Aibu Angela McLean

[notonmywatchyouwont]

Is it me or is she a complete car crash to watch on the daily coronavirus briefings?

[cansu]

I thought she seemed quite annoyed with the government line and was clearly trying to distance herself from the decisions taken by ministers. I think Therese Coffey's statement on BBC will have pissed off the scientists.

[66redballons]

What a nasty thread. She’s is a scientist, i don’t think they take public speaking classes.

[Suze1621]

I thought she came accross very poorly and really didn't inspire confidence with her defensive attitude.

[notonmywatchyouwont]

Lol yep I had to be careful I typed her name correctly, I'm usually more likely to be talking about Andrea McLean lol!

[RigaBalsam]

Trending on twitter. The divide between the government and the scientists.

She was very adamant about the test, track and trace being essential in all of this.

[cheesemongery]

Thought this was a Loose Women thread.

[PurpleDaisies]

What was she supposedly lying about @IncrediblySadToo?

That's true, we dont "disappear" or have a string of mysterious window accidents...we have the British Press. Scariest prospect of all.

[BubblegumFactory]

I don’t watch any of the them. Can’t abide seeing the public being gaslighted and fobbed off with non answers.
At a time like this, clear and honest communication is vital and we just aren’t receiving it. Mixed messages, outright lies, it’s shameful.

[longwayoff]

I hope you're right @PicsInRed and that she hasn't got any skeletons in the cupboard or she'll be getting the Professor Ferguson treatment shortly.

[IsolatedIzzy]

She was stumbling but those new graphs aren't the clearest. I thought she was very honest tonight, she certainly wasn't following the party line. She clearly didn't think the Govt should have attached dates for the stages of releasing the lockdown.

[ibblebibbledibble]

I like her.

[HarveySchlumpfenburger]

Where’s Boris? Before he got ill he was doing them almost every day.

Takes a long time to recover from being as ill has he was. I’d be surprised if he was up to anything like a full time job yet.

[IncrediblySadToo]

I hope that her stance made clear to all concerned that the scientists won't be taking the fall over this and will speak to what happened

I hope that's the case!

[MarshaBradyo]

And the press were irritating today.

[PicsInRed]

I hope that her stance made clear to all concerned that the scientists won't be taking the fall over this and will speak to what happened.

Good for them and good for her.

[MarshaBradyo]

I liked her. Didn’t waffle on.

[Frazzled2207]

@whereistheone
What do you think would be a useful question?

[IncrediblySadToo]

She hadn't been too bad until today. But today she was a total car crash

Stutter, stumble, lie, silence
Eyes averted the whole time
Body language was dreadful

[Port1aCastis]

I like her she's real

Yes this ^^^

[longwayoff]

Time to start blaming the scientists for Boris's complete mishandling of this emergency. Let's witchhunt them and their stats and shift responsibility for it over there. Yes, look over there. Not me guv. I've got clean hands, what with washing them so much. Under guidance, obviously.

[Frazzled2207]

I thought both of them were dire today. But Raab yesterday was the bottom of the barrel. I don’t like Harries either but she is enormously better at these than Dame Angela who genuinely doesn’t come across as helpful at all. I assume she’s got more to contribute in other ways?

Where’s Boris? Before he got ill he was doing them almost every day.

[MarcelineMissouri]

She just sounded fed up to me!

[EthelMayFergus]

The press are really irritating and she's not polished enough to hide her irritation. I like her, she's 'real'.

[PicsInRed]

Picswell as parliament are off next week he can put his wellies where his mouth is!

Hope he'll be sleeping in farm barracks with all his troops...
