Missed the briefing. Anyone got an actual summary?

[BabyLlamaZen]

Including things that were implied, questions not answered, anything interesting?

All I can see is not to worry about food and ports. 🤷‍♀️

The hair is a deliberate distraction from the blah coming out of his mouth.i almost wish I’d seen in now 😄

This thread is comedy gold

Macron's birthday

Everything's absolutely fine with freight at Dover. All sorted.

Kids. Education. Umm. very important

That's about it.

Incidentally, shortly afterwards there was an interview on my local radio station from the road hauliers association (or some title like that) who basically said that shapps was completely wrong and things were not absolutely fine by a very long chalk. Alas

@RhubarbTea

Boris' hair looked like a dandelion clock with pomade on. It was weird.

Haha, yes it did, that's a great way to describe it

hes had a lovely chat with macron and its his birthday

and nothing much else

Properly cracking up here over the comments on bj's hair 🤣🤣🤣

@Callybrid

This is great - I need an app called the Mumsnet news summary which does this for all the news at the moment.

I would like the headline for this article to be ‘“Blah, Waffle, It’ll be fine for Easter” says pomaded dandelion clock”

I've just tried to explain why I'm laughing to (Italian) husband. He thinks I've been on the sherry.

I think it's time for a spot the difference moment again.
Here's a mango stone.

JC just caught his hair on the news wtf! IT was like some weird asymmetrical wedge out of Mad Max.

Why does he keep saying alas? What a twit.

Sorry @TheSilentStars I can’t see the mango stone, Boris is in the way 😁

Hahaha I can't see the difference

What's this movable barrier? Does it move the goods directly from France so Brexit and covid don't matter?

He really said things ok by Easter? Or that tier 4 might be out by then?

Thank you. First proper laugh of the day. God, I needed that.

Square root of sod all

Does anyone know ANYBODY AT ALL in real life who says 'alas'?

Yes. But nobody who wasn’t privately educated.

Alas, no I don't.

Ummm, it's Macron's birthday today.

Other than that, just general background noise and nothing of consequence.

I say alas! And I wasn’t privately educated. But I only say it as part of a family in-joke because DM used to cry “alas! Woe is me!” when we were melodramatic teens.

Is it standing for election? Happy to swap it for Johnson.

Don't panic buy.
We will have plenty of fish.

I say "Alas!"

I'm not Boris, though. My hair's not that fluffy.

@Motorina, you’ve made me think of a whole new “that’s not my”book

“That’s not my Boris, his hair is too tidy” etc

“That’s my boris!his hair is so dandelion clock pomadey”

@Justgivemewine amazing. You could be onto an extremely lucrative thing here. Maybe also a Brexit version?

That’s not my Brexit, the lorries are too moving etc

That’s not my prime minister he’s speaking too clearly
