@GrimmsFairytales forbidden by who? He's the fucking prime minister!

itsgettingweird · 27/05/2020 16:44

I missed it all. Zoom meeting for work at 4. I need a chat with my boss about timings Grin

I'm watching now and just heard him say he's been told not to announce any more targets?
Who banned him? He's the Pm!

Roussette · 27/05/2020 16:44

*charge

Exactly, makes you think doesn't it. Hmm

Roussette · 27/05/2020 16:44

Dom has banned him! Obviously!
He is his handler after all

SheldontheWonderSchlong · 27/05/2020 16:45

Forbidden by Dominic of course....the man in charge!

minou123 · 27/05/2020 16:45

Bold statement- he is insisting on 24hr deadline for test results.

And WTF- he is forbidden to announce when this target needs to be achieved?
I'm sorry, I thought he is PM, who has forbidden him?
His mummy?

Cailleach1 · 27/05/2020 16:45

He used to just repeat the same shtick, I believe.

TruthTwisters · 27/05/2020 16:45

Jeremy is enjoying this...no love lost between these two...

itsgettingweird · 27/05/2020 16:45

I get the feeling "I'm off to Nando's" is going to become the new "speak to the hand" Grin

1forsorrow · 27/05/2020 16:45

I'd need paying £30k to go to a dinner and listen to him.

furrypesto · 27/05/2020 16:45

I think Matt Hancock is doing the briefing

mrsspooky · 27/05/2020 16:46

This is all so weird, I think hes going to end up resigning.

DoveOfPiss · 27/05/2020 16:46

so now it's the care home ataff's fault that covid is spreading there Angry

AlovelybitofsquirrelJackie · 27/05/2020 16:47

I read somewhere that Johnson love the journey to becoming PM and will bask in the afterglow when he is no longer PM, it's the bit in between he's not interested in

Justyou · 27/05/2020 16:48

Yes I’m sure sky news said Matt Hancock

Cailleach1 · 27/05/2020 16:48

wow. evidence of brass neck getting you ahead. So far with the right performance. People happy to ignore his thug life side (Guppy et al).

1forsorrow · 27/05/2020 16:48

Yes briefing is 5.30, only half an hour today. I bet no one wanted to do it.

Can't see whose doing it today.

JackiFazaki · 27/05/2020 16:49

Clive Betts Labour
Pressing him on details re tracing.
"So we can blame you if everything goes wrong then PM?"

CarolynMartens · 27/05/2020 16:49

Sadly Roussette you need to read the Jeremy Vine piece about doing after-dinner speaking with BJ. His schtick used to go down a storm.

1forsorrow · 27/05/2020 16:49

I think they all bully Matt Hancock. Isn't it Dominic Raabs turn?

PurplePansy05 · 27/05/2020 16:49

If he thinks track & trace is going to be a success after this, he's in for a shock.

I certainly won't be downloading an app that puts my personal data at clear risk of misuse. Secondly, yesterday, I believe, additional privacy laws in respect of this app have been denied by this government in a move unanimously criticised by privacy lawyers.

Anyone downloading it would be silly.

Boris " They're the kind of wackamole tactics we are going to use".

Fuck me. Wackamole. That's really scientific.

Agreed. Add to that fines if you don't stay home and do as you're told. Fuck that.
