Today's line up on the main stage, at around 5p.m.

Lead vocals: Matt Hancock
Backing vocals: Susan Hopkins (Track and Trace)
Steve Powis (Medical Director NHS England)
Focus on the vaccine roll out.

Matt will no doubt be breaking every sinew, at this unprecedented time.
He will praise track and trace (yes, I know).
And look straight at the camera, telling us with his sincere face on, to STAY AT HOME.

Enjoy!

@HeronLanyon

raab is a cold hard bastard. Seems to be dim also I’ve always thought. Even more than some of the others. If that’s what you go for rosieGrin
Yes he does seem to be dim doesn't he?

@the80sweregreat

They are all loathsome. I'm not that keen on Sir Kier Starmer either to be fair, but many male Conservative MPs I would walk across hot coals to avoid. All the same , completely stuck up and mostly loath the poor yet people love voting them in so they must be doing something right.
Hang on a sec - Sir Kier I could quite imagine a night of passion with, he has that nice sense of authority I quite like.
MorrisZapp · 18/01/2021 16:35

Raab is hot af. It is what it is.

TheCap · 18/01/2021 16:35

@MaddieElla

Raab would score 100% in the bedroom and then ask you really nicely if there was anything else he could help you with.

I'm with Rosie. The heart wants what it wants.

Raab definitely looks like he knows what he’s doing between the sheets. It’s all that pent up bastard energy
TheExtraGuineaPig · 18/01/2021 16:43

Oh good god NO. Raab is my local MP and he's truly loathsome. Evil but not in an evil genius way as he's a bit dim. I think you're all confusing him with Rik Mayall as Alan B"stard. Somehow some charisma has been attributed to Raab.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 18/01/2021 16:49

Do the Raab lovers also fancy a bit of David Coulthard? Wondering if its the 'Alpha Chin' thats detracting from the rampent nationalism and incompetence?

Lottapianos · 18/01/2021 16:49

There was a flirty moment between Raab and Kay Burley ages ago. She finished her interview with him by saying something like 'oh and sorry for shouting at you outside Downing Street the other day' and he said 'oh you can shout at me any time'. Glints and twinkles all round. You Raab fanciers would have loved it Grin

And I had him down as the dominant in the relationship 😆

That pink tie will be walking off the podium it’s self after the press conference Envy

CrunchyCarrot · 18/01/2021 17:07

Actually Matt Hancock, when he smiles, has very cute dimples. Grin

the80sweregreat · 18/01/2021 17:09

His tie looks fairly clean.
He looks a bit peaky though. All that rugby playing in the park on the weekend.
The over 70s are up next for a jab.
I like little Sophie on sky news : Matt Hancock always looks chipper when she is in the interview seat. Dh said ' can you blame him though?' She isn't as abrasive as some of the others.

CrunchyCarrot · 18/01/2021 17:09

"Thank you for watching so far" ?!? He nearly fluffed his lines entirely. Grin

Treaclepie19 · 18/01/2021 17:11

You lot have had too much to drink 😂
Raab? Hancock? 🤢

beachdays123 · 18/01/2021 17:11

Matt Hancock seems even more vacant than usual today!

tootyfruitypickle · 18/01/2021 17:12

How can you think about Raab when there is Whitty?

the80sweregreat · 18/01/2021 17:13

I always think of that Charlie Brooker spoof show where he described Matt Hancock as ' looking like your older sisters first boyfriend!

the80sweregreat · 18/01/2021 17:14

Who is the lady ?

ancientgran · 18/01/2021 17:15

Watching with GS who always refers to Matt Hancock and "Little Matty Hancock." I can't quite see him as a responsible adult now as "Little Matty Hancock." is now firmly stuck as a character.

AmyFl · 18/01/2021 17:15

She is from Public Health England.

tootyfruitypickle · 18/01/2021 17:16

Pym has hit the nail on the head there

SophieB100 · 18/01/2021 17:16

Susan Hopkins - lead on Track and Trace @the80sweregreat

These Tory cabinet ministers have such smooth skin. They must get a job lot of skin products for free. Like the celebs do.

@SophieB100

Susan Hopkins - lead on Track and Trace *@the80sweregreat*
