I know some have mixed feelings on the worth of the briefings but does any other European leader do as few of them as Johnson? I think he's done two since he returned to office. Plus one desk banging pre-recorded statement, one statement to the Commons and PMQs which he's obliged to do, being the PM and all.
I believe Sturgeon does hers every day.
Over the pond, of course Trump causes chaos and hilarity when he blunders in but he is there most days.
I'm finding it quite interesting the people who aren't speaking. In addition to the pm, the home fucking secretary has done one. gove has done very few. rees-mogg is being kept quiet (though obvs he's not in the cabinet). Liz Truss is also being hidden away.
Yet who do we get? Alok Sharma? Michael Green, I mean Grant Shapps (a proven liar), Jenrick, who despite having a brief for communities and local government travels between his various homes during lockdown.
I also like watching the scientists, especially when they blatantly contradict the politician there, like they have done frequently with comments about international comparisons.
Raab is just a car crash every time though. He looks like a competition winner.
