He only works Wednesdays. He combines this with PMQs.

sickoflockdown2020 · 16/06/2020 10:01

Really, he only works one day a week?

Are you missing him?

roxfox · 16/06/2020 10:04

He's gone part time. One day a week - Wednesdays after pmq's. Dominic covers the other 6 Hmm

sickoflockdown2020 · 16/06/2020 10:06

@ssd no not missing him :)
@roxfox what is the reasoning behing that, is he still claiming to be ill?

You are wrong. Dominic covers EVERYTHING Boris says or does, not just the 6 days Boris decides to skivy.

Watching last night's covid briefing, I was almost shouting at the telly, ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!

Raab really really knows how to avoid answering doesn't he. But it makes him look silly, not clever, like he doesn't know any answers.

@ssd it was very frustrating to watch

He will be available for photo opportunities. We don’t want to miss that messed up hair do that is getting worse by the day and presented to us as the result of his heavy participation in the problems of the country. It also looks very intellectual at the dispatch box and might help to inform us that he is in charge.

When he can announce something that he thinks will make people happy. He likes to do the good news and leave e.g. Matt Hancock to announce the bad stuff.

bigchris · 16/06/2020 11:00

It's usually Wednesdays but he is in different settings throughout the week I've noticed being interviewed, schools, factories, shopping centres

sickoflockdown2020 · 16/06/2020 11:00

@Vanillaradio I think you are spot on, we will probably see him next around 29th June to announce scrapping of the quarantine laws at borders and reopening of pub gardens July 4th :)

He’s leading by example and currently can be found shaking hands in the queue for Harrods

Mumratheevergiving · 16/06/2020 11:16

He’ll also pop up at the podium when he can proclaim there have been no Covid deaths that day (admittedly news we are all looking forward to hearing).

Iamagree · 16/06/2020 11:18

He's hiding behind the Telegraph paywall.

Iamagree · 16/06/2020 11:20

Anyway he'll be off on holiday soon, won't he? for at least six weeks

OddestSock · 16/06/2020 11:38

I spotted him third in line at Primark yesterday.

SistemaAddict · 16/06/2020 11:45

He looked like crap yesterday when I saw him on the news. Perhaps he is suffering long terms effects of covid. He's a crap PM but then that is no surprise. The man hid in a fridge to avoid brexit questions do he's hardly going to be volunteering for lots of awkward covid questions by doing the briefings.
