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

@Cam77

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.
Oh yes, this.

well hes not goingto miss the deadline its over 2 weeks soit cant be that

Unescorted · 15/11/2020 22:28

Raab cannot breathe unaided. Will people really forget that he did not know that Dover was a major import / export port and that there might be congestion post Brexit.

He also spat his dummy when people in the Westminster bubble started calling him Rab C Brexit ... shortly before R4 started pronouncing his name as Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab

He may not have it he is just isolating and there are situations in lots of peoples work places where it’s not possible to stay 2m apart. If you read the rules it says where possible. If it was easy we would not have thousands a day testing positive would we ?

What, the Dominic Raab who didn't realise the importance of the Dover - Calais trade route?

We'll be fineHmm

SabrinaThwaite · 15/11/2020 22:31

Obviously the rulez are for the little people.

We are being gaslighted and manipulated to within an inch of our lives. They are laughing at us. Big Time.

Unsure33 · 15/11/2020 22:31

What a lot of presumption on here. Talk about jumping to conclusions.

ItsAlwaysSunnyOnMN · 15/11/2020 22:31

Yes people will forget ...

They always do when it is convenient

No, but he could easily swing it so he misses some of the infighting leading up to it - and when folk don't like whatever's decided he can claim "Wasn't meeeee"

Justgivemewine · 15/11/2020 22:32

Well Rishi Sunak has apparently stated he won’t be in the running for the PM position, so we all know what that means 🤔🤔

Unescorted · 15/11/2020 22:33

There is only one presumption - that Boris is taking a ball and pissing off. The rest is speculation about who is stupid enough to pick up a chalice and run with it to 2nd Jan 2021/

SabrinaThwaite · 15/11/2020 22:34

I’m missing something here aren’t I?

Hands ... ? ... space?

“What a lot of presumption on here. Talk about jumping to conclusions.”

Exactly

DontBeShelfish · 15/11/2020 22:37

Maybe Cummings has rigged the app so it sends self-isolate alerts to people he doesn't like?

SoupDragon · 15/11/2020 22:47

So, Boris has been in contact with someone as part of his job, that person has tested positive for Covid and Boris is self isolating as required and somehow he is still on the wrong...?

Stopthebloodynotifications · 15/11/2020 22:48

⬆️ This .

Stopthebloodynotifications · 15/11/2020 22:49

About Dominic Cummings.

ThatWasThat · 15/11/2020 22:50

How is this possible? Isn't the PM is folllowing his own rules and therefore cannot have breached the rules of social distancing. Because if he followed the rules, he would not be identified as a close contact a colleague

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 15/11/2020 22:50

I hope he's ok.

There are an unknown number of children who need him

(sorry for garbled previous msg)

GrumblyMumblyisnotJumbly · 15/11/2020 22:52

Maybe Boris needs time to lose the black eyes Cain and Cummings gave him as parting gifts?

Self isolating in the fridge.

BananaPop2020 · 15/11/2020 22:53

@SoupDragon nobody has said he is wrong to SI according to app. We are, however, questioning how this has come about, and reflecting on the interesting timing.

Well if I had been in ICU with it & given the uncertainty about secondary infection ( he must think it is a risk given the travel ban to and from Denmark after the mink mutation) - being in contact with someone who is less than convenient seems a long shot. Unless he is more daft than he makes out.

LilyPond2 · 15/11/2020 22:54

Anyone else wondering why this meeting had to be held in person rather than online? Surely No.10 has technology available to hold secure online meetings - or if it doesn't, that begs a load of other questions.
