But Whitty and Vallance (scientists) officiated at the news conference. What have I misunderstood?

They need to be there to make it a bit more grown up and believable.

Supported, rather than officiated, methinks…
Scientists/Advisers advise, Ministers direct.

Judging by the body language they're rather reluctant henchmen.

Im sure a percentage think they should becasue the media make such a fuss about it, and the [anti] social media warriors tell them they should.
They'll just move onto whatever they are told to care about next, no doubt with equal "outrage".

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
No doubt that if it was Labour that had the party/parties then I don't think we'd here the end of it on here.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
Labour wouldn't even consider having a Christmas party in case it offended someone

Not from me, I think everyone deserved a party last year (and this year).

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
Perhaps we need to change the thread title to "parties"…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59601447
Quote:
Downing Street's press chief addressed No 10 staff at a party last Christmas that is now under investigation, it is understood.
Jack Doyle, then deputy director of communications, gave a speech to 20-30 people at the gathering on 18 December.
A source told the BBC there were food, drinks and games at the event.
Downing Street said: "There is an ongoing review, and we won't be commenting further while that is the case".
This is one of three government staff events currently being investigated by the UK's top civil servant, Simon Case.
Mr Doyle, now Downing Street's director of communications, is understood to have also given out awards to the No 10 press team at the gathering.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
More potential bad news for Johnson, from the Telegraph.
Quote:
Boris Johnson’s standards adviser on brink of quitting over Downing Street flat
Boris Johnson's standards adviser was on the brink of quitting on Thursday night following accusations that the Prime Minister misled him over the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat.
The Telegraph understands Lord Geidt will consider his position if Mr Johnson does not satisfactorily explain why he did not share vital evidence with him when he investigated the affair earlier this year.
On Thursday, the Electoral Commission fined the Conservative Party £17,800 for breaking rules on reporting donations after its own investigation – which included the "missing" evidence – found Mr Johnson had asked a Tory donor to fund the makeover.
The potential resignation of Lord Geidt would put Mr Johnson's leadership under even greater pressure.
