The @BorisJohnson statement - nothing has changed. Lots of energy. Lots of platitude. No apology for mistakes in early days. Not one word about the social care sector so badly failed. Not one word about PPE or testing fiascos. Very little empathy for the dead and grieving. 1/3

Involving Oppostion properly - that will come as a shock as they have been shut out so far. As for claiming this has been a relative success - delusional. We are world leading in death from this virus. Media twaddling on about new tone. Nonsense. Same old same old. And no Qs 2/3

He looks fine though. So there can be no excuse for him not doing PMQs in Wednesday. Indeed if he believed in accountability to parliament he would offer a Commons statement today. 3/3
