@ReginaaPhalange

I wonder if Nicola will follow suit for Scotland?
She’s already got it in place with the exception of closing the high street really.
SinkGirl · 31/10/2020 19:22

He is getting eviscerated. Ouch.

lyralalala · 31/10/2020 19:22

The furlough extension might help if Nicola has to tip Lanarkshire into the higher tier

I am LOVING the BSL signer!

BetsyBoo100 · 31/10/2020 19:22

Did anyone catch anything about playgrounds?

NRJ688 · 31/10/2020 19:23

Was dreading it but probably better than I thought, Just glad furlough was extended

Took a screen grab of ‘Measures end on December 2nd’ Grin

He said outside exercise with your own household, or you and one person from another household. HTH.

user675761 · 31/10/2020 19:24

Has the furlough scheme been extended for all four nations or just England?

SheepandCow · 31/10/2020 19:24

Is that it?

Just pubs, bars, and restaurants closed?

So risking the livelihoods of people working in the hospitality industry for nothing.

It's no lockdown. Borders wide open, schools, etc.

This mess is just going to keep on dragging on and on and on.

He is going to get slaughtered in Parliament next week.

Umm...@Bailey0703 how do you know that I'm not the grandparent?!

Saw this, accurate

Bayleaf25 · 31/10/2020 19:26

What about outside organised sports clubs i.e. athletics, football, hockey, golf, tennis? For children and adults. Do you think they will also close. Are indoor leisure facilities definitely closing? I'm not sure if there is specific guidance yet for each situation?

MarshaBradyo · 31/10/2020 19:27

Whitty speaks well tg and Vallance

QueenPaws · 31/10/2020 19:27

Wondering if car dealerships will close...

GabsAlot · 31/10/2020 19:27

he cant list everything i suppose but i heard gyms andleisure to close

MrsMigginsMate · 31/10/2020 19:28

Also interested in the new rules about informal childcare (as opposed to registered childminders), there's a lot of holes in this announcement and we are still left to guess!

AnnetteCurtainPeeper · 31/10/2020 19:28

I have an Airbnb booked for a weekend away in Hampshire in 2 weeks, I was sooooo looking forward to it, I'm guessing we can't go

Greysparkles · 31/10/2020 19:31

If you are ok with putting your parents 'at risk' then crack on... I wouldn't.. depends how important your parents are to you

Oh fuck off with that bullshit.

SpongeCake23 · 31/10/2020 19:33

Are we allowed to meet other people outdoors?

Mumofsend · 31/10/2020 19:33

Are the tips staying open?

SleepingStandingUp · 31/10/2020 19:33

@SpongeCake23

Are we allowed to meet other people outdoors?
1 other person if you mean from a different bubble
Newbeginningsnow · 31/10/2020 19:33

Why are they kidding on that people could spend Christmas with their families? Do they think people are so stupid they don’t see through that.

SinkGirl · 31/10/2020 19:34

How is this going to work really? There’s going to be so much spread with all educational institutions and many workplaces open. It’s a shitty half measure which won’t work, and we’ll end up with a harder full lockdown through December and Christmas.

Mumofsend · 31/10/2020 19:34

@bailey0703 don't do that.
