Immensely proud of our skipper, Ben Mee, tonight. Insisted unprompted, while walking off the pitch tonight, that he wanted to say something to the wider audience, and spoke for the whole club.

I’ve so much to thank the club for in my 15 years, and it’s been an absolute honour and privilege to be a part of an amazing era. And this guy… well, he’s just about as good as it gets. Up the Clarets!

I mean, if this is genuinely the new slogan, it says absolutely nothing. Stay alert: to what? Do I go out, should I stay in? Can I mingle? Can I see my mum if I’m ‘alert’? Control the virus. By staying alert? It’s invisible! Save Lives. Tell people to bloody stay at home then!

As a press officer, when you need someone to front up in a team and do tough interviews, your go-to is the captain. A reminder that Boris Johnson is the captain of the Government team.
