I’d shag Gav FWIW. After a bottle of Lambrini. The 2litre one.

'This is about taking the opportunity to erm take the opportunity to beat back the virus'.

THIS Muppet is Education Secretary? He's thick as fuck.

PandemicPavolova · 30/12/2020 16:31

Labour lady was deplorable and not one mention of the protection everyone needs even vulnerable dc of hospitals!

@OnehorseopenBobsleigh

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!
He did say vast majority of primary schools open which can't mean most of tier 4(as tier 4 75% country!)
PandemicPavolova · 30/12/2020 16:32

Omg, we've hardly got a closure and now someone is Moaning about closures..

That’s exactly what I thought when he said that
ExeterMummaMia · 30/12/2020 16:33

I've watched the whole thing.

I have NO IDEA what the plan is!? The communication is simply appalling!

Stating that some schools in T4 will be closed and others not, but not actually giving any info on which areas they are referring to is just not acceptable!

Off to go and eat a box a chocs and shake my head in despair!

squiddybear · 30/12/2020 16:33

Soooo everyone as normal then

Ruled · 30/12/2020 16:33

In Scotland the 'key worker' children criteria are much tighter than in the lockdown. We have extended holiday until 11th, 'online' learning until at least the 18th.

I know Gav's announcement doesn't directly affect us, but I had to switch off the radio nonetheless as can't bear to listen to him. But following this with interest as Nicola won't want to be outdone by anything England are doing Hmm

NoSuchThingAsCheese · 30/12/2020 16:34

They are refusing to cancel exams. Ffs.

JamieLeesCurtains · 30/12/2020 16:34

Yeah, the Labour spokes was phoning in a performance there.

MotorwayDiva · 30/12/2020 16:34

Wow they just keep us on tenterhooks don't they? Just publish the effing list so I can go and sort things out!!!

EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide · 30/12/2020 16:34

@ilovenewyear do they put some sort of sex drugs in Lambrini? It used to make me quite dirty 😂 and the tag line used to be Lambrini girls just want to have fun..

Passmeabottlemrjones · 30/12/2020 16:35

What do we want?

The list of Tier 4 areas in which schools will not be opening in line with the rest of the country!

When do we want it?

NOW!

CoffeeCreamandSugar · 30/12/2020 16:35

His communication is terrible... absolutely awful

MyNameForToday1980 · 30/12/2020 16:36

At some mystery point in the future, a mysterious list may be published, on a mystery URL, which may or may not tell you that schools in your area are closed.

Even so, it may or may not be applicable to early years settings.

Thanks Williamson.

queenjaneappro · 30/12/2020 16:36

Found the list on Twitter!

Gav - where are you?
Passmeabottlemrjones · 30/12/2020 16:36

I do think the list of areas will be really small. Not even all the areas which went into Tier 4 before Xmas.

ReesMoggsGlasses · 30/12/2020 16:37

Found the list on Twitter!

I remember the tag line Grin I always found it had a smoked ham after taste Envy

OrangeSamphire · 30/12/2020 16:37

This cowardly government doesn't want to be seen to be to blame for school closures nor be seen to force openings in areas that are hardest hit by covid. They will let local authorities take the hit for that instead.

This constant batting of responsibilities between central government and local authorities is everything that is wrong with our public services.

PandemicPavolova · 30/12/2020 16:37

I'm flummoxed that no one cares about the short term necessity of keeping dc safe in the context of melt down of hospital?
