Just watched Boris Johnson's meeting/broadcast.
To me he still seems to be doing what he should; following the advice of his experts, not doggedly sticking to previous statements and leading well.
The press do show themselves to be exactly what they are; cockroaches and vultures desperately seeking to cause a reaction or comment with emotive and prejudicial language that they can then report with outrage. God knows what kind of society we have become that we want our journalists to behave in this way.
Though clearly that's a place where Corbyn is also comfortable to be. Clearly he will slip happily and easily back into the place he's lived for the last 30 years in sniping from the back without any need to deal with the real world.
Our journalists are almost as big a disgrace as the people that buy their stories and pictures. Most of our politicians are not far behind.
