Leaving the nation hanging around for his words of wisdom is not going to boost his popularity.

I think we know Boris wouldn't be there unless he really had to be. But it was nice of him to acknowledge that.

Not sure anyone told him the right tone was sombre and serious. He's in full on drama party mode. At least Chris Whitty has the decency to sound worried.

I'm getting massive feelings of deja vu

He looks quite chipper.

@PicsInRed

Anyone ever had to do the sober voice?
Yes, it's hard .. 😃 ( years ago though )
ApolloandDaphne · 31/10/2020 18:52

Those slides are terrible.

RishiMcRichface · 31/10/2020 18:53

Just get on with it Chris Whitty

@MadameBlobby He's gone Trick or Treating

Elzbells · 31/10/2020 18:54

Boring us to tears with the slides, instead of just getting to the point and telling us what we aren't allowed to do anymore.

SeasonallySnowyPeasant · 31/10/2020 18:54

The slides are bigger than what my TV can cope with so I can't see the ages.

lingle · 31/10/2020 18:54

Has anyone else never been able to cope with signing since this?

@ApolloandDaphne

Those slides are terrible.
Colourful though

That’s nice

Cheerful like

LadyLindaT · 31/10/2020 18:54

Not only are the slides terrible, but surely he could press a button himself, rather than keep saying "Next slide, please."?

@ApolloandDaphne

Those slides are terrible.
They really are. This seems quite pointless really.
WhiteChocTwix · 31/10/2020 18:54

I feel for Whitters, bet he could do with a beer about now.

SandyDays · 31/10/2020 18:54

@Pertella

Would be better if the slides fit on the screen properly 🤔
I thought it was my TV, I've just been messing around with the settings!
monkeypuzzeltree · 31/10/2020 18:55

Excellent slides no one can read. I see we are still using Excel heavily

secretskillrelationships · 31/10/2020 18:55

I'm not watching, can't face it, so relying on you lot to give me the highlights. I'm guessing it'll be like last time, no detail and constantly changing.

the80sweregreat · 31/10/2020 18:55

Colourful charts.

RishiMcRichface · 31/10/2020 18:56

Still with the slides no wonder they came out so late.

ScienceSensibility · 31/10/2020 18:56

Could anyone actually read the names of the hospitals on the left of that slide? They might as well have been written in Swahili for all the fucking use they are.

housemdwaswrong · 31/10/2020 18:56

@secretskillrelationships the updating is much more efficient here than on BBC website.

Justmuddlingalong · 31/10/2020 18:56

It's like being starving at a wedding and having to sit through the speeches before getting fed. Could he not tell us what was happening and then explain with the slides to back up his decision.

Bluewavescrashing · 31/10/2020 18:57

Well I'm in Nandos now necking my wine so please keep me updated, folks!

Anyone else think that Whitty sounds quite shaken?
