Sunak to make an announcement in Downing Street at 17.40

[Westfacing]

Beth Rigby of Sky News says they've been reliably informed it's not going to be about a General Election, so what will it be?

Gosh, no idea. Lockdown? 😂

The sooner the better so fingers crossed

Oh, not that. It's to address extremism.

I would really like a general election. Even just a little one.

Calling journalists for a dramatic outside No 10 announcement on a rainy Friday evening, it better be something big!

Apparently it's about "protecting our democracy".

And whenever I hear people talking about that, it tends to be an excuse to curtail some freedoms.

Wills and Kate: The Truth
*special guests Harry and Meg

😆. God, remember that feeling when there was a new announcement…

Which channel should we watch?

Lol

This one, right here on MN.

@Quizine LOL. Very true. This is where we get the good information.

I'm also watching BBC news just in case.

Hoping it's not to explain why Prince William missed that event the other day. The Mumsnet server would probably explode.

Maybe it’s about George Galloway??

or Lee Anderson’s more endearing traits

I can’t see anything about it online does anyone have a link please

Nah! It will be to tell us where Kate is…it will explain all..

Bet she has moved in with Rishi at his North Yorkshire mansion🤣

Unless we are about to go to war or have a general election it's a bit melodramatic to have a Downing Street announcement!

It's going to be a clampdown on protest. We have to vote these bastards out - maybe you don't protest, maybe you don't like protests, but democracies need protests.

NB, I am Jewish and I am not scared of Palestine protests and think they must be permitted, it is sufficient to arrest anyone engaging in threating or antisemitic behaviour. Because if it is a protest clampdown these bastards are going to claim they are doing it to protect people like me, which is bullshit.

Crossed post!

Resignation ? election ? Whereabouts of Kate ? Confirmation of whether William did have the squits ? 💩💩 🤷‍♀️

Oh I wish it was for a general election - I cannot wait

Maybe he's decided to fuck us all off and the family's going back to their lovely life in the US?

Extra points if he does a little hop and skip as he walks away like Cameron did post-Brexit vote.

🤣🤣🤣
