If restrictions are going tomorrow, wouldnt the conference be tonight? Will there be party poppers?

Johnson is likely too embarrassed to show his face in public.

No, they're in holiday mode now. 6 week jollies just in time for end of restrictions. Then they can put us in lockdown when they get back.

newnortherner111 · 18/07/2021 11:09

No press conference because that could suggest people in Downing Street are not self-isolating (see announcement of a few minutes ago).

BJ is isolating at Chequers, SJ at home, Rishi wherever. Do you really want them to wheel out Dominic Raab or Michael Gove?

SophieB100 · 18/07/2021 12:10

Oh yes please, wheel out Dominic Raab Wink

Get Ms Patel to do it, she can stand on her step again

Suranjeep · 18/07/2021 12:33

Love that cheeky smile she had

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 18/07/2021 12:34

They can all fuck off

Dustyboots · 18/07/2021 12:36

I’m actually loving this. Feel terrible saying that. But it’s hugely entertaining. A proper proper pantomime.

Mindymomo · 18/07/2021 13:04

Whitty and Valence could do it on their own and tell us what they really want us to hear. We haven’t seen much to JVT either, don’t mind him as he tells it as it is.

They are all in on this, else they'd have quit
BarbaraofSeville · 18/07/2021 14:22

I like to think Whitty at least is staying in because he's a professional who doesn't want to leave the country in the lurch and he's also gathering material for the inevitable book, public speaking and interviews afterwards.

A year or two of that will allow him to retire somewhere nice where he can spend the rest of his life doing whatever he wants to.

BarbaraofSeville · 18/07/2021 14:25

But yes, assuming there would have been a Boris, Sajid and another top tier podium bod doing a conference tomorrow, there's going to be some hasty rearranging.

Perhaps they should do it on video screens with a 'look what a shower of shit we are' backgrounds.

HoliHormonalTigerlilly · 18/07/2021 17:42

Honestly what do you think they are "in on" ? @Suranjeep

I mean, I think they are all a bunch of c**ts don't get me wrong. But besides being completely out of touch, inept, racist, twats I am unclear as to what people think the big secret is..,? Hmm

Yep why can't they just do it on zoom? 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's almost as if modern technology doesn't exist.

Cornettoninja · 18/07/2021 17:58

They may as well release a tik tok dance for all the credibility they have left.

Imagine scoring so highly obtaining vaccines only to embarrass yourself so much you wipe out any gains from that…

Can’t wait to listen to the radio tomorrow!

CrunchyCarrot · 18/07/2021 18:01

As long as he doesn't do a football penalty analogy - I don't think I could bear it!

PomRuns · 18/07/2021 18:41

Chris Whitty is a highly respected dr who worked in itu over Christmas. We’d be in a far worse position without his input.

newnortherner111 · 18/07/2021 19:49

@Suranjeep that would mean a third press conference led by a woman, as opposed to the hundred led by men. Probably a bit too far for this government and its misogyny.

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 18/07/2021 19:55

If I can teachy class of 5 and 6 year olds all day tomorrow on zoom they can bloody well do the press conference via zoom.

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 18/07/2021 19:55

Teach my

DigitalGhost · 18/07/2021 20:07

More shocked there wasn't one tonight with a typical Boris U-turn.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 18/07/2021 22:30

I think it might ruin the optics if you have to give your great freedom speech on zoom because you are self-isolating.

LaurieFairyCake · 18/07/2021 22:42

I LOVE the idea of Freedom Day on Zoom GrinGrinGrin

Can you IMAGINE the clown 🤡 memes over the top of their images from now and for all eternity

It just tickles the fuck out of me
