What PM had hoped would be a feelgood press conference overshadowed by relationship question
It had all been going so well. True, there hadn’t been as many questions at his Downing Street press conference on his new anti-virals taskforce as he had hoped, but Boris Johnson could live with that. After all, he’d rather expected most people to be more interested in the ongoing European Super League saga than an announcement of yet another taskforce. Especially one that sounded quite similar to the therapeutics taskforce which even he sometimes forgot existed.
But he hadn’t counted on Paul Waugh from HuffPost. Waugh had opened with a relatively straightforward question about the government’s climate change targets but had then totally blindsided him.
