Departing Prime Minister Boris Johnson may be fond of skipping COBRA meetings - but he rarely misses Prime Minister’s Questions.
Mr Johnson has faced criticism over his non-attendance at numerous meetings of the emergency council - formed to organise the government’s response to a major crisis - which are named after Cabinet Office Briefing Room A (COBRA), where they are normally held.
He reportedly missed five COBRA meetings in the buildup to the Covid-19 pandemic, and was criticised last month for missing two COBRA meetings on the heatwave - including skipping one to take a joyride in an RAF Tornado.
