    Raab, a slippery answer for everything and when in doubt, just start repeating how wonderful all the people on the frontline are!

    I admit, I have watched quite a few of these briefings but this is my last one.
    Just sick to death of the parade of softball questions and the pat replies, the constant praise and "heartfelt" sympathy for the dead and NHS workers and the crocodile tears from whatever government minister is at the podium.
    Then it's back to the studio with whatever BBC stooge is in the chair that day, to just repeat what the government have said with no analysis or scepticism, but plenty of sympathy for the great "challenges" the government is facing as they "work hard" to deal with the crisis.

    Propaganda at its most obvious.
