Daily briefing being led by Priti Patel

She’s a very attractive woman.

If it's this angry it's probably socialist

What does that mean?

You dislike her WW.....we get it.?

The other glorious statement , I don’t know if you noticed sirchen was her insistence when asked where she had been - her reply

I’ve been workin’ virtually every day, seven days a week, .... three days a week actually.”
??

I think she would have been better off with Larry’s lectern, as well.

Not easy being a Tory but far better than going to the dark side

I liked her confidence in her figures too Urm - it was an absolute joy to behold

I liked her conviction and her confidence in what she was saying but I think she is going to get some flack for the "I’m sorry you feel that way statement" and at points she seemed to lack empathy . But overall I think she held her own and out of a lot of the MP's and government officials who have given press conferences and been on panels, she seems to really listen to the questions and break down the answer.

As frustrated as I get with how a lot of answers are breezed over and the go to statement is "we are following the science" Maybe they don't have the answers currently and maybe we will get more insight over this next week?

I don’t know - we do need a little light entertainment to see us through these dark days (however many thousands of hundreds and thousands there may be ahead of us)

I can only conclude after reading the reaction to Patels car crash of a press conference that she would have been better off remaining wherever she has been for a month.

That’s better WW ....get back to content and leave all the snobbish comments about diction/ accent behind!

Priti Vacant didn’t disappoint, I’ll give you that.

Oh well at least you can bask in your superiority

It’s a good thing us working classes have got intelligent people like you to guide us.

Does anyone remember the massive grief given to Abbott over her muddled numbers? Makes you smile doesn’t it?

It was not her finest hour I must say, along with all her dropped “g’s” and somethink.

I'm irritated by her poor diction, apparent low intelligence and uncaring attitude. What is she doing (doing, not doin) as our Home Secretary?

Three hundred thousand and thirty four, nine hundred and seventy four thousand tests carried out across the UK

That’s like a huge big massive number of amount of tests

It was her mention of our "national pandemic" that did it for me!

Eglantine
I think some posters are very easily irritated.

Actually, seriously if socialism isn’t egalitarian and mocks others’ backgrounds, what is it?

I’m sad at where it’s gone.

If .you say so eglantine

It would irritate your delicate ear.........

Diction, accent, whatever.

It’s still snobby.

You’d be horrified at mine?

I am not mocking her accent, she doesn’t appear to have a pronounced one .

I am irritated by her diction. And don’t be silly it’s not snobbish it is irritation.

Haters gonna hate.

Nobody has mentioned her numerical slip up:
"Three hundred thousand and thirty four, nine hundred and seventy four thousand tests carried out across the UK"

If Diane Abbott made that mistake, it’d be front page news.
