Fingers crossed the clown will leave the tent.

FourTeaFallOut · 31/01/2022 12:19

No, he just mumble some arse covering shite.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 31/01/2022 12:19

Its to so with vaccines for NHS staff I think

Aposterhasnoname · 31/01/2022 12:20

No, it’ll just be his comments on the report.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/01/2022 12:20

I hope not. Don't get me wrong I'm no friend or voter of Boris Johnson, but Who will replace him.

luckylavender · 31/01/2022 12:21

It's Sue Gray report announcement

ClawedButler · 31/01/2022 12:21

Thing is, once that self-serving arse buggers off, another of those hideous bastards will just step into the gap. Same utter contempt for the public, just a different mask.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 31/01/2022 12:23

I'm assuming it relates to the redacted Partygate document.
He'll confirm that it was nothing to do with him, he's sacking a few naughty civil servants, and he'll tell us all how fucking marvellous he really is.

MissyB1 · 31/01/2022 12:23

Probably saying they’ve cancelled the vaccine mandate for NHS staff.

itwasntaparty · 31/01/2022 12:25

The report that's redacted most of what's in it?

Wreath21 · 31/01/2022 12:26

Maybe they've found another variant so he wants people to 'think about' everything they do and whether it's essential or not. Again.
IE he wants people to be distracted from whatever fuckery his government are up to now, and the most effective way is to frighten them about Covid without giving either clear directions or any financial support, so they can all turn on each other. Again.

marqueses · 31/01/2022 12:27

Of course he's not going to resign, is that being reported somewhere?

lurkingfromhome · 31/01/2022 12:27

Of course he won't. If you've watched the news at all in the last two years it's painfully obvious he won't resign, ever. It'll just be some shite about the report, or what's left of it.

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 31/01/2022 12:28

As per BBC live news coverage

G
PM to give statement this afternoon
Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make a statement about Sue Gray's report in parliament at 15:30 GMT, the House of Commons has announced.
As we've been reporting, Johnson has been handed Gray's initial report into parties held in Downing Street when Covid restrictions were in place.

God I hope so I am terrified at the thought of someone worse coming in
Arbeity · 31/01/2022 12:29

If he was going to resign, it wouldn't be announced at 3.30pm

SickAndTiredAgain · 31/01/2022 12:31

It’s just some nonsense on Sue Gray’s update, which apparently isn’t the full report and only looks at the culture in Downing Street and not the parties.

reesewithoutaspoon · 31/01/2022 12:32

NHS vaccine mandate I reckon. They can't afford to lose 70k staff

reesewithoutaspoon · 31/01/2022 12:33

Oh ok maybe not just saw halfsheunks post

Thedogshow · 31/01/2022 12:34

I actually hope he doesn’t resign. He’s a horrific hypocrite and probably a terrible person but the others are even worse.

Viviennemary · 31/01/2022 12:35

He's going. Not before time.

Lampshading · 31/01/2022 12:35

It'll be some half arsed 'apology'.

GirlInACountrySong · 31/01/2022 12:36

report first.....if damning/worse for him then he may resign at the end off the back of it

but doubt it

doesn't he have to visit the queen to resign? or in these covid times perhaps its via zoom

SirChenjins · 31/01/2022 12:37

Whatever it is it will be incoherent.
