MOnica - exactly!

I think it would be better to tighten right up on the current restrictions before introducing ever more complicated ones.

* Grannygravy13* It is not about what Boris is trying to do (save lives and jobs). It is the fact that his attempts to do so are erratic, shambolic, and disorganised and that very few people believe that he has a clue what he is doing or that the measures he has taken will be effective.

He keeps blaming everyone but himself for the problems but if he wants compliance from the public he needs to show that the measures he announces are thought through. consistent and effective. So far he has failed to show that.

Why ,oh why doesn't he answer the questions ?Every time he dodges. Must be that he hasn't the slightest idea .

He starts off fairly decisive and strong.
Then it goes downhill from there. Possibly when it isn't scripted and requires him to know what he is talking about.

I find him almost impossible to listen to MissA

I tried to listen to him doing the briefing tonight but he just does my head in.

Well it was loud and clear what he's doing to Liverpool !

It's all bluster. He's just like Trump and the reality of being PM is more than he's capable of. Heaven help us as the situation gets more worrying by the day.

I find him very confusing to listen to.

Why does he never answer the questions put to him and why doesn't the speaker tell him too. Yvette Cooper was appalled [and not for the first time].

EV Liverpool and Merseyside have the highest infection rate, he couldn’t
let everyone carry on as they are at the moment.

If he did nothing he would be criticised, he is trying to save lives whilst saving as many jobs as possible.

Boris has aged 15 years.

I think we all knew that Liverpool/ Merseyside would come out worst, but, will the government put their hands in their pockets now and save this part of the country instead of ignoring it all these years as if the place didn't exist ?
The economy of the area hangs in the balance as do people's lives.

Let's hear what he has to say...
