Daily press briefings about the Covid-19 pandemic ended on the 24 June – but Boris Johnson is hosting “another episode of the PeoplesPMQs”.
On social media, he asked that people send him questions to answer on air. But it didn’t exactly go the way that he expected...
People weren’t really in the mood to ask him vague questions about what’s currently happening in the UK.
Some took him to task for the way that he had handled the pandemic.

The form to ask questions was closed less than 3 hours later, according to a tweet from 10 Downing Street’s Twitter. Boris Johnson is hosting the “People’s PMQs” later today, on various social media platforms – although people probably won’t be able to ask questions live.
