No BBC special this afternoon - is there a press briefing?

[turkeyontheplate]

Just that really, I noticed there wasn't a BBC news special today and Boris did seem to be getting a bit bored with the whole daily press conference thing

Updates on the numbers at 2pm seem to have gone by the wayside as well.

Boris had probably lost the will to live after seeing some of the public carrying on as if everything's normal this weekend.

Equally, the public may have lost the will to live after seeing Boris's carrying on.

Apologies message on the screen says no Downing St briefing today due to COBRA meeting

So no update at all today now

Has everyone else now got the ‘Sons and Daughters, love and laughter, tears and sadness and happiness....” theme tune running through their head on a loo now?

Yes, Boris is speaking later

I so hope he announces a proper lockdown at 8pm from the morning.

That's what some other countries did

LOOP not LOO!!

"LOOP not LOO!!"

Says no update today due to COBR meeting on the BBC news screen.

I'm watching BBCnews screen - it said 'Boris Johnson to make statement later'

Imagining you sitting on the toilet singing sons and daughters now jumble

on a loo? your on a roll

Until Friday children were in school hugging and kissing each other and in very close social contact for entire days. On Sunday you are considered irresponsible if you take your child to a national trust park for a walk and they walk past some other people.

It's double standards. The government should have been clearer, firmer and quicker to act. Mixed messages get a mixed response, not everyone is watching the briefing everyday and checking the live feeds regularly.

I agree with this actually. This and the minimising that was done for the first seven weeks. If you hadn't made yourself aware, our government didn't go out of its way to make you aware. Look at the reactionary announcement on 12-week isolation of vulnerable people for instane. My dad still hasn't had any direct information. Luckily for us he listened to us last week and stopped work.

I just heard boris will be speaking at 8.30pm today

I heard 7pm for him tonight?

Did the bill get passed today?

8.30 tonight

Laura kuennsberg just said 8.30 on BBC news.

Bazinga!

Boris to address the nation at 8.30 after the COBRA meeting

8.30pm seems quite late, could they have passed the bill quickly this evening?

Meanwhile flights are still arriving thick and fast at Heathrow....
