So what’s your problem with Boris missing them?
It's no problem due to how the gov actually works especially this one. Cobras are being run by the minister who is the front man for what ever department is being discussed. Having Boris there makes no real difference. The information presented and the conclusions would just be the same. The PM's job is to summarise and get agreement. This lot have stated that they all work cohesively. Also that they want him back as he is very good at talking.
