Gav - where are you?

[Beepbopadooda]

I thought the announcement was at 4pm?

Today 16:25Tarararara

Completely unclear who is in school, who is working remotely, and who is getting an extended holiday.

Same here

When is the list going up on the website then?!

@JamieLeesCurtains

He's very Frank Spencer-esque

Oh god, don't @ReesMoggsGlasses. Can you imagine if Betty Boothroyd were still the Speaker?

Add a dash of Widdecombe and it's a bloody panto

So are secondary schools starting on 18th Jan with home-schooling next week or do they have an extra two weeks holiday?

Why they can't coordinate the website info to coincide with the announcements is beyond me.

What a shit show

Cue constant refreshing of twitter as likely easiest place to find 'the list'...

You are all missing the point - I've been deeply cogitating my response to the key question:

Snog Boris because he may be deplorable but has clearly got a magnetic personality if you look at his past record, Marry (then swiftly divorce) Matt, push Gavin off a cliff.

Once again half a story delivered by Gav- where is this list?

Now we have to wait for the list FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Tier 4 here and still no bloody clue if my kids are going back or not.

Because that would be far too efficient wouldn't it!? 🙄

@ReesMoggsGlasses

I reckon "critical" workers will have different criteria to the old keyworkers

It's been critical workers not keyworkers for school for quite some time (think it's always been that on gov.uk)

Well, the Labour spokes is trying to get detail.

Couldn’t agree more. Damn it. I’m in a really high area, I bet my DC’s will be closed.

List. List. List.

Just make sure you get that damn list off him before you do

Is this real life? I can’t see my two parents for one day at Christmas but I can teach 30 children for 6 hours a day with two adults in my room who are older than my parents. Really?

Remote learning for years 11 and 13 only next week?

@JamieLeesCurtains

Well, the Labour spokes is trying to get detail.

The labour spokes is appalling, reading from a script, has no emotion and I've fallen asleep

Right well I hate him now.

Maybe T4 hotspots will be almost all of T4? That way he gets to stand up and say they're open as normal except..... with exceptions outnumbering the rest!

Another frankly murderous decision from the government.

This thread does make me think thank goodness for Mumsnet, you lovely vipers have cheered me up no end in the middle of this mad uncertainty.

That's what I heard.

Liiiiiiiist. Give us the damn list!
