Boris Johnson held his first daily coronavirus update -11 distraught responses

It didn't go well...

PM Boris Johnson gave his first daily coronavirus update to the nation, yesterday, and it seems that most people were not too happy with it, leaving more questions than answers. Do we go to the pub? Are they shut? Are they open but we are not allowed in?

He told the nation to social distance, but kept schools open. It was a complete mess and even the most ardent Johnson fans must have been left shaking their heads. These are a sample of some of the many Tweets following his briefing.

“So Boris said the British people could trust him to lead the country through this time of crisis and come out the other end stronger. What did Boris say, Roy?”

This is the most embarrassing press conference I've ever had the displeasure of watching.

Can we get a grown up in charge please? One that can string two words together. #BorisResign

— Sam Russell (@SatineCM) March 16, 2020

That press conference felt disastrous. What exactly is the message? Isolate, but we're not going to insist on it. Work from home, but schools are left open. Don't go out, but no info on helping business owners. We agree with WHO on testing, but unexplained discrepancy.

Just a question – does Boris Johnson have any business dealing with / shares in insurance companies? Asking for an entire arts industry…

— Matthew Amer (@MattAmer) March 16, 2020

Boris Johnson: Avoid all contact with other humans. Avoid clubs, pubs,
social gatherings, unnecessary travel and work from home.

Also Boris: We're keeping all schools, colleges and business open. It's still business as usual, you peasant bastards. #BorisResign

Johnson signs death warrant on the pub industry. If you tell ask our customers to stay away but don't instruct us to close we cannot claim on insurance but cannot pay our bills.

The stronger the question, the less you want Johnson to answer it. And yet there he is, wibbling about “all sorts of reasons” without naming one.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
