Thread three for following the uproar at playing down the lock down and rewriting the rules.

Sheesh, he could hardly keep the smirk off his face then, could he?

SouthWestmom · 25/05/2020 16:52

Oooh hands on hips Peston

Too much of a waffly question. Need to ask him closed questions

itsgettingweird · 25/05/2020 16:52

Oh they have something. He's desperate to get him to say he's actually been nowhere else. No broken lockdown trips.

vera99 · 25/05/2020 16:52

A car crash Fuck it, I was going to wait until after all this, but I'm breaking out the chocolate digestives now.

Belindabelle - lol. You're right. The shirt is much too big for him. Bet he turned up in a t-shirt he'd slept in.

Roussette · 25/05/2020 16:53

WHY haven't they been tested? Of all people, he would get a test? WHY?

SouthWestmom · 25/05/2020 16:53

Wait! Son admitted but not tested?

I don't care about his sodding parents, I care he travelled while infectious. And put a Durham hospital at risk by bringing the child to hospital when that child should have been in London.

effingterrified · 25/05/2020 16:53

Why can't Peston come up with clearly worded questions. He's had long enough to come up with them.

HatRack · 25/05/2020 16:53

Unfortunately I think he's done well here

Are you watching the same briefing as the rest of us?

vera99 · 25/05/2020 16:53

He's made it worse. He went back into fucking work with an ill wife. If I was a cleaner at Downing St I'd be fucking livid!

Everytimeref · 25/05/2020 16:53

Think the mass of Toryland will lap this up. He will get away with it.

Cailleach1 · 25/05/2020 16:53

Advice was to self isolate if you had symptoms. How many people where tested?

StrawberryJam200 · 25/05/2020 16:54

Earlier he said son was tested and it came back negative

effingterrified · 25/05/2020 16:54

Why didn't he have a live-in nanny, given his job. Not like he can't afford one.

SouthWestmom · 25/05/2020 16:54

They don't. Someone put me out of my misery and point me to the guidance that says small children and exceptional?

I don't believe anyone near BJ wouldn't have been tested.

AlovelybitofsquirrelJackie · 25/05/2020 16:54

Ask about dancing to ABBA...
Can the University Hospital of North Durham issue a statement?
He is classic narcissist and playing the victim.
It's depressing.

effingterrified · 25/05/2020 16:54

How could his son get a test??

SabrinaThwaite · 25/05/2020 16:54

Come on, someone ask about Wakefield's story about emerging from quarantine into London lockdown?

vera99 · 25/05/2020 16:54

remember when Prince Andrew was the person who made a fool of themselves with an ill-advised statement?

itsgettingweird · 25/05/2020 16:55

He drove to test his eyesight.

Thank the fucking gods it was alright and he didn't kill anyone then.

Roussette · 25/05/2020 16:55

I agree with you NewAccount
It's the wriggling out of it, it's the rewriting of the rules.

GrimmsFairytales · 25/05/2020 16:55

He's made it worse.

I agree. Still feeling sick at BC, the wee stop at bluebell woods, the hospital trip. He's making it sound so much worse, he clearly didn't just go to the other house and self isolate.
