Cant he do it earlier. This is a bit ridiculous.

TammyHullfigure · 04/01/2021 14:54

If it isn't Boris Johnson's resignation, I'm not interested.

Who would you like instead?
Theunamedcat · 04/01/2021 14:56

Confirmed or another rumour?

Beebityboo · 04/01/2021 14:57

Confirmed

BBC just confirmed 8pm .....guess it's heading for full lockdown again

TammyHullfigure · 04/01/2021 14:58

Who would you like instead?

Mr Blobby?

TrySarahTops · 04/01/2021 14:58

Yep, I think it's going to be another full lockdown.

Jeremy Hunt's tweets earlier today is pretty damming on the situation.

GhostPepperTears · 04/01/2021 14:59

Scotland's locked down.

8pm will be England, I would guess.

Fuckety fuckety fuck (at the whole situation, not lockdown specific).

Lemonpiano · 04/01/2021 14:59

Ah shit.

Thepilotlightsgoneout · 04/01/2021 15:00

Isn’t Tier 4 already lockdown? So it’ll just basically mean moving everyone into Tier 4?

SummerHouse · 04/01/2021 15:00

Who is Preston? I predict a late start. 26 minutes late. Oh and journalist questions will all be annoying and essentially the same.

Adviceneededalways · 04/01/2021 15:00

Do we think he will announce school closures after near enough singing to us yesterday that all children were perfectly safe at school?

EloraaDanan · 04/01/2021 15:01

Stupid stupid stupid man.

Forgetmenot157 · 04/01/2021 15:01

Will be full lockdown... Last one was done at a similar time to make sure as many people were at home as possible to watch it!

reefedsail · 04/01/2021 15:01

Presumably following Scotland into lockdown for 'January'.

BarbaraofSeville · 04/01/2021 15:01

@Rudolphian

Cant he do it earlier. This is a bit ridiculous.
If it was earlier, they wouldn't be ready and it would be delayed like one a few weeks ago, or people would complain that it will interfere with tea/bath/bed (Is it Boris's turn to put Wilfred to bed tonight?) so 8 pm seems as good a time as any to me.

Peston is leading ITV journalist, often knows stuff before others it seems

the80sweregreat · 04/01/2021 15:01

It was inevitable really after his interview yesterday with Andrew Marr and the school s fiasco.
J Hunt's tweets has probably pushed this too.

Barbie222 · 04/01/2021 15:01

There is no way he will ever live this down in his party

EndoplasmicReticulum · 04/01/2021 15:02

So if he shuts schools, some primary children went back to mingle for just 1 day.

That was, umm, useful.

@TammyHullfigure

Mr Blobby?

These posts are stupid everyone says for him to resign but whenever asked who to reace him they give a bulls hit answer...
Beebityboo · 04/01/2021 15:02

It's criminal he let all those children mix at school today.

Thank you January I have avoided the news so this passed me by.
ComDummings · 04/01/2021 15:04

Lockdown 3.0
Or tier 5 for some areas 🤷🏻‍♀️
No idea but it is too little too late no matter what.
