The BBC have said it's starting on thursday and non-essential shops will be forced to close, while schools and universities remain open. I'm not sure there's much point in him showing up now, he may as well stay in his maid costume and continue serving Cummings' tea, which is what I assume he does for most of the day.

It was already delayed once from 4 till 5.
Is it too much to hope that it's because the entire Tory party has spontaneously combust?

If he can't do a press conference on time, what hope is there for him?

So they postponed twice and turned up 20 minutes late on the third attempt to show us some barely legible graphs and confirm what the news had been reporting all day because...?

Yep, very sloppy and clearly last minute presentation.

I also do wonder about how informative all of the graphs they show actually are to the general public. I'm a scientist, so I am used to reading/interpreting graphs like that all the time, but are most people watching able to digest them?
