Let me explain, whilst the PM can chair a Cobra meeting it's not the norm, they're normally chaired by the relevant Cabinet Minister. There were Cobra meetings on 24th and 29th January and 5th, 12th and 18th February, all chaired by Health Secretary Matt Hancock. All perfectly normal procedure, all meetings where the PM was not scheduled to be there.

It's quite perverse to criticise Boris for not attending meetings he wasn't meant to be attending, but that's Lefties for you, never let the truth stand in the way of a good Tory bashing FAKE NEWS story.
For what it's worth Gordon Brown attended every COBRA meeting during the "Mad Cow" crisis. Anyway forget this bollox, let's discuss how the fu-cking Remainers now want to stop Brexit because of the COVID-19 outbreak?

That's why Boris ain't attending any COBRA meetings, he's focussed on us getting out of the dreadful EU bang on time.

He would go up an awful lot in my opinion if he just told the truth and said so!
