Just to be clear, the question posed in the above poll was:

Do you think journalists have done a good job of holding the Government to account during the daily UK Covid-19 press briefings

I think most of us would agree that the press briefings are a waste of time. Both, from the perspective of the invited journalists holding the Government to account and to the spokespeople treating the country like adults.
