Come the fuck on Boris.

[Bluewavescrashing]

Leaving the nation hanging around for his words of wisdom is not going to boost his popularity.

Having watched a bit of the ballet (and resolved to go and see a performance after all this has passed) I suspect BJ is trying on some spray on ballet tights to try and distract us from the detail in his briefing.

Still dithering 🙄

@TiersOfAClown

Good news: by the time Boris gets his arse out to speak, it'll just be 3 weeks left of lockdown 2!

😂😂

I saw the chief mouser also looking very calm and in control of himself

Got quite excited I did.

@herecomesthsun

Was the cat there deputising for Boris do you think?

I have more confidence in the cat.

His just brushing his hair. Bit of lippy.
Squirt of some poncy aftershave Carrie bought him last Christmas.

its just so strange that a lot of Conservatives can't agree on how to deal with this isn't it, presumably that's the reason for the delay. poor loves.

The last time I waited like this for an act was for Axl Rose. It was a damp squib.

We've been waiting all day for him to say fuck all I bet!

@LesLavandes

SaltandPepper - what the fuck are you trying to say????

"Get stuffed" was my understanding 🤷‍♀️

I now think he might step out to Strictly Music([can't get the trailer out of my head)

Luther Vandross was always so late but at least he was worth waiting for 😊

I reckon they deliberately leaked in order to get a feel for public opinion and are now rowing it out with the teachers unions. There's no point doing a half arsed lockdown and keeping the schools open, it won't work. It isn't masked adults catching this in bnq. It's the schools opening that caused the rise and schools closing that will bring it under control again.

I agree - I've been watching the BBC News coverage for the past couple of hours, and the teaching union spokesman spoke very eloquently and reasonably about why schools should also be closed now (and I don't want this at all; I have 2 DCs in secondary school, and DH and I both work in schools too). I am sure that schools are the sticking point in that Downing Street meeting right now.

Hopefully the Queen's ordered a coup with her armed forces and troops are moving in to arrest the government and impose martial law and restore order.

I'm nearly through the sour cream and onion peanuts...

FFS I got excited at motorcycle guy coming out of No 10.

Aftershave! Never associated that with Johnson. I find it way too disturbing to think that someone like that could smell nice. :/

C'mon Larry, spill the beans. 🐈

It’s the damn backbenchers holding him to ransom

I'm going to have to pour a new g&t, at this rate I'll have drunk the bottle by the time this gets going.

I wish he would just say anything.
Now my mind is replaying that scene in Friends when Ross’s inner monologue is going “Just say something! Anything! This is the longest anyone has not spoken for, ever!” and he comes out with: “err, I haven’t had sex in a really long time”.

That was his Dominos being delivered,

Watch out for the dandruff...and suspicious white traces of powder around the nose...

Rita deserves a medal for getting through this.
