Public confidence urgently needs to be restored, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Boris Johnson is to hold a daily press conference on coronavirus. If ever an accident was waiting to happen, this is it. Downing Street hopes to put a stop to days of scientists and ministers falling out over how the crisis should be handled. Good luck with that.

At least he kept saying they're trying to flatten the curve 😂

Oh you do hate Boris don’t you. How sick!

But they are more likely to make things better, a thought that the leftwing extremists simply can't bear the thought of.

I bet Johnson is AWOL tomorrow,press conference raised more questions than answered,we Thought we were ahead of other countries,very obviously not.

This is your leader, this is your leader. Can all the populist go down the Post Office and pick-up your tin helmets, I.

I thought I was listening to Trump. BJ didn't know what he was talking about during his press conference.

Johnson et Trump sont les deux être les plus cons de la terre cela est vrai mais ils sont peut être aussi responsable du coronavirus et sa manipulation....

Some people chose not to listen Most people got it

No, it's been very simple to understand and clear, no mixed messages. Just those, like all of the writers at the Guardian, trying to confuse the public but muddying the water for their own political gain. What is wrong with you people? YOU are sowing doubt and confusion.

Haha make your minds up lefty muppets

Fake news

Oh look you have a Trump of your own.

If your for football go to Lewiston if you are for the kids stay in kennebec county if you are for pot go to Oxford county but since the government can’t manage one let alone three they treat the innocent as a criminal and the criminals as innocent...

That gesture is a real HostageToFortune.

He saw each life just as a series of cold Numbers. That's what he done. But we all know and we should tell them: People's lives come first! The economy and the officials' 'achievements' second!

Few ideas...but very confused

Is BorisJohnson pledging allegiance to the nazis or acknowledging he knows the earth is pretty flat?

Both these two look extremely untrustworthy

The leftists are using the virus 🦠 as political activism in the new and their fake “experts “ with left leaning bias about everything. I will hold this leftists activism responsible for any extra deaths. People just need to listen to government instructions on how to deal.

It may be true that for many this may be a mild illness, but we need proof. You get proof by extensive testing. Identify those with mild illness and full recovery. They should be a lot more than those reporting to 111. Get the facts, construct policy. Get testing

Said the Lefty bias shit stirring Guardian.

No its not

Boris powiedz co Ty robisz? 🤒🧲🎯

He can't do right for doing wrong, can he? Moaned at if he does press conferences and moaned at if he doesn't!

Better Corona then Boris! Take care Brexiteers!

Johnson's government will be brought down by a microscopic biological agent and his own boundless hubris, utter recklessness and sheer ineptitude.

It’s utter chaos in schools. Kids going home with symptoms are being sent back 2 days later, multiple teachers down causing safeguarding issues etc...

They’re all on the same page in showing they’re incompetent.

Johnson is an inept moron. I feel bad for the Brits.

Bob Geldof where are you , shout

Disgusting choice of photo, you know exactly what you did there, it's offensive beyond belief.

Immagine if he got frozen in that position. He would resamble someone uncle Winston defeated years ago.

DHSCgovuk figures delayed until after press conference ?

He must be taking lessons from TrumpSlump or maybe its the other way around. These bozos deserve each other. 🤒🇬🇧🇺🇸

There's something about men with bad haircuts that make them bad leaders.

I thought you Brits were intelligent. How on earth did you elect that buffoon?!

CloseTheSchoolsNow

Yeah let's gett corbyn in there. He will save us all.

Hmmm, kind of sounds exactly like the U.S. we getting mixed messages from the idiots at the top too.

Trump and Boris need to get out of the way
