Boris Johnson will wait another 3 days before holding his first 'emergency' meeting on the coronavirus crisis
Boris Johnson labeled a "part-time prime minister" after delaying holdin an "emergency" meeting on the coronavirus crisis until next week.
The UK prime minister, who has come under growing criticism in recent weeks for refusing to visit flood-hit areas across the country, will hold a so-called emergency Cobra meeting with senior ministers and health chiefs on Monday. "Just like his failure to visit communities hit by flooding, on Coronavirus Johnson seems like he'd rather bury his head in the sand than hear for himself what the experts are saying and what his Ministers are doing," Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said.
The prime minister has kept a low-profile since his victory in December's general election, making few public appearances and refusing almost all interviews.
