What exactly do you think he would do at this meeting that no one else can ?
In the unlikely event a decision (only he could make) was needed, he is perfectly contactable (much as I am, its called being on call).
JFYI, it will be the second Cobra meeting Cabinet Office minister Kit Malthouse Malthouse has led on the issue.

He's not meeting foreign dignitaries today, just a bit of a piss up for his mates, on public property, at public expense. No change there. Just when a National Emergency has been declared and he should be chairing the planning meeting.
