I’m beginning to feel sorry for him.

Burble burble burble. Whiffle whiffle

Boris has said at least six times that people should move on. That will come as a huge relief to families of 60,000 who have died

I don't think there is another head of government in the world who would be as ill-informed about the government's own policies and guidance as this ... it is shameful. Humiliating for Britain. People all over the world watching this fucking conman

Johnson knows nothing about anything.

What on earth does he do all day?

MayBee70 Wed 27-May-20 16:38:25

Johnson has just stated that if you are asymptomatic you will not test positive for the virus if you have it. Which is wrong.

Some people have wondered why Starmer has not taken part in the recent fracas .

It is quite clear now. Apart from a couple of very good interviews in which Starmer made clear his opinion over Cummings etc.

From this committee replies it is clear that Johnson is at his most comfortable is when he can chunter on about opposition politics and sound bites. He is useless at answering questions

Whitewavemark2 Wed 27-May-20 16:47:27

Posted too soon.

Starmer, by Keeping himself aloof from such nonsense is playing a very clever card.

He is leaving Johnson fully exposed to answering questions which he patently can’t answer.

I've been forbidden from announcing any more deadlines," says the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, smirking like a schoolboy caught scrumping apples.
Forbidden by whom?

MayBee70 Wed 27-May-20 16:50:56

I don’t even know what he’s talking about.

Grannynannywanny Wed 27-May-20 16:52:18

I don’t think he even knows what he’s talking about. This is painful to watch

Whitewavemark2 Wed 27-May-20 16:53:17

Every time he appears it is more and more obvious why they try to keep him away from the cameras.

Lucca Wed 27-May-20 16:56:31

Wish I hadn’t watched that. It’s made me so angry. Yvette Cooper put Boris to shame with her to the point questioning. From Boris all we got was ....
Waffle. Evade. Accuse questioners of political point scoring.

And to think some people think him Churchillian, Churchill must be spinning in his grave, he'd never bumble and bluff his way like this, and you don't have to like Churchill to think this.

As for the number of tests being done, one quarter of all the tests to date have been sent out by post. These tests may never be used or returned for analysis. The figures for the 25th May ( I admit a bank holiday) show that the total of 109,979 tests recorded for that day includes the 49,503 tests posted out. On the government's own website they only confirm just over one million people having been tested.

We have 4 more bloody years of this.

If only we lived in a democracy

MayBee70 Wed 27-May-20 17:02:41

I think I deserve a medal for sitting through this. It’s hurting my brain.

Astonishing that the Prime Minister seems to have no idea what “no recourse to public funds” means.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 27-May-20 17:11:34

He is falling apart. He needs wheeling off.

grumppa Wed 27-May-20 17:12:30

The more he waffles on, the more I am reminded of Bertie Wooster confronted by Aunt Agatha. Unfortunately, instead of Jeeves hovering in the background we have the abominable Cummings.

janipat Wed 27-May-20 17:12:51

The figures for yesterday's tests have been released. 58% of the tests were sent out, 68,312 out of 117, 013. It's the only way they've managed to ramp up to the target figures for testing.

Surely he has to run out of er er ers soon!

Whitewavemark2 Wed 27-May-20 17:22:14

Johnson hasn’t answered anything at all.

He can’t go on surely?

Oopsminty Wed 27-May-20 17:25:31

Don't call me Shirley

Whitewavemark2 Wed 27-May-20 17:33:14

?

If you were in any doubt or needed confirmation why Cummings is so secure in his seat, this afternoon will make it crystal clear..

Johnson’s lack of depth indeed lack of knowledge is fully exposed.

Tories must already be giving consideration on who will be the next prime minister

Whitewavemark2 Wed 27-May-20 17:35:43

Quote of the day

PM has just said “I’m not giving you a deadline right now. I have been forbidden from announcing any more targets”
By whom? He’s the actual prime minister

At the weekend, 7 am to be precise, taking a daily walk to a nearby Cornish beach usually empty at that time I was surprised at the number of people already there. Hearing the various dialects,I doubt these people were local, which confirmed they must had travelled many miles, some maybe overnight, and confirmed by the varying car number plates on the crowded beach side car park. Some of the occupants being, no doubt ,among those now complaining about a gov minister travelling to see his family.
