The government has said throughout this crisis that ministers are being guided by the latest science.Dominic Raab chaired that meeting this morning and will continue to do so while the PM is in hospital.But what Boris Johnson has done is told his foreign secretary to make the big decisions while he can't.
That is likely to involve taking responsibility on matters like security and foreign affairs, and, as foreign secretary, Mr Raab has experience on this front. But Mr Raab, if necessary, will have to make big calls about the government's reaction to this crisis.Tory MPs I've been speaking to in the last hour are in a state of shock, while cabinet ministers were briefed this evening on a conference call.Article share tools
Has been or is being? Surely BBC News should get things grammatically correct!
I wish our Prime Minister, Boris a speedy and full recovery.
This world is such a mess at the moment and still people preach hate, bigotry, and pure unpleasantness. It is very sad that people still can't find kindness and empathy within during such sad times when millions are going through such trauma and grief.
night Well that's made life complete tonight. It's hardly pressing Queenie keeps up with anything in her splendid isolation 😡
Quite unbelievable amount of ignoramus disrespecting her Majesty!
night I love my Queen...I'm poor but I love her. And I hope BJ makes a full recovery. Stop the bitterness and hate....it will consume you.

All the people stand together to beat COVID-19!
No! Really? 🙄
BBC: Can you, er, ask Norman er, Smith what the difference is between, er, 'Sortov waiting' and waiting?! And 'Sortov the main scientist' and the main scientist? His endless, sortovs, kindovs and ums and ars, is unprofessional waffle! You know, er, what I mean, basically?Grrrr!
Without wanting to burst the sudden affection for Boris - I’d love to know why Raab repeatedly lied to the bbc and other journalist at the daily briefing. Still reading his red boxes my arse.
Cannot help thinking that the PPE used by a media crew could've been better used by the ICU staff. Technology could've been used for the report. We should be wishing everyone to get through this not bringing petty hatreds to the crisis. Also, stay safe all key workers 👍
Why?
He is the right person to get us through this please breath and stay strong Boris 🤗❤️
night I'm praying Rosaries here too, Your Majesty...
Let's hope for once we are also. No more lies please Conservatives DominicRaab michaelgove MattHancock GetWellBoris
She has Amadeus hair.
Get well BorisJohnson; China will have to answer soon for this pandemic.
I'm praying for Boris's recovery, but how on earth did Russia know before members of his cabinet?
Can we just take a minute to raise a hat to Fergus Walsh and his camera team for their extraordianry report from intensive care tonight...and even more importantly thank the brilliant professionals working in our NHS under hellish conditions. NHSThankYou
Encouraging words
Calling the purchasing of ventilators 'Operation last gasp' seems silly now isn't? 'If some pensioners die so be it' Statements from the PMs office. Sometimes we make these statements thinking only other people will be affected not knowing all of us are in danger. BorisJohnson
BBCPolitics We pray that he recovers well and soon.
FFS she could have changed her dress and 42 diamond brooch. lockdowneffect
If, theoretically speaking, Boris bits the dust, will the next Prime Minister be shaking hand with the Queen or will they do elbow bumps or it will be done virtually through Zoom or other teleconferencing app?
BBCPolitics Of course she is. She’s the head of state.
My prays to all!!!!
BBCPolitics Well you know what? I hope she’s getting the truth because at teatime today Raab was telling us that Johnson was ok and we were to believe that. 3 hours later we’re told he’s been really ill since Sunday and now in ICU and then we’re expected to believe that!!! Which is it?
Shouldn't that be Balmoral estate spokesman?
This is not news.
