Why would you get in a car with your family to test your eyesight?

Somewhere north of Hadrians Wall obv. Xpost

take a shot every time he says reports in the media, you will die

just a casual 30 mile drive to test my eyesight no big deal

What’s the downside

kuenssberg and peston being hopelessly shown up by this beth character

Mumbling stuttering fuck.

She isn't even asking him questions really, just making him squirm

My boss was ill so there was no-one to ask ffs

Someone just ask him if he pissed in the car, fucks sake

Summary:

"I've been told I don't have to resign.

So, I'm not going to."

A truly dismal performance, I thought he was more resilient than this!

i drove myself today... to see if i still see

i understand if people think it was a mistake, just no acknowledgement of wrongdoing at all

sitting with his ankles wrapped around his chair legs is an odd choice

Gary Gibbon has actually asked a fucking question

Gary Gibbon is one of the better ones.

haha fs xp

Good god this man. The big bet here is that this gets friendly media back onside and plays to the "biased media putting this sweet family at risk" line. But you think *this* gets the Mail onside? Does it fuck

will be going to troon beach at the weekend lads and using the 'testing my eyesight' exception

So he isn’t going along with the autistic child bit? Disappointing

that was a pure fabrication

xp Troon is good, full support

I know it was but I don’t see why he wouldn’t go with it

lmao finally someone has told him he's at it

she didn’t have coronavirus symptoms so I chose to drive hundreds of miles? what

You can see why Laura K and Pesto went first.

Hearing "Walk in the Black Forest" playing in my head now.

the man from the Mail is telling us what tomorrow's going to look like

"they think we're mugs"

now this is rope-a-dope

So little Timmy managed to travel 240 miles to Durham without needing a piss but couldn't keep it in during the 30 mile trip to save Dom's eyesight?

Jesus I didn’t clock he was from the Mail! He must be delighted with these answers.

Yesss please continue getting testy

actually didn't think his statement was all that bad, some continuity issues and plot holes which mean it probably wouldn't have gotten out of any writers room... but taking questions has definitely been a mistake, has made him look more weaselly

When challenged over his decision not to speak to the prime minister before driving to Durham, he said he wanted to protect Boris Johnson’s time.

'the reason i didn't ask you if i could play the xbox is because i didn't want to bother you, daddy'

the statement would probably have done the job on Friday night, but he can't see himself as accountable

he should've stayed in durham. the advice was stay home, work remotely if you can. no reason why he could not have worked remotely for a week or two

he's been having weird visions tho.

"let's whizz down the road and see how we feel"

my vision was weird, i thought I should drive for half an hour

seems sensible, definitely not extremely dangerous

.. with a four year old child in the back seat.

Why didn't his wife drive the car back to London?

I've had a bottle of wine, not sure I'm fit to drive, let's test it out with a 30 mile drive

"If you think my eyesight's bad, oy!"

this last journo has murdered him lol

the safest thing to do was to drive hundreds of miles to put some teenagers’ lives at risk

Boris listened to this shite yesterday and still decided to stick by him?
