Well you can't say they don't listen to you.
Whitty would be be better. It's been clear from the previous press conferences that Johnson has no idea what he's talking about and fields any questions that aren't extremely simple to him.

Oh I completely agree it should not be Johnson. A non politician briefer would take the politics out of it and as you say be able to answer questions. Actually you are right, probably should be Witty or someone of equal calibre so questions can be answered. Johnson will only turn up for the first couple anyway and he only works a 4 day week so cant do 3 days.
(Again though as a knee jerk reaction this is an example of lack of top tier comms planning. Of course the details of a "ROSIE" or similar dont need to be shared).

As if by magic....would be better if not Johnson though.
