They were lucky Hancock wasn’t straight out of the gates at 5pm on the dot or they would have missed the start
Also slightly odd in my eyes they referred to the briefing as a “Covid Presser” on the headline graphic, which to me is a media term rather than something that is usually public facing
You're right, that was an odd choice of headline strap.
I suspect the full headline menu will have been in the event that they needed to kill time (some Downing St events have been rather shabby) so better to have something to run with - even if it's then parked - rather than just awkwardly shuffling towards the 'presser'.
