Interesting interview aired now by BBC News with Theresa May. She spoke like a Prime Minister! Explaining the functioning of the cabinet and thanking the health service for their huge efforts at this time.
She sounded rather more authoritative than anyone else in the cabinet currently.
I agree. There was much criticism of Theresa May following the Grenville Tower disaster. She spoke with the fire service and the other emergency services and
not
with those affected. As stated at the time, she wanted to be sure that they had the resources that they required to get the job done. With hindsight, that’s an admirable quality for a Prime Minister - to put emotion to one side and think logically. To think practically.
It would be nice to have somebody with more experience and a little more emotional detachment (less gung-ho) at the reins at this time.
And what was
the question
he asked..?
Mark Austin - "The PM has got the virus, the health secretary has had the virus and the chief medical officer has had the virus. The three people telling us how not to get the virus got the virus. How was that allowed to happen?"
The bit at the end about how it was allowed is simply crass beyond belief.
I’ve been waiting for this question to be asked. All three have said we should socially distance etc and yet they themselves
appear
to have failed to follow their own guidance. Given the actions of the CMO in Scotland and the Health Minster in New Zealand, it’s hardly surprising that a journalist asked the question.
Anyway... I hope everybody here is ok, following the guidance and staying safe.
