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

Nothing actually happened. He went to Durham because it's nicer and has woods to walk in.

Point m) in that list above, Noeuf. He was scared of the baying mob that was apparently outside.

vera99 · 25/05/2020 16:55

He’s done for, this is embarrassing.

Roussette · 25/05/2020 16:55

Beth is great. Stick it to him

minou123 · 25/05/2020 16:55

Oh, so he did see his parents... but shouted at a distance

I'm not buying the bullshit he is selling.

tootyfruitypickle · 25/05/2020 16:56

Beth rigby is so awesome

itsgettingweird · 25/05/2020 16:56

He was telling the truth up until the we decided to travel to Durham.

His body language shows that. I hope a body language expert directs this.

Focusanddetermination · 25/05/2020 16:56

They think the general public are absolute imbeciles don't they

That's the only thing that explains the lies I just saw

Justyou · 25/05/2020 16:56

Love Beth!!

SabrinaThwaite · 25/05/2020 16:56

Beth Rigby giving him opportunity to apologise - he ain't gonna do it, is he?

janet1267 · 25/05/2020 16:56

He hesitated when asked if his wife had been anywhere else. I do think they know something else.

effingterrified · 25/05/2020 16:57

Yay!

Go this journalist.

SouthWestmom · 25/05/2020 16:57

Thanks Saucery. I'm not sure there was one though.

It talks about exceptional circumstances with small children.

Does it? It doesn't does it?

AlovelybitofsquirrelJackie · 25/05/2020 16:57

None of his usual childcare was available? I bet he furloughed the nanny and is claiming 80% of their wages from the govt

vera99 · 25/05/2020 16:57

He doesn't really appear to be a strategic mastermind, does he?

Nquartz · 25/05/2020 16:57

Beth needs to stop when she's asked a question, she keeps talking & it loses the impact somewhat

effingterrified · 25/05/2020 16:57

Fucks sake. No fucking apology.

LazyDaisy22 · 25/05/2020 16:57

Great questioning from Beth!

onemorecupofcoffeefortheroad · 25/05/2020 16:58

The questions are a bit rubbish. I'd like to know why members of the government are still working together in Downing Street. Why aren't they all doing zoom calls like everyone else.

Cailleach1 · 25/05/2020 16:58

Maybe he had another script prepared ages ago and the dog ate it. They must have been unsure if there was evidence to out their BC outing. They decided they couldn't deny that.

wowfudge · 25/05/2020 16:58

You're not telling me he drove from London to Durham without a stop when there was a four year old in the car. He's not sorry and is avoiding saying so.

janet1267 · 25/05/2020 16:58

She's good.

Laura should be ashamed. Very weak.

Roussette · 25/05/2020 16:59

The reason he didn't tell Boris what he was doing, is because he can do what he wants.

Belindabelle · 25/05/2020 16:59

They definitely have info on the wife. Her parents live 1.5 hours from Durham.

GrimmsFairytales · 25/05/2020 16:59

What reports weren't true?

You drove there
Went to BC
Went to bluebell woods

now we can also add
Driving to test eye sight

A hospital trip for you son, accompanied by your wife who you thought had Covid

Then you drove to collect them from hospital, when you couldn't even stand the night before.
