@TheQueef

At least they've stuck him after Worzel so he doesn't look so dishevled.
It'll be late then, he'll need time to change into a smart suit.

Oh balls, what fresh hell is this.
You are reading my mind

@ancientgran

Boris likes Cockburns I believe Sorry this isn't PC, nothing against the Chinese just historical. Is Cockburns like what we used to call Chinese burns back in the day except not on your wrist?
Its the name of a port?

@HMSBeagle

I'm not Tory lover but feel sorry for Bojo
I feel generically sympathetic for him as I do for anyone with the weight of the responsibility of an entire countries population on their shoulders but on an individual level? He can go fuck himself as can his slimy toad cabinet.

These fuckers campaigned for chaos with brexit - now they’ve got what they wanted and more they can shoulder the burden of what they’ve reduced this country to.

GreenlandTheMovie · 21/12/2020 16:40

Perhaps its to announce Boris is going to resign. He didn't look happy at the last one when he had to cancel family Christmas for many.

Demitri · 21/12/2020 16:40

Please tell me there won’t be a shortage of wine 😫😫😫

xmasfairybuns · 21/12/2020 16:41

Boris likes Cockburns I believe

Do MNHQ not object to us discussing the PM's sexual preferences?

PandemicPavolova · 21/12/2020 16:47

Pseudo cockny arm gesture!!

HMSBeagle · 21/12/2020 16:48

I dont have any faith that Kier could do much better. Every day he is just berating Bojo about everything and demanding he fixes everything.

I get the feeling he he be frothing even if Bojo found, made the vaccine single handedly. He reminds me of my MIL. Full of vitriol but no solutions to offer.

They are all dick heads.

Must be hard for someone a clever as Chris Whitty to deal with them.

Except Matt Hancock as I have trama induced crush on him from the first lockdown, I know, I know. Its form of PTSD from the daily press conferences. Stockholm syndrome?

We couldn’t be that lucky.

Re: the first paragraph, that's his job. He's leader of the opposition.
JacobReesMogadishu · 21/12/2020 16:51

I’m worried it’s going to be another lock down!

If the roles were reversed I suspect Boris would be doing exactly the same.

Iwonder777 · 21/12/2020 16:53

What time is he coming on?

HMSBeagle · 21/12/2020 16:54

I so want to like Kier. He seems on paper perfect but PMQs give me the rage

timeforanewstart · 21/12/2020 16:54

Wouldn't surprise me if another lovkdown after xmas , probably whats needed in all honestly
Not sure if tiers work whilst numbers so high ,in a small country where people travel across tiers with no one to really stop them .
But may just be a reassurance about food / port deliveries etc

Olinguito · 21/12/2020 16:54

I wonder how many times he will say 'alas'.

Unlikely as Bojo cant get to the point 🤣

@herecomestheSon

On the first day of Christmas Boris Johnson gave to us, one "surging mutant virus" (thanks to the Sunday Times for that) and a promise of a vaccine in a few months.

On the second day of Christmas Boris Johnson gave to us, 2 helpful scientists, either side of him, one surging mutant virus and a promise of a vaccine in a few months.

On the third day of Christmas Boris Johnson gave to us, 3 deep sighs ALAS ALAS ALAS...

On the fourth day of Xmas, BJ gave to us,....Tier Four!...

On the 5th day of Christmas BJ gave to us, 5 days of Christmas but in fact changed his mind and made them into 1 again....

GrinGrinGrin Thank you. That has cheered me right up amid all the gloom and doom

PicsInRed · 21/12/2020 16:57

Oh for fuck's sake - it's Boris and the Transport Secretary. And Valance.

Between the news out of Manchester and the news at the Channel, that can't be good - at least when it's just Whitty and Valance, we know to expect a generic "you're all going to die" update. As a PP so aptly put it, what fresh hell will this be. Hmm

justanotherneighinparadise · 21/12/2020 16:57

I actually thought he looked rather ill when he flashed up on the BBC just now. So I’m not convinced he looks any healthier than Boris. He certainly needs to lose some weight.

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 21/12/2020 16:57

There is still time to put more areas into tier 4 before Christmas. Wouldn’t surprise me if this were to happen. Some of the southern tier 2 areas have seen a large increase in cases.

demitrimendeleev1 · 21/12/2020 16:57

When is this?
