Who’s doing it today?

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 15:39

Not sure we know yet - place your bets!
Jenrivk? Patel? Williamson?

Obviously it won't be Johnson

Rumour has it that its none other than..

Robert Jenrick

Y'know, the one who travelled 150 miles from his London property, where he stayed at the start of the lockdown, to his Herefordshire home.

Oh the irony!

Danglingmod · 24/05/2020 15:45

And may or may not have been to his third residence in his constituency of Newark, Nottinghamshire.

Patel wasn't willing to do more than a retweet on what someone else had said yesterday, before the Mirror and the Guardian released part 2.

She will not get out of bed to ďo this briefing for less than begging.

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 15:51

True and she did Fridays.

Robert J is a good guess. I’m going the culture secretary Oliver Dowden.

PotholeParadise · 24/05/2020 15:54

In fact, Priti must have spent yesterday alternating between congratulating herself that she didn't cave to pressure and comment in her own words and kicking herself that she retweeted at all.

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 16:02

Johnson is doing it Shock
I thought he was a bit like the gruffalo

The Conservative party cabinet must have discovered the power of collective bargaining and formed an impromptu union.

Boris! On TV! On a Sunday!

PurpleDaisies · 24/05/2020 16:05

No way!!!!

ineedaholidaynow · 24/05/2020 16:10

Boris!!

Sconio123 · 24/05/2020 16:28

Johnson eh? Blimey!

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 16:31

Boris will wriggle out of it no doubt.
Hoping people are out and about and won't be tuning in...

ineedaholidaynow · 24/05/2020 16:39

We will probably not understand his waffle!

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 16:40

If anyone has forgotten just who he is, he's the prime minister. Messy hair. Waffles a lot. You'll probably remember when you see him.

I always feel for the bsl interpreter trying to make sense of Boris’ train of thought, with its knights move thinking, random statements in foreign languages and bizarre use of metaphor.

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 16:43

Oh aye he suis un berliner

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 17:04

Oh bloody hell
"about to be incapacitated"
"no alternatives"
FFFFFFS

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 17:05

Oh wow. I didn't think he'd come down this strongly. I think he's about to nominate him for a knighthood.

You heard it here from Johnson. Cummings followed his parental instincts, and if you did not do the same, you're lacking as a parent compared to Cummings. Hmm

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 17:07

Right in off to see my parents very soon, and the in laws if they want. Clearly we have to use our common sense.

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 17:08

Early years was never mentioned before was it

No more than I expected. Johnson can't survive without Cummings so...if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it etc etc...
