With every press conference he gets worse

[Keepcalmanddoyourbit]

Totally out of his fucking depth

Disgraceful. We all know UC is a fucking mess. How dare they!

"Take responsibility for yourself", that has been made impossible for many thanks to austerity. Communities and families have been split up because of the bedroom tax.

Key workers has been listed by my GC school as, NHS workers, teachers, SW, Carer, Supermarket delivery and staff, postal workers, police.

There's a form that has to be submitted tomorrow.

He's a shambles 😲

To be fair whoever the PM was we’d be moaning, nobody would be able to do right.

I know people struggle with this concept

But you can think boris is a twat AND jezza

It really doesn’t have to be one or the other

• I was intrigued by the trailing of the self administered test “like a pregnancy test”. I don’t believe a word of it*

He fucked up there it's a blood test I believe. Utter idiot.

Think about any CEO you know, they would blow him away. The house is full of lightweights on all sides. The remaining heavyweights are in the Lords. Sturgeon is more statesman like. Good god Arlene Phillips is more statesman like. Just put Cummings up there so we can hear from the organ grinder and not the monkey.

He's just not a 'figurehead' type person. He looked like a trainee teacher on their 4th lesson. He needs to be sincere and very clear on what everyone should be doing. He was bored and couldn't be bothered.
This is the most important issue facing the world for a hundred years and we all need direction and information. He's a shambles. Chris Witty and Sir P are much more eloquent and clear.

Still no list of key workers and schools due to shut tomorrow

He is obviously being advised by others, these aren't his sole decisions

Absolutely....

For all those asking where the lost of key workers is, our school emailed it out in a letter at 4pm today so it is out there. I’ve taken a screenshot from our letter.

People...ordinary working people don’t have savings. They live week by week and visit food banks, have to make economically choices. This bloody Govt. has driven the country into despair.

Can't be arsed? He is probably exhausted and really needs to be meeting advisors and experts and formulating policy but knows if he doesn't spend an hour of his time reassuring you guys he'll get slated.

Completely agree Redbonnie, although you wouldn't even need to go to CEO level, the owner of my local shop would do a better job. Awful. No confidence.

Who are the key workers?? We need to know!

Thanks, Piglet89. About the test -- loads of people have coughs and snuffles at this time of year anyway, so how the hell do they decide whether to keep working or self-isolate? Risk losing their livelihood or risk dying or killing people? I've just seen private Covid-19 tests offered for £375. That did not improve my mood.

Bloomburger I couldn't care less if he's exhausted! He's the bloody Prime Minister - he needs to lead. I'm exhausted, millions of people are exhausted, skint and trying to adjust to a new reality but none of us are the PM - frankly, if he isn't exhausted he's doing something wrong.

bluewavescrashing it's all over the web. Take responsibility and research it or would you prefer he spends extra vital time reading out the list for you?

I like the way the journos press him on his weak points

What exactly does 12 weeks to turn the tide mean Mr. Bo(dge) Jo(b)?

''Er well in 12 weeks time I think er well......''

Source please? @Bloomburger

All we are seeing on the Web is lists of key workers from previous emergencies. This is unprecedented. Happy to be corrected if anyone has info directly related to COVID-19.

We expect leadership, clear communication and gravitas. For all the Tory supporters how do you think Thatcher would be handling these press conferences ? Whatever is going on behind the scenes he needs to bring the country with him and today told me he isn’t up to the job.

We've been sent countless messages from the children's schools, there are lists on different threads on here and newspapers are full of lists here.

Schools can find out the occupations of parents today. The key worker list isn't going to be much different to what you'd imagine. NHS staff, pharmacies, delivery drivers, teachers, postal workers bin men. They will be able to reasonably estimate the number of students.

Think about the decisions he is making on a daily basis. Headteachers have had a bad week and they only deal with one school in one sector. He deals with every sector. Yes he has advisors but he has to meet them all etc. This situation is unprecedented.

Would you want his job?

Today he looked like he was going to laugh at some points. He's appalling. I think I might give up on these briefings, they're embarrassing.

How anyone can feel reassured is beyond me.

My children's school have stated they don't know who key workers are yet so their list was just to gain an idea of numbers.
