Jesus Maria - what the heck is it now - ARGGGHHHHH

@Ylvamoon don't worry - we need more dark humour, not less.

[Frazzled2207]

I think they committed to three times a week and this is the third this week tbf.
Not expecting any major announcements given that the lockdowns finally appear to be working. Hopefully some good news on vaccines.

Every time they say that I shake my head.
If it is what I had I spent a week in bed and then was still needing to have a sleep After anything that involved exertion for a few weeks after. I am not going to behave like that

So some time over the weekend then?

The rest of the UK has some catching up to do with Scotland.

[Doublefaced]

Schools opening next week.

[SpeckledFrogsLog]

Watching with interest to see whether they stop us meeting someone else for exercise!

Maybe they will be showcasing the new data that shows that most infections are in care homes. And they have yet again failed to protect the obviously vulnerable when it was perfectly obvious to everyone they should be the main target for infection control.

Just read that article and she is quoted as saying (yesterday), “We are not thinking about bringing in new measures today or tomorrow." So they could announce some today to come into force at the weekend?

I really don't think they would dare do that

Not only is it illogical but he already has a lot of his backbenchers up in arms about the current restrictions

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow

Boris Buzzword Bingo

Alack

Alas

Etc etc

What else does he say?🤷🏼‍♀️

I’d like to think he’d throw in a full “alackaday” at some point

Come on! Confess!! Your his script writer aren't you?!

He's a nightmare to listen to, but I'll take him over Patel any day. That woman grinds my gears in a serious way.

They said last year that 'Daily Briefings' would resume in January, but I think in their usual clear messaging I think what they meant was there would be several a week, but not every day. Some sort of schedule might be handy. I'd also like a better schedule if who is speaking in the HoC and which select committees are going to be televised. (If anyone has links that would be grand!) they are really interesting if you're interested in the discussion. The one with Kaye Bingham this morning was great.

@SophieB100 Loving your work Sophie!

I quite like watching Boris waffling away, and find his turn of phrase mildly amusing, although I can see why he winds people up. Apparently people who have worked with him say that he's incredibly bright, but lazy - so, the hard grind he's been forced to do must really grate on him! I do think his natural optimism is a good thing though - anyone else in his position might have cracked up by now.

[TurquoiseDress]

Thanks for this, will be tuning in!

[SophieB100]

I have been known to write the odd script, when I'm not out for a drive to test my eyesight.

[PilatesPeach]

I was reading the Sun on FB earlier - seemed to suggest that it was about the vaccine acceleration & the 2 Brazilian variants - one of which is apparently in the UK already

[DianaT1969]

Is there a tour t-shirt?

[mimi0708]

pretty much sums it up 😂 😂

[RedToothBrush]

@Physer

I had an image of Robert Palmer doing Addicted to Love there

Please someone do Boris singing this with Whitty and Valence dancing. Or at least nodding heads in time.

You’ve missed out ‘unprecedented’. Shame on you!
