What's Boris going to talk about today?

[likeamillpond]

He's 'taking to the podium'
They usually leak what he's going to talk about but I've checked on Sky etc and all I've found so far is something about Vit. D

Probably football

His visit to a hairdresser.

Probably to discuss vaccine efforts - passing 10 million doses and reopening hospitality and non-essential retail etc. - they didn’t really “celebrate” that too much because of Prince Philip’s death. Plus hopefully more information on travel

I would think it's time for a shit new slogan. We've not had one of them for a while

Football?
Why the hell should that be main news?
Why is it important and other things aren't?

His irreversible pint.

Maybe India and is cancelled trip.

I’d like the crocus of hope to make another appearance. A ridiculous but underused piece of imagery.

Talking about cancelling his trip to India which was a bloody stupid idea in the first place and them joining the red list.

On the matter of his haircut, I hope that was DIY and that's not a result of him paying a professional.

OTOH, if you were a hairdresser and were given that power, you might not be minded to produce your best work, might you?

Vaccine success, Indian Variant

I did read somewhere about there being 6 hour delays at airports.
And that's at thewell organised airports!
God only knows what it'll be like at any airport that's a bit small and disorganised.

I do t think I'll go abroad this year.
Can't be doing with that either end of the holiday

I’m assuming his hairdresser did that on purpose Barbara. Although it shows considerable skill to make his hair look worse after a haircut.

Probably going to say many are following the restrictions/getting vaccinated - keep up the good work. Nothing about those that don't comply/getting advice for those that are nervous about the vaccine.

I do wonder if he'll say anything about travel abroad, bearing in mind we have a new variant of concern (and to be honest there's probably likely to be more).

I wish someone, maybe his girlfriend, would buy him a tub of hair wax or hair putty. A small amount run through his hair before facing the public would soon sort out that fly away look. Does he not have a stylist?

What time is this on please? I thought the government had suspended press briefings during Prince Philip’s mourning period.

He "styles" his hair that way on purpose to look like a harmless eccentric rather than a calculating bastard.

the mourning period ended on Saturday didn't it?

Someone had done a hack job on it for his address to Parliament about Prince Philip the other day though.

I suspect it will be some stuff about remembering to stick to the rules for a bit longer and a pat on the back for the achievement of the staff of a horribly underfunded NHShis Government in getting so many people vaccinated. Followed by some drivel to make us see what a man of the people his is- probably about sitting outside a pub with a pint and his resolve to 'save football'. Actually, I think there might be quite a bit about football. Any fool can see that this is the most thing to keep control of in a global pandemic situation.

When is the Great Man due to speak?

To remind everybody that this isn’t over yet and we face challenges from mutant strains of the virus. Maybe !.

Hopefully he'll explain why the addition of India to the red list came so late and wasn't implemented immediately with the likelihood that over 100 cases of the India variant will be imported into the UK this week on the remaining flights.

Oh wait - it's Boris - nope, he'll talk about football.

5pm as usual, the mourning period has ended. I'm not sure there's much to say, vaccines are going great, India is on the red list, remember to keep following the rules, hands, face, space, fresh air, blah blah.

Thank you. I’m sure it will be more of the same but will watch anyway.

He does it on purpose to look "affable"

This. However India isn't on the red list til Friday. The news of the discovery of the Indian variant (about which there is insufficient data to say whether its resistant to vaccines) broke last weekend yet it doesn't join the red list until almost a week later. I wonder if he'll say something about that.
