What a Bloody Mess.
[Downing Street has scrapped plans to launch new White House-style press conferences after spending £2.6m on a venue to host them. The PM's media chief Allegra Stratton - who had been due to front the briefings - has confirmed the move to the BBC. She will instead become the spokeswoman for the COP26 climate summit. The government was criticised for the price tag of its new facilities at 9 Downing Street, which will now be used by the prime minister and officials.] [The briefings fronted by Ms Stratton had been due to start in October last year, but the government said they had been delayed because ministers were continuing to hold coronavirus briefings. Ms Stratton has been given the job of the government's spokeswoman for COP26 - a UN climate change conference due to take place in November in Glasgow, chaired by former business secretary Alok Sharma. She said: "I am delighted to be starting this new role. "The COP26 climate conference is a unique opportunity to deliver a cleaner, greener world and I'm looking forward to working with the prime minister and Alok Sharma to ensure it is a success."] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56818750 Last edited by arista; 21-04-2021 at 12:46 AM. |

Waste of money, and I didn’t like the idea anyway
Like Graem Souness said on MNF the British are proper people not Americans
