as for boris, just no.
politics before people, as always.

Yeah, a pre-recorded address to the nation is clearly just an attempt by Johnson to regain control of his reputation by trying to act the statesman for 15 mins. He's clearly feeling the heat.

sadly people are happy with this. even his forgotten red wall.

Laying the foundations for Jan 2022 lockdown I fear. It seems an inevitable at the moment.

Alas, I think you might be right.

last time he gave a pre recorded speech to the nation was full lockdown wasn't it?

So its either that or avoiding journalist questions (most likely claiming paternity leave as the reason or something)

Announcing the name of his latest addition?
Nothing would surprise me!

'Boris Johnson is due to give a televised address to the nation at 8pm. Apparently there will be no major new announcements and no questions allowed from journalists either. Unclear why broadcasters still feel compelled to run it.'

They should tell him to bugger off

Break up on 23rd here. I think it is most likely to get something else in the papers tomorrow.

maybe its a resignation speech?

Will he resign?

@Sparklingbrook

Maybe he watches Top Gear at 8pm so can't do it live?

Maybe he has a party or pub quiz to get to?

"Carrie and I are delighted to announce the birth of our daughter Rona Iris Johnson"

That's a good point. Oh well not too panicked about another lock down in that case!

Can someone give us the details. At work and can't watch. Thx

@heelforheelandtoefortoe 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Quite possible.

He'll just tell everyone to get a booster again i reckon..
(which of course a lot of people are having trouble actually doing)

Am I going mad, I can't see this on either BBC or ITV. Where is it being televised?

It's the booster chat !

He looks very tired.

And scruffy.
