And answer questions today. I wonder if he's doing the briefing today with Bozo?!

I wonder how this will go?!

Who has decided he must speak to the nation?

Who has decided he must speak to the nation?
This. I am also very interested in finding out who will foot the bill for his time today? He works in an advisory capacity only. Is he using his bank holiday time to prepare for this personal issue or using the time paid for by the public? Is he ‘at work’ today or is this his personal time?

He did.

Bflatmajorsharp · 25/05/2020 15:38

"FFS Boris, I'll do it just like I do everything else around here.'

He doesn't live at No 10. He shouldn't be visiting, should he?

It's indefensible. But it would have been understandable.... but for the total woeful lack of apology or acknowledgement that it was wrong.

We will forward me out who really runs the show Confused

spotlighton · 25/05/2020 16:01

I guess he's going to tell us off for interfering in his life...and it's not of our fucking business.
Then back to work.
Loved that footage on Twitter of him being heckled as he walked around London, hope that still continues!

Tom Harwood? Anyone just catch him on the BBC being interviewed?

Crying about the baying mob and ‘council culture’!!!

How fucking DARE he!! Council culture- fucking toff!!!

pinkrocker · 25/05/2020 16:11

@Blennyfish what did actually he say, I'm looking for his words about council culture

twinnywinny14 · 25/05/2020 16:11

I really don’t like what he has done but I don’t agree with the press hounding and abuse shouting isn’t he street- what happened to the ‘be kind’ message? @Blennyfish I’ve seen him on a few things recently and he is a very arrogant young man!!

BabcockPeggy · 25/05/2020 16:12

I suspect he was talking about cancel culture.

NotTerfNorCis · 25/05/2020 16:14

Where is he? Maybe he's having a panic attack.

Stellaris22 · 25/05/2020 16:15

He won't stand down and absolutely should not be using Downing Street.

He'll wheel out some excuses and use his son as an excuse, there are no lows these people won't sink to and to use autism as a political tool is despicable,

CalmConfident · 25/05/2020 16:15

Late!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 25/05/2020 16:15

Get on with it!!!!!!

Stellaris22 · 25/05/2020 16:16

Why announce a time and not stick to it, people are already angry!

pinkrocker · 25/05/2020 16:17

How disrespectful to be so late. Maybe he's gonna stand in the podium & talk about plans to dual the A1

The fact that this is running so late is giving me rage. Is he hoping everyone will get bored and switch off or just standing behind a curtain cackling at the thought of keeping the plebs waiting?

Isotope456 · 25/05/2020 16:18

Tom Harwood said "cancel culture" not "council culture".

CalmConfident · 25/05/2020 16:19

Trying to see what Durham police said first ?

Blennyfish · 25/05/2020 16:20

It was towards the end of the interview. He said something about how awful it was that DC was being hounded by people ‘a baying mob, this council culture’ etc - I’m sure that’s what it sounded like.

twinnywinny14 · 25/05/2020 16:20

Perhaps they are having to change their story! Twenty minutes late is terrible
