Boris Johnson will become the first prime minister in history to conduct his weekly question-and-answer session with MPs via video link later, as he continues to self-isolate.

He is working from 10 Downing Street after coming into contact with fellow Conservative MP Lee Anderson, who later tested positive for coronavirus.

The PM decided to take questions rather than have deputy Dominic Raab fill in.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer will be in the Commons chamber as usual.

Up to 50 MPs are currently allowed in at any one time, with remote contributors using Zoom to ask questions and respond to ministerial statements.

I'm surprised he is doing this via a link.
However of course it's right to do so.

Also, after all he's only isolating, he's not it seems ill so there's really no reason he shouldn't do the questioning.
Which isn't REALLY questioning at all, as rarely does he answer anything.

However, with the situation of so many of his MPs having to now isolate, the change of advisors with the really sad news of more rising death numbers to covid now.

With all the uncertainty around what happens after we reach 2nd December and lockdown reviewed.
( That's only 2 weeks away).

In light of only those issues, never mind all others, a PM seemingly fit but having to isolate from likely carelessness, then he SHOULD be doing this PMQ's.
Out of simple duty, because it's his job!!

So no praise from me to him for actually doing it.
REALLY he had no other choice.

What would be good to see, is him actually deal with and answer the questions put to him, rather than treating it as a platform to spout out on anything.
He's there to answer questions only.
Not ask them nor head off in other directions of speech making.
