What a shit meme.
You have to be thick as **** to believe that headline.
This is a quote from Rachel Reeves taken from the Sky article:
"We're saying they mustn't rush this and if they are not going to a secure deal, we mustn't crash out without a deal, so that means taking the time that is necessary but it's up to government to show that they can deliver the promises that they have made to the British people... that is getting a good deal and a good deal by the end of this year.”

a) Am certainly not a right winger, never voted Tory in my life.
b) Rattled? Not really, more disappointed in the negative stance he seems to have adopted. Times like this demand unity and collective leadership from the boys/girls at the helm.
When he took office, he promised to help where needed over the desire to 'have a pop'.
Like all politicians, that pledge has soon evaporated.
As I said before, it is unlikely he will become PM as 9 years is a long time. Just wish he'd been a little more up front.

Not seen such Bravery!
Perhaps he could be invited to COBRA meetings ?
Oh wait, he can't because then he'd see first hand that Cummings is running the show.
Lol.

I think the plan was to have cross party input at some of these meetings I thought.
Probably unlikely now.

Johnson could hardly invite him to go along, when he didn’t go himself.

Were they to attend hand-in-hand then?
I thought Cummings was running the show. Just him and the medical bods would have been necessary.
What's the significance of the "9 years" you keep talking about?

What made you think that? Genuine question?
(Given that at no stage has any representative of the other parties being invited to join?)

There was talk, at some stage, of allowing all parties to have some sort of input. I remember it well. I shall dig it out if I can find it.
I recall it since I was thinking 'Good luck with that'.

According to my calcs (stand to be corrected) there are 4(?) more years left of this term and highly unlikely (% wise) to turn it around then so another 5 makes 9 (approx).

Now I know you're on another wind-up
And, as I'm sure you know, it's against all rules and regulations to have politicians or political advisors at any independent scientific meeting, so there shouldn't be anybody from any 'party' and, certainly in the case of SAGE, there hasn't been in over 20 years until Cummings went

That is a meeting, called by Johnson, including two senior scientists, specifically for other political leaders to tell him what they think sometime in the second week of April. Something entirely different to cross-party input at scientific meetings.

A briefing is not a consultation, meanwhile that article quotes a professor criticising the herd immunity policy of Johnson (5th April).

The Tories won a 65 seat majority in 1992, and look what happened in 1997.
A week is a long time in politics, let alone four and a half years.

Different to what?
They were invited to a meeting.
Go and find a dictionary and read the definition of briefing.
