Oh I know , Boris Johnson is a cad and a liar and doesn't deserve much sympathy, but he has had a shit time of it and losing his mum must have been hard too.
He probably wishes he wasn't PM sometimes . I know I wouldn't want his job with this pandemic going on , your between a rock and a hard place constantly.

@Rollergirl11

DH works for one of the big media owners. He says the government cover wrap will be to do with the booster program drive and not any kind of special announcement. The wrap has been arranged for some time.
very useful thanks

@Tealightsandd
I really liked Keir to start with but now he just seems wet.
Every time I see him I want to know what he would be doing and he only ever details what he wouldn’t do- ie what the Tories are doing.
I can’t tell what he would do to make a definitive positive change for the good of the country.
No wonder N Shropshire went Lib Dem.
I am in a Tory/ Labour swing seat btw.

It's just a 4 page ad on the outside of all the newspapers, with the newspaper inside, the gov did plenty of these since March 2020. It will be on their websites as well

the80sweregreat · 19/12/2021 18:11

I don't like Sir Kier Starmer either , he is bland , jumps on band wagons and probably be better off going back to his old job
I like the shadow health secretary, Streeting , he seems a bit more with it.
Labour need a new leader badly.

Lizz Truss taking over as Brexit neg

PartyPrawnRingGames · 19/12/2021 18:20

Brexit Nag? Normally I would think it a sexist job title for a woman but suits her.

Maskless · 19/12/2021 18:26

So what happened, what did they say at 1700?

Motorina · 19/12/2021 18:28

@Maskless cobra meeting, not press conference. We won't know what's said until people start leaking it.

Youaremypenguin · 19/12/2021 18:28

Do we know anymore yet?

TheHOHOHOnlyMrsM · 19/12/2021 18:31

No, no, no. Not a COBRA meeting, a CONGA meeting.

PartyPrawnRingGames · 19/12/2021 18:31

Give them a chance they are only just onto the second bottle of wine.

MarshaBradyo · 19/12/2021 18:34

No rush here.

Christmas first..

the80sweregreat · 19/12/2021 18:35

Conga meeting !
Love the conga , reminds me of my youth.
Bit like the Hokey Cokey and Agga do.

@RedToothBrush

Andrew Ducker *@andrewducker* Something is afoot.
It's a national ad campaign to encourage us to get our boosters, nothing especially 'afoot' with that!
the80sweregreat · 19/12/2021 18:45

Dum de dum , I'd love to be a fly on the wall ( or a bug in the phone)
.

😁 I really need to know. I've booked to take my kids away after Christmas as their Christmas present 🙄. If it's cancelled I need another plan
the80sweregreat · 19/12/2021 18:46

We won't know anything today anyway
Go to the daily Mail website on the morning !!
.. leaks on there no doubt

MarshaBradyo · 19/12/2021 18:47

Every day they don’t hit me with announcements and leaks is good

TheHOHOHOnlyMrsM · 19/12/2021 18:47

Case, surely?
the80sweregreat · 19/12/2021 18:49

They have moved onto the cocktails by now surely ? Or the whiskey in Nicola's case
Probably talking shit and starting to ponder the meaning of life

nordica · 19/12/2021 18:50

The PM and Chancellor didn't even attend so can't imagine anything significant was decided.

the80sweregreat · 19/12/2021 18:51

Nope, rishi had sent an email saying ' pot is empty ' and sulking because he is back in foggy London after being in California , dreaming
PM is changing Romy's nappies ( or getting nanny to do it )

My post was meant to say "negotiator" NOT "neg".

Cyberspace stole the "otiator"
