Welcome Back Boris

[Bobbisox1]

Back leading from the front on today’s daily briefing

[sherrardk]

Wait for it ...

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, Sherr, taps fingers

[fiction-factory]

I thought that Boris, Chris Witty and Patrick Valance were a good combination today, although I was bit worried at first Boris might be trying to answer every question himself without calling on the scientists

[fiction-factory]

Boris still doesn't look close to fully fit to me (yawn, no I'm still not his doctor, anne, before you ask), but he exudes a bit more positivity than some of the others and seems less of an easy target to journalists than Matt Hancock is.

[AuntPollyGrey]

He was a bit Marilyn Munroe at he beginning ( breathy happy birthday mr. president ) but he did a good job. Chris Whitty is the star of this show. I don't know why but he has the ability to inspire confidence in everything he says.

[bednobs]

well who would have thought it, i thought boris was quite bumbling today and i actually preferred Raab. He also seemed quite breathless to me, but remarkable awake-looking for a new parent!

// I was bit worried at first Boris might be trying to answer every question himself without calling on the scientists //

He's got the sense not to do that, unlike others we could mention.

[anneasquith]

Actually ff, I am not his doctor either ( as you know), but I did think he had a slight bluish tinge around his lips, but no apparent breathlessness.

[anneasquith]

ff ** fiction factory.

Like they don't have staff...lol!

[diddlydo]

I bet Whitty and Valance wanted to crawl under a stone when he completely ballsed-up the first question from the Cornish lady by getting the wrong end of the stick - no wonder they had nothing to add.

[Bobbisox1]

By the way diddlysquat
Where’s Corbyn now a days ?

[diddlydo]

Bobbisox - the Ed has warned people not to refer to other users of this site by anything other than their "proper" (for this site) names.
Any answer to my comment above?

[-SharonA-]

Agree with fiction,Boris still looks ill.

[tonyav]

He looks run down to me ( which is well understandable ).

[Bobbisox1]

Okay Diddlydo, same question....

[Mozz71]

Why does Corbyn matter Bobbs? He's not the leader of the opposition any more. It's like asking "Where's Cameron?" .

[Bobbisox1]

Because he’s held in high esteem by those who delight in knocking Boris, I’ll rephrase this
Could Corbyn have done any better?

[Mozz71]

I'm no fan of Jezza, so I think my answer would differ from Diddly's. As you know, I think Boris has done as mich as anybody else could've in these very trying times.

[Bobbisox1]

And after being very ill too
