Boris: Press conference today (Tuesday 5th Jan)

[SophieB100]

So, Boris, Whitty and I think Vallance are doing a press briefing at 5 pm today.
Hope he's ready for some difficult questions!

Oh God, Boris, what new fuckery do you have for us now.

He’s going to apologise for the mistake he made yesterday
And today is letting us out
Yayyy

Coming clean about infection levels in schools before they are required to by legal challenge?

He'll just pass the buck to the others as always no doubt.

@Dowser

He’s going to apologise for the mistake he made yesterday And today is letting us out Yayyy

Boris doesn't apologise.

I’m surprised it’s not Rishi and his new package of grants for business?

I don't think It will be anything new just the usual lockdown daily press conference like we had before. Next slide please.

Maybe he'll sort the nursery situation out.

Christ what more could he possibly say. He's a PR disaster

Yes just seen this on twitter. No looking out of your window, all in tier 6

Not watching. I'm done. Next it'll be the vaccine isn't going to work, still need to shield etc even after it's been rolled out.........

Definitely cannot take anymore Boris ! I’ll watch it on catch up to see Whitty and Vallance only !!

I think it will focus on the need for people to comply to the lockdown, lots of data to show how bad things are.
Reassurance at the end from Boris, about the vaccine.

Waffle, alas, waffle, alas, rinse and repeat.
And he'll cut the journo's off as soon as he hasn't answered their question, so they can't follow up and push him for an answer.
Oh, and he'll look woefully at Whitty and Valance to see if they want to answer on his behalf.

I actually think we’ll be back in daily press briefing mode now. Ooh just like the Good old Days off lockdown 1, yay.

So tired of £££ packages to advance guaranteed loans and other support packages to industries in need of major restructuring,.
How about introducing universal basic income as is being trialed in Wales during this crisis so that people like me who have been laid off and have 0 chance of finding a job while having to look after two children at home can put food on the table and keep roof over our heads?

You have to laugh, SophieB100 you omitted a smattering of latin or referring to Toots on the Bugle

Yes, l too would like to hear his reason that Nursery’s can remind open, but Schools are shut except for KW and Vulnerable children. It should be the same for Nursery’s too.

We WERE hurtling towards the light at the end of the tunnel. Though we should remember that it isn't a yoghurt.

He forgot to say 'alas' yesterday and is planning to make up for it today. Plus of course lots of graphs with upwards trajectories.

Sigh.

'Me inscio scurra Atticus'?

Announcing his resignation? Has he finally cracked at last, the guilt of yesterday's monumental fuck-up (saying "schools are safe" then closing them the same day) finally got to him?

More evasion , guff and junior prep school sports master exhortations...what a joke..

He must have the hide of a rhino to be facing the press today... or just be totally stupid.

@SoscaredforJan

He must have the hide of a rhino to be facing the press today... or just be totally stupid.

Im guessing that is the main driver, he has come in for a lot of flack about no questions after the announcements and no showing of evidence, so this will just be slides to show what he was saying yesterday and asking everyone to please please please stay home.

FFS. Probably just be questionable data to scare the shit out of people so they comply 🤷🏻‍♀️
