Boris News Conference at 5 pm today breaking news

[SophieB100]

Sky now

Statement from Matt Hancock at 3 (ish)
Statement from Williamson at 4 (ish)
They're the warm up
The star of the show will rock up at 5.00! (very ish)

Looks like lockdowns incoming then?

This comes to mind.

Statement from Matt Hancock at 3 (ish) - Tiers?
Statement from Williamson at 4 (ish) - Schools?
The star of the show will rock up at 5.00! (very ish) - Vaccine?

Alas, yes!

He'll want to swoop in at the end, after Hancock and Williamson have delivered the bad news, to waffle on about great British pluck and grit and vaccine success and how we'll all be just grand thanks to him and his government.

All from Downing Street? Will there be intervals with ice cream?

So is he supposed to be the nice end of the shit sandwich. Oh.

@MeringueCloud

All from Downing Street? Will there be intervals with ice cream?

Nope. Fish. Fish for EVERYONE.

(Bad news for those of us who don’t eat fish)

They better have mint choc chip! Honestly, 3 hours of waffling?!

Surely Boris must be doing some big announcement.. I can't see that he'd be rolled out if Matt Hancock & Gavin Williamson have already done announcements unless it was something else.

Waffles will be provided by Boris!
Waffle, waffle, waffle, alas, waffle, alas, alack...and extra waffle.

As I said above. I predict it will be

Hancock - Tiers
Williamson - Schools
Boris - Vaccine

We know how much he loves delivering good news.

Hancock and Williamson aren't doing announcements rim Downing Street - they're making statements in the commons at those times.

*from not rim lol

Brexit deal vote this afternoon so presume it will be about that

Boris will be telling the general public what Hancock and Williamson have told the commons earlier - their statements are about tiers and education.

Brexit deal vote this afternoon so presume it will be about that

Ah yes, good shout. Vaccine and Brexit news. A lovely* double whammy

*Brexit news may not be lovely for all, but it's positive news for Boris.

he'll let matt and gav do the bad news then come out in his superman cape for vaccine and brexit deal

Boris is standing in front of the mirror right now trying out a few slogans.

They worked for Brexit after all.

Thats a long working day for politicians, hope they get overtime pay!

He was in the House of Commons giving a statement on Brexit deal this morning Mind you I was watching but had to turn off when Ian Blackford was going on and on and on....will nothing shut that man up

Boris's speech highlights for those who'll miss it:

Vaccine vaccine, British led vaccine

Brexit, we've got Brexit done, got Brexit done, got a great deal

The end of 2020, tough year but haven't we done well, got Brexit done and we're leading the world in vaccines.

2021 will be mega. Back to normal by Easter.

New Years Eve tomorrow. Everyone do a socially distanced Auld Lang Syne outside for Britain as we become an indepedent sovereign nation again. Hoorah.

🤣🤣

That's a lot of ministers and a PM in one day.

The only hope I have is that now we have second vaccine there is a proper plan in place and the next few months will be explained to us.
