I almost didn't watch tonight, although they almost answered a few of the questions tonight. There's certainly not going to be an apology or acceptance that a better decision could have been made. One question that was ignored would have been interesting to hear an answer: which businesses will have the most effect when they come back after the lockdown? This will be cost benefits of furlough plus new tax revenue, but also those that will provide social benefits for people to suppress future mental health needs.Does anybody see the point in these daily briefings anymore?
I'd change it to weekly. The same repetitive questions are been asked by the same journalists and avoided by different members of government every evening.
A short bulletin accessible by media regarding figures and updates etc posted every day would be more than sufficient.
The major need for it is, I'd say, because there is no Parliament to hold the government to account although that will soon change. I am impressed by the Scottish presentation as it's informative and interesting, so it could be done better.
