Anyone know why Boris suddenly decided to address the Nation on tv tonight.?
This was not pre- advertised , but just announced to the media a couple of hours before it was screened...It was to take your mind of todays PMQs and the Downing St Christmas Party.
In Boris's own words...... "Now is the time to throw a dead cat on the table"....
Theres been several at the last minute. Like the one about Omicron 2 or 3 weeks ago. Yes his clearly messed up this xmas party cover up or been very badly let down by those around him, but doing a press conference like this hardly avoiding the issue, most questions to hi, were about the party not about plan B and its gonna continue
The SAGE meeting was yesterday, this breifing followed from that.. Am sure Boris would rather of been lying low rather than in front of Laura Keunsburg Beth Rigbey etc
Eh?I never said it was. She held a party with kay burley and others and broke other rules and guidance as we all know so she's gonna be wary now about what she Sat's as she's gonna sound a hypacrite .
Am not defending the downing street party or bodged cover up its a likely disgrace ( let's see tho if the re were 6 people or 40) but I don't think plan B briefing was a smokescreen/ dead cat.
Why put extra words in gulliver like "I am convinced Covid rules were obeyed at the Party 22.33" he never mentioned the word party. I agree that an investigation has to be carried out but why add in things that were not said.
