This cracked me up probably why my head felt like it was spinning on Monday evening between trying to understand boris bumberling away and trying to ignore my 3 year old bellowing at me from her bedroom haha!

He's having to make his own tea as all his staff are now working from home.

@Lovaduck74

And if it's really bad, Twitter at 11pm 🤣

@OverTheRainbow88

I think he’s now doing daily updates
It shouldn't have, but this made me LOL. Grin
the80sweregreat · 07/01/2021 12:22

It's about the vaccines I would imagine.

loulouljh · 07/01/2021 12:22

God knows!!!!!! Can't take much more of this..or him!!

BrightYellowDaffodil · 07/01/2021 12:24

My first thought was “Oh God, what can he possibly want now?”

Then it was maybe they’re going to announce a ban on clapping Grin

Madcats · 07/01/2021 12:33

I think this is his daily vaccine progress update.

The Torygraph says: "The Armed Forces involvement will be spelt out in greater detail at a Downing Street Press Conference at 5pm as Brigadier Phil Prosser, the military lead on vaccines, is due to appear alongside the Prime Minister and Sir Simon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England".

Whenever I hear of a brigadier doing a press conference alongside the Prime Minister I immediately think of some of the old Dr Who episodes.

@Madcats

Yup, me too.

Brigadier one side, NHS Chief on the other.

Journalists whispering: 'doesn't he look tired' Grin

FourTeaFallOut · 07/01/2021 12:38

We were getting a vaccine update today with more details about the rollout but the daily updates are from Monday - on the gov dashboard.

There are some on here who would still happily smack his bottom

(Not me I hasten to add!!)

@Wingingthis

He said he'd be doing this tonight. Then as if Monday, back to daily briefings I'm not sure if he will do them or if that new woman will be doing them. (Employed last year, can't remember her name or correct title. Brain like a fucking sieve at the moment. But something like 'head of communication' 'press secretary'....?!)

It's not compulsory viewing.

It'll be all over MN & the news if you just want to catch up on the bottom line

I also dread what tweaks to the restrictions on our freedoms will be announced next.

He can't give it at 8pm tonight, isn't every bugger out clapping again?
Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2021 12:43

Yes @WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants it's all about the crying/shaking and moaning. Grin
