Default Downing Street has spent more than £2.6m on fitting New Media Room

[No 10 plans to start televised daily
press conferences,
like those held at the White House - to be fronted
by spokeswoman Allegra Stratton.
The Cabinet Office said the
spending "is in the public interest" as it
will "increase public accountability and transparency."

Labour said it reflected "Boris Johnson's warped priorities".]


No.9 Downing St.
I hope the Press can get in there
and take a seat separated

What a pile of bollocks.

If he wants his own little "Press Secretary" then ... Fine, but there are already plenty of facilities they could re-utilise rather than pissing away so much money. Heck, it could all be done on Zoom now.

Is this really in the public interest though? I can only speak for myself but I think that surely the money could’ve been better spent elsewhere?

Rather a lot of money for one room.
Allegra could get her backside over to parliament and have a little corner in the lobby, if it’s actually needed in the first place.
