Here is a fun fact that my sound and lighting friends cottoned on to yesterday.Apparently, the blue background is a perfect match for the chromakey preset on most widely available video editing software
There is a clip going around with Boris Johnson with the muppets theme being played and the muppets behind him

MP shames Boris Johnson with sign language protest about him failing deaf peoplehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-56749095
Vicky Foxcroft made the powerful statement at PMQs after Downing Street spent £2.6m on a TV studio for press conferences - but still provided no sign language interpreter.
The Shadow Minister for Disabled People asked silently in British Sign Language: "Why - no - interpreter - in the room - briefings".
She added: "And if the Prime Minister doesn’t understand, imagine how those who rely on British Sign Language feel at his press briefings? £2.6 million spent on the new press room, yet still no interpreter. What message does he think this sends to disabled people?"
Mr Johnson, who appeared not to understand the question, spluttered: "I'm grateful to the honourable lady and grateful for the way she has set out her question. I will revert to her as soon as I can."
Critics have also suggested there is no wheelchair access to the stage.

It's wrong.
"There’s just one problem with this attack line: No. 10 does broadcast live signing for the deaf. In the two No. 10 briefings from the new studio, both were live-streamed on YouTube with sign language interpretation.The BBC also broadcast with a live-signing…"

Oh and before you try to discount the source I would ask that if you must splutter you do so over the content, and try to prove that what the link I enclose isn't true.

BTW the NHS always says it's struggling.
Keeping the public informed from the refurbished media briefing room might have had a hand in the NHS not being overwhelmed.
