The headline appeared in the Guardian, so some bias may be involved.
I suspect that the Guardian (and others like the CBI and Unions) is dissatisfied because Boris chose not to rehearse all the current difficulties but was resolutely optimistic about the future.
Personally I prefer to look forward rather than whine about how awful things are, or things were.
I doubt very much that normal, hard-working business people give a toss about such a speech, which is usually delivered at the end of a tiresome week of back-stabbing, incoherent, squealing from the redtops like the guardian, and the whole shebang - paid for with our dosh, is a charade nowadays.
Luckily some sort of pension - like we have here, plus a few quid from some investments, make us secure for the rest of our lives, it's the next lot, mostly leftie as far as I can see, will get the flak, but then they can vote in anyone they like!
DJ - I prefer to look forward too and if only we were to pursue a rational course many people would get behind it. It is possible that we can afford all the wasted effort and deranged ideas and we'll muddle through anyway, but I don't find it easy to be more optimistic than that.
Scrobs - it is a charade but the coronavirus mess tells us that we cannot escape the consequences of the charade and it could get worse.

Good luck to 'em, they brought it on themselves!
