Speculation on Social Media that Rishi Sunak has threatened to resign should a full lockdown take place which is what is causing the delay.

Poor Reeta could be on air for a while still... BBC speculating it may start in the next 15 minutes but just a guess.

Who's been saying that?

Probably the same individual AlexS was talking too about the Home Office taking the powers of the devolved nations away.

"Next slide please"

Have Downing Street never heard of wireless presenter control devices?


Wouldn't surprise me if it was actually various laptops with different Microsoft Paint files open rather than slides on a PowerPoint.

It doesn't surprise that Number 10 doesn't have up to date technology, the House of Commons doesn't even have decent wi-fi!

I've been telling people to turn over to Sky News. "I haven't got Sky" has been the excuse. Some serious branding issues considering Sky News is multi-platform.

The BBC's feed of the slides is zoomed in and cropped, Sky have a full-screen feed.

Sky have the individual graphics which are moved on by the director without relying on the Downing Street clicker-operator.

Turned out to be awkward timing for ITV - too late to carry it live but not early enough to report on it - and Peston slower to get to the point than Johnson.

Unless Boris is set to do a samba with Chris Whitty and they go straight into Strictly, then it might be a while...
