What do we think about this? It does all seem remarkably interesting timing....

I never knew that. Is Michael Gove not self-isolating?

@RoseAndRose

The MPs wife is in the shielding group, hope she is all OK

Poor thing. Have they made public why?

He is my MP, his wife has cystic fibrosis - I think has had a lung transplant?
BananaPop2020 · 15/11/2020 22:05

@nosswith not that I know of. Raab is my local MP 😐

Neither did I. Williamson? They wouldn't want to contaminate someone vaguely electable.

MrsAmaretto · 15/11/2020 22:06

Very odd timing. Perhaps he’s just upset his bestie from work has left and fancies some days off ? :)

Unescorted · 15/11/2020 22:07

Has anyone seen Hancock recently?

BananaPop2020 · 15/11/2020 22:08

They should wheel out Priti Patel, would be interesting to watch her and Kier duke it out.

The track and trace app will pick up very very quickly if you are in closer proximity than two meters

When you are co are you around people it’s easy to forget

Hence why in some work places you are told to switch it off (colleagues had forgotten and a number were off at the same time)

But being PM either at work he switched it off or he makes sure he is always two meters apart

Goodness poor Mrs Anderson, must be very scary if you have CF & a lung transplant and your husband is diagnosed with Covid. Hope she’s ok.

Unescorted · 15/11/2020 22:10

No they can't be that low to the barrel bottom

Mydogmylife · 15/11/2020 22:12

Interesting that so many are suspicious! My first thought was convenient timing

Cam77 · 15/11/2020 22:14

Honestly, Johnson has only ever been PM in name. Does anybody actually think on seeing him “oh look, there the British PM”? Never has a leader been so lacking in ability and gravitas. Theresa May at least had a sense of purpose - she was trying to achieve something. BJ is just a black hole.

BananaPop2020 · 15/11/2020 22:14

@Mydogmylife exactly, and that is just the sort of perception problem that he is going to struggle to overcome.

Hancock was on QT on Thursday

AlternativePerspective · 15/11/2020 22:17

Regardless of what people think of Boris, do people really think that now is the time for a leadership race?

if It’s anyone other than Patel, I’m going to be disappointed now.

Sadly, I think it might be Johnson but remotely.

Dear god Hmm
Just so long as he doesn't fancy himself as PM when Boris goes ...

Chloemol · 15/11/2020 22:19

He is still working, just following proper guidelines. Let’s move on shall we

Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/11/2020 22:20

do people really think that now is the time for a leadership race?

If Boris takes his ball home - which I'm fully expecting - they won't really have much choice

Impatiens · 15/11/2020 22:20

I'm so sick of being manipulated by these creeps. Bozo doesn't know what to do without his henchman so he's 'isolating'. ffs

BananaPop2020 · 15/11/2020 22:21

I seem to recall a piece of film with Hancock looking very letchy, possibly towards Sophy Ridge?

I think it will be Dominic Raab who put himself forward and gets backing

But won’t be yet

Boris doesn’t seem to have yet learnt how to use Zoom or Teams for meetings to avoid contact with others.
