The Liverpool Echo is reporting that our “leader” is missing PMQ today.
Boris Johnson to miss PMQs again as public raise questions

As an Old Etonian I thought he’d be used to getting his trousers pulled down in public

He’s clearly not still ill as he was out running: Boris Johnson is spotted in exercise gear for first time since intensive care battle with Covid-19 | Daily Mail Online

And last I checked paternity was two weeks.

Is he just hiding? If I was Raab or Hancock I’d be wondering why I’m listening to him at all.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Expect someone to start wheeling out some Brexit talk to deflect this.

Priti Patel has been doing just that.

In other news, get ready for all your data to end up with the CIA

He's getting trained & coached to not look quite so foolish apparently

Obviously didn’t go well if he’s cried off today as reported.

All our data is already with the CIA. Five Eyes get around not being allowed to hack their own citizens by hacking each other’s and sharing the results.

Clearly Dom's training didn't pay off, as standing there and saying everything is great just made him look even more clueless than he already did

I think that’s a caricature of Dom’s position actually

Don’t think he means you.

In all seriousness if Boris keeps avoiding the briefing it doesn’t look good.

 

[chiefdave]

Their own scientific advisers seem to be distancing themselves (pardon the pun)

Whitty starts most of his comments with can i just add before saying something completely different to the minister that has just spoken! You do have to wonder if the scientific advisors fear they are going to be made the scapegoats with all this 'follow the science'. The briefings certainly give the impression something isn't right behind the scenes.

Bet he's wishing he had missed it right now. Really exposed again without the back benchers behind him to shout everything down.

Boris probably wishing he had avoided PMQs today. Rattled as fuck and has just agreed to 200k tests not 200k capacity

As a scientist myself ‘follow the science’ pisses me off and I imagine it’s worse for those who are being relied on to provide a fall back for the government. When the dude said children are nearly as infectious as adults it blew a massive whole in the argument the government had been making. So they had to admit it’s about reopening the crèche and not really about education.

Well he sort of is given how shite he has been

Fucking lol

Don’t think promising 25k track and tracers is a bad thing by the end of the month, unless you want to put a negative spin on it

NHS Surcharge not presenting a good Look here .
"Where should we substitute the £900M windfall from that".
I think there are many places .

Hands tied by this ideology on immigration , much like the ex soldier with the £30K bill for treatment.
Windrush all over again

Racists

Hospital staff paying ‘extortionate’ charges to park at work, says UNISON | News, Press release | News | UNISON National

Government bows to pressure to drop staff parking fees in England | Nursing Times

Seem to have found a way on this ,seems to be a similar amount over a year .
Of course this was across the board ,not to single out one community.

Edit:-. Claim that immigrants “only” pay £400 surcharge to use the NHS ignores their tax contributions

Shows how bad things are when we're supposed to celebrate the fact the PM has actually bothered to turn up to PMQs.

Hardly celebrating, just pointing out everyone believing some bollocks article about him not turning up

OMG stop point scoring

 

[stupot07]

I bet he wished he had missed it. The mans a waffling joke.

That is great, but you buy enough bricks to build a house, it doesn't mean you have a house. The whole system needs to be in place and up and running. It's already too late for thousands who have already tragically died. Hopefully it will all be done by 1st June.

It is if you can't keep it.

Here you fucking go pretending that just pulling a random fucking target out the air makes up.for the months of failings and the thousands of unnecessary deaths.

You are fucking sick kid sick in the head

You are of course right - however he is somehow proving he can be simultaneously absent and present....

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

some tory MP (who looks a little like beaker from the muppets) just proposed a medal for NHS workers....FFS!

How about stick the medal up yer arse, provide adequate PPE & pay them properly you prick!

Yeah, cause they've hit every testing target during the pandemic.

Exactly, it's no cause for celebration when the most important piece of the jigsaw the app has so many issues.
