Who is working in the No 10 comms team
Call it a hunch/semi informed guess, but I doubt the issue is with the comms team. More a refusal to work with the comms team and wing it alone.

"We need to be getting this virus done"
Just awful words. Desperately looking around him to find someone to tell him the answer.

The incompetence is reaching truly staggering levels.
This morning, a junior minister on breakfast news couldn't answer whether those subject to new lockdown measures in the north east could meet in groups of 6 in a pub garden. She didn't know - which went down badly, but isn't that surprising given the new guidance is confusing and everyone knows this government is generally pretty incompetent.
However, with the PM set to give a speech at lunchtime, with questions from journalists, how in the world did Boris not know the answer now? Does anyone actually know what the answer is? They've had 4 hours to make sure he has a decent answer to a question that was 100% going to come up and he/they fucked it. What is going on? Who is working in the No 10 comms team. Does Boris have any ability to take on information, or did his team not brief him on this? Whichever is true, it is incredible.

I can't help but think they are going to get rid of him. He quite simply has zero ability for the job on any level - this was about as basic as it gets, and he fucked it.
