Press conference this evening

[bathsh3ba]

Do we think this will be a vaccine update, a change to rules or just waffle?

Logistics can be done without any military types at a podium.

For a Brigadier, he looks and sounds very like an accountant ...

@RafaIsTheKingOfClay

arrows & quivers now. Hope nobody's drinking to war/fighting references.

I'm fuc!ing pissed already

it's show & tell now.

I agree about the military staying out of politics. A video could have shown what is now being demonstrated.

The lack of support for the military by Tony Blair (for equipment) and Gordon Brown (by appointing non-entities to the Defence Secretary) brought them into the political arena.

Can't wait til the virus is "back in its box" and we don't have to listen to this crap anymore

Can we put Boris back in his bloody box as well?

What is that weird thing he does wiht his mouth when he says " to".

so he has an ear cleaner, a pregnancy test and tampon applicator

I bet John Crace can't believe his luck.

Arrows in our epidemiological quiver

Notified of result by e mail or text. Can see a problem here for the older population.

Agree jamieleecurtains. I am so looking forward to reading his next article

This is painful

It is sounding more and more Gilbert and Sullivan with the Royal Hussars and the signposting Fusileer whatever.

Apologies I am behind the times!

Doesn’t seem to be saying JVT at this one ?

Ban tam sounds upbeat for him

I like JVT but what is he thinking with that suit and tie

Do you think we’ll get any graphs?

I like Van Tam. After Cummings little jolly i remember him saying at a previous press conference that "the rules apply to everyone"

Whitty was all i dont get involved in politics.

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin

nah nah Don't get too overexcited over quite where we are

I love that he has to stand on a box.

He may be small, but he comes across as far more punchy, no-nonsense and effective than Fossey.
