He also observes that the Scottish Covid briefing has become so party political In favour of SNP he’s surprised someone from one of the other parties hasn’t complained

He made a great point I don’t think anyone else with their biased leanings have made - EVERYONE has got their own ideas about what HMG should do, including not just the plebs but people of influence. What chance do HMG have of satisfying such diverse and entrenched views? He made the same point about the Scottish administration
There was a discussion yesterday on the good old BBC Radio about why people think wee Krankie is doing better than Johnson, when the evidence suggests that she isn't. The general opinion was that it was her style, which was on the whole serious, open honest about the issues being faced and generally explanatory, with no meaningless waffle, such as whackamole, world beating, it will be over by Christmas.

That might explain why the media are less critical, whereas every time Bj or one of his clueless Ministers says something its the reverse!
