This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Allow the public to ask questions during daily coronavirus briefings.
Allow members of the public to ask questions instead of the UK media.
More details
The UK media is a disgrace sensationalising and asking ridiculous questions of the government and its advisors. The UK media does not have the public's best interest at heart, journalists are motivated only by extending their time in the spotlight and increasing viewing figures and or sales of papers.
