Pippa Crecar set up for the hat trick after this, one would hope.

First presser I'm watching for weeks. The numbers for cases, deaths and hospital capacity look superb, let my parents see my nephew now you cunts.
Is there a bigger fanny in the country than Robert Peston? Talk properly you twat.
Boris is doing a great job with that shovel of his.
Ian is my fav!
Glad that 'One rule for me, another for thee' is official Tory policy now.
Less so now he’s working
He’s all over the place![]()
It's hard to defend the indefensible.
What has Dom got on all these people? The slavish devotion is incredible.
Wave after wave
Well played reporters, none of this Trumpist 'change topic and allow him to breathe' bollocks.
When he tried to jog the Politco guy on before he got his follow up question in and failed.![]()
Trust the fucking hideous whale to ask a completely dead question.
Why die on this hill? Why why why?
I think you've backed the wrong horse here, Lewis.
That was awful.
I like how both sides just keep referring to The Guidance without actually being able to directly reference or quote any of it to settle the matter one way or another. Both of you need to stfu.
I thought we were waiting on your work's chat.
You seem upset.
Someone is losing their job
Love how they brought the school’s announcement up from next week. Totally failed.
They're going to have to pull something big out of the bag to brush this under the carpet.
This is all such an unforced error. They've completely torched the entire narrative around the entire issue to the point where I have no idea what the vague fluff he mentioned about moving to lockdown phase 2 even means, if it means anything at all.
The incompetence in not ending the story is remarkable. Cummings, or any advisor, cannot be THAT valuable to them. If he is then they shouldn't be pretending to form a government in the first place. Even if they really wanted to keep him, they could have poured water on it by admitting guilt first up but saying he doesn't need to resign over it. It would be a storm for a day or two but not the complete self-napalming effort that this is.
The problem is half the Parliamentary party owe Boris their careers and the other half are raving lunatics, so there won't be any challenge to him.
They were with me on the footnote (not definitive) but the key that slipped us both was the reasonable excuses are not exhaustive, simply 'includes...[list]' which I guess means there is no clear answer to this which ultimately means you have to be biased to make a definitive judgement on his actions.
But I think we can all agree Boris shat it with that response today.
Screenie, pls.

Today is the unofficial end of the lockdown then. No one will take it seriously after that.
There is no story to end beyond the press pissing themselves and misleading people, so how would admitting ('admitting') that he did something wrong help there? These things have only ended in the past when the government shat their pants and whoever their target was got hounded out. There are new rules, and the media don't like it.
I thought I was the mentally fucked one of TTH. Welcome, Lew.
I thought more of you Lewbot.
Because they are the UK government and (always, but especially now) need to be communicating clearly with the public. This stops them from doing so, not only because 'he is the story', but because the content itself completely blurs all the rules that we are meant to be following.
Lewis has gone full Goldberg.
That gives media organs an effective veto on policy, because they can just chuck enough shit in the air and then the bottlers and the wets will cave to avoid the 'distraction'. The Conservative Party has spent the past twenty years running scared of the outrage bus with fuck all to show for it. If they cave in over this then that would be a far bigger unforced error.
Lost (it on) the New Board.
