This seems a touch odd – if PM is really in regular touch, and Raab really is in charge, shouldn't they have talked to each other in the last 24 hours ? https://t.co/j5bnc4rId2

The headline out of this press conference is going to be that Dominic Raab & Boris Johnson last spoke on Saturday. So, unless they are communicating in some other way that seems hard to square with government line about how the country is being run
