Press conference today Monday 18th Jan

[SophieB100]

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!

Here we go! Pink tie - check Little badge - check

The NHS one, the carers badge he unveiled with great ceremony hasn't been seen on him since. Well I haven't seen it I will accept that he might wear it when I don't see him. Maybe on his pyjamas?

His probably got an NHS mug on his desk and a NHS key ring.

Ramping up....... vaccinimus maximus..... random other Latin.... distant bugle ..... world beating..... together .... amazing NHS...... roll out.....

The lady's hair is very two tone!

@Lottapianos

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

I would have loved to see that!

Yes identifying with carers is probably beneath him, probably thinks he's a brain surgeon.

He's wearing a badge today - can't see what one it is though.
Perhaps Boris gives them out - like Blue Peter badges?

@tootyfruitypickle

How can you think about Raab when there is Whitty?

Are you insane? Whitty looks like a sperm.

'Little Matty' has four children!
I bet they run rings around him.
Great British summer : yeah, because you can't go anywhere else!

Matt Hancock seems to be struggling more than usual when answering questions. It's not like he doesn't have prepared answers but he seems to be struggling to get the words out and is very stop start. It's not like him but it's making it hard to watch.......well, harder than usual to watch.

Pretty sure it is the NHS one, it has the rainbow colours and the carer one is green.

@the80sweregreat

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

What is this show of which you speak? I need to see it.

He's going to Cornwall for his summer holidays. Thank heavens I live in Devon.

To be fair, I bet his just exhausted , plus Boris tends to push him out on the media round up whenever things are not going that well.
He is struggling a bit today.
I know it's his job etc.

I thought he was getting emotional again and trying to calm himself. I’m listening on the radio though so can’t actually see him!

He's a bit robotic isn't he. Maybe they cloned him or something.

He is a bit lacklustre, but I think he's just exhausted.
And, (don't laugh) I really think he genuinely cares, and gets emotional about the figures etc.

During lockdown one ( when people took it seriously) Charlie Brooker did a spoof show about the virus on bbc two.
It might be on Netflix or I player?
It was amusing.

Matt Hancock is a bit (han)cocky in his delivery isn't he? Lots of "smash it.. don't blow it..."

@ancientgran

He's going to Cornwall for his summer holidays. Thank heavens I live in Devon.

The climate change meet up next year is going to be in Cornwall ( or might be this year?) Somewhere near St Ives.

Found it I think...Charlie Brooker's Antiviral Wipe?

@cathyandclare

Found it I think...Charlie Brooker's Antiviral Wipe?

Yes. There is another one doing the rounds but that's a round up of last year. Has more American news. Fairly amusing , but anti viral is better.

G7 cabris bay. June 11 for a few days. Just when Cornwall holiday accom with be heaving (hopefully) - not that they’ll go out of the estate I’m guessing.

Carbis Bay. Spell check really doesn’t like that !
