You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Why the hell cant they start on time? I’m annoyed already, and that’s before he’s uttered a single word.
I've trained myself to skip over them without reading - I don't always look at the poster's name before I read a post, but the first line always gives it away
Also re Johnson; you’re right why isn’t he there? For whatever reason, he’s no longer able to do this job. He’s a (political) dead man walking.
As John Crace said in the Guardian yesterday, if Johnson sacks Cummings, he's effectively sacking himself. He's basically a narcissistic sock-puppet for Cummings, without his hand up Johnson's fat butt, there's nothing going on except a desperate desire to be important.
We really don't need any political news regardless during this pandemic as people are already stressed out.
The press is not really doing the people any good. Blame the press.

Yeh, I usually do that but this one had been quiet for a while so I’d got out of the habit
.
what do you read into the delay? That they're still arguing over whether he goes or not?
Already over 10 minutes late - complete contempt for the public!
Goings is looking at the live BBC viewing figures and waiting for record numbers, so he makes himself feel far more important than he really is.
Already over 10 minutes late
His kid needs to pee-pee.
Durham Police restating that they spoke to Cummings father in April who said his son and immediate family were at his property and had symptoms and were self isolating there.
Complete power play.
Maybe they realised it's against ministerial code and trying to tell Boris he have to do it
Heh. It’s the one time in recent memory they have done good.
Press is always press so no surprise there even during this period.

BBC needs the rating as they have not been able to produce anything "interesting" for a while and with all the criticism towards them, they are fighting back ...
Is there a CV briefing today, or we getting this "instead"...?
Wouldn’t put it past him not to do the press conference now, and claim that he never said he would do one… deny what “sources close to the PM’s advisor” have said, again.
Stuck in traffic southbound on the M1?
He's only appearing so we can all apologise to him for the way he's been treated.
Is this going to run into the daily briefing?
Expecting doubling down and righteous anger.
Is anyone expecting this to be anything other than a car crash?
Is this going to run into the daily briefing?
Ruse to make the exposure to scrutiny shorter.
Being late limits the amount of time for questions before the daily briefing (BJ himself) kicks in promptly at 5pm to the second.
EDIT, about 3 seconds after posting the radio tells me the daily briefing has moved to 6pm. Shows what I know.
Have government sources not yet leaked whether government sources are or aren't going to resign yet?
Limited time for questions, for sure. Do you think we’ll get a “that’s none of your business” answer?
EDIT: 6pm? Damn, weekly zoom with the grandparents who my kids haven’t seen this year is at six.
His kid needs to pee-pee
I will need one if it doesn't happen soon! 22 minutes and counting - he is seriously taking the p*ss!
Ha ha, I love this
The Thick Of It.
22 minutes and counting
He needs help pulling his pants up.
It's a miracle he was ever elected as prime Minister.
Bridgen (asshole) has dropped that the public will be 'surprised' at the details Dom has not yet been able to share as he can't 'tell his side of the story', until now, that is.
He's going to balls it out.
I'm switching the telly off.
I've got a barbecue to get going (household only, of course).
This **** can wait for another day.
He's delaying as a power trip, same as the main act comes on late to build the anticipation.
Though in this case it means everyone is losing patience and it will just make it worse.
Either that or the Durham Police statement has thrown a serious spanner in the works.
I'd laugh my socks off if he's been taken in for questioning by the plod.
He's obviously struggling to arrange childcare.
Just shows the contempt he and his puppet have for us plebs
It's the tramp outfit......
doubling down......
Whoever is trying to play the Jaws theme on the cello is making a right arse of it.
so 10 seconds in it is clear, he has no intention of resigning.
The bullshit klaxon is going off in the background already!
Sounds like a Boris has pulled the fire alarm in the background 😂
‘Nobody’ in London who could help.
It’s a meek and mild pity party.
<great saxophone solo>
What the f*** is that Claxton sound in the background? I can't concentrate on what Cumstain is saying.
Safe, safe, safe… does that mean everyone left behind in London were not staying safe, and acting with safety in mind?
He IS playing the victim
Boo bloody hoo.
Release the hounds
Did he really say he went to see his wife (who had symptoms) and then went back to work?
Don't try the Princess Di emotionally vulnerable. No-one believes you.
His day trip was to “test his eyesight”… WTF?!?
Abso-****ing-lute bullshit merchant.
He had balls though, I'll give him that.
Loving the retro World Cup feel...
A 30 minute test drive? Well played sir!
this is like a made up story to fit the facts....
This is like a suspect reading a prepared statement in an interview, but less convincing.
Told ya. Pee-Pee!
So what is is describing is still breaking the rules. He drove for 30mins for non essential journey.
What a crock of shit this all is
Perhaps they could get Tom Hardy to read this out on Jackanory
I'm going to see my parents tomorrow to see if they look the same as I remember. Can't be too careful......
30 minute test drive with dodgy eyesight? That just happened to end up at a beauty spot?
UK. You have just been trolled.
We are ****ed.
He's playing the victim card, looking up every now and again to check the reactions and modifying his voice accordingly.
Not buying a second of it.

Damn, bullshit-o-meter doesnt work
"I did it all to help you.....PLEBS!"
Can we all do a short test drive to see if we can safely drive when we're drunk, or on strong meds now? That's the way to test you're safe isn't it, drive a massive SUV around risking other people's lives?
So he also didn't isolate while his wife had symptoms and went for a non-essential drive to assess his fitness?
Please stop this bedtime story and just resign.
Holy shit!
He was in bed with Boris?
Ok reporters.....Attack!
Good explanation Cummings. Well done!
This has now strengthen PM BoJo hands further.
Now let the devil press chew on the details.
No regrets. Obviously.
Not Laura, obviously
What a crappy little table he is sat at
Half an hour late, treat people with contempt again... Disgrace
Did I just hear that his kid got admitted to hospital in Durham? So his potentially CV riddled child and definitely CV riddled wife were spreading it around the hospital?
Was that not one of the explicit reasons why folk should not travel to 2nd homes?
No regrets DOH 🙄
Doctor, my eyes are playing up, any advice?
Go for a drive, see if you can see a nice castle or something.
Kuenssberg is giving him a second chance to apologise or express any regret at all… no chance of that happening.
Not an ounce of humanity in his body, no apology. Cretin.
