Johnson's latest press conference

[labyrinthloafer]

More changes, more masks, pausing further openings - plus get back to the office.

I was quite at the idea of 5000 at the races on Saturday.

Chris Whitty didn't sound very jolly just then

To paraphrase, we've reached the limit of what can be opened up. We may have to pull back a bit, in fact.

Also, the new catchphrase is "Hands, face, space. Get a test."

Eased lockdown too far, too fast

HANDS FACE SPACE!!

its like he either just came up with it in that second and loves it or he got told earlier and forgot then suddenly remembered it, as he wont shut up about it now!

I hate this government!

Sounds like 'enjoy your freedom folks it's not going to last!'

Boris is rushing so much I can barely understand what he is saying. Thank goodness for CW!

So what do the new mask rules apply to then?

If we have reached the limit as prof chris says, that means no schools open....

Hey he got a new slogan at least FFS

I am sure there should be a dance to go with that?!

Hands Face Space

But no sodding Trace !

@MiniCoffee I'm sat here thinking the same. If we've reached the limit where is the allowance for schools. Do we close pubs and restaurants to be able to open schools?

New rules are facemasks in places of worship, museums, galleries. One other as well, but I can't remember it.

Also, police will be enforcing mask-wearing where is it required.

I am sending to anyone ending shielding, pretty shitty to end it the same day you tell the country it's not going well and we need to pull back.

😂😂😂😂😂

Shielding is due to pause tomorrow - did he mention it at all?

(I’ve not seen anything so far)

Can we make CW PM ?

Shielding praise is going ahead.

Sensible measures in my opinion.

Plans need to be flexible and adapt to changing situations. I'm pleased that when necessary the Government will change rules and even backtrack if needed. That's a much better approach, when there is so much uncertainty, than blindly sticking to a timetable that doesn't work.

Personally I'd also stop indoor dining and indoor pub seating.

Pause not praise!! Damn autocorrect

Well said !!!

It's an absolute shit show.

Non wearing of face coverings to be made a capital offence. Priti Patel has been put in charge of organising the death squads

@TokyoSushi

Sounds like 'enjoy your freedom folks it's not going to last!'

Exactly this!

Can you imagine the reaction if they close pubs to open schools?!? Or, alternatively, if they DONT?!
