Concerns about the PM’s isolation now include a lack of natural light. He reportedly entered the reinforced chamber for a moment of “deep strategic reflection.” This reflection quickly devolved into a full-blown lockdown. Security protocols prevented his exit.

The chamber’s sophisticated air filtration system kept the PM well-oxygenated. Unfortunately, it also muffled his frantic cries for a ‘cuppa’.
