So do we think Boris will just be waffling about Brexit at 5 ? Or do we think he'll give a warning of further measures if the new tiers don't work..

I suspect it will be mostly Brexit and the vaccine.

Just seen 981 deaths reported today, how can we not be going into full lockdown??

SamsMumsCateracts · 30/12/2020 16:09

981 deaths?! They can't keep the schools and nurseries open, surely?

Surely that includes several days of backlog from over Christmas?

No way can they force us to send our children to school with those numbers. It would be criminal.

HampshireMummyof2 · 30/12/2020 16:11

I'm watching 4 threads to find out what is going on!

Crunchymum · 30/12/2020 16:12

Where are you watching?

HampshireMummyof2 · 30/12/2020 16:13

On here. Keep refreshing my watching page to see if anyone knows what is going on.

@lunar1

I'm going to be gutted if Boris isn't wearing a cape now.
And his underpants on top 🤣🤣
PandemicPavolova · 30/12/2020 16:13

981😢.

AaronPurr · 30/12/2020 16:14

Here we go with Gav.

PandemicPavolova · 30/12/2020 16:14

He is here now..

RedToothBrush · 30/12/2020 16:14

Heeeeere's Gav....

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 30/12/2020 16:15

How an earth with numbers as high as 981 deaths can we not be in lockdown? The NHS is breaking, hospitals asking for military assistance and we are still faffing around with tiers.

Im in tier 4 and the local garden center was heaving yesterday when i walked past with the dog, roads are busy and people are using a trip to wikinsons as a family day out. My mum manages a care home (adults with disabilities not elderly) and had to phone an ambulance yesterday for a resident, it took 4 hours to arrive

the80sweregreat · 30/12/2020 16:15

It's Gavlerrr

PandemicPavolova · 30/12/2020 16:15

He looks awful, his dark circles

It's a truly horrible number but does include a considerable backlog from the festive bank holiday weekend.
JustAPassingFashion · 30/12/2020 16:15

Come onnnnn Gav...

itsgettingweird · 30/12/2020 16:16

PandemicPavolova · 30/12/2020 16:16

Chaotic a reporter just said we have not had that yet

He doesn't look well.
His voice annoys me so much.
