@toomuchlaundry

She always likes to get in first!
People on here have been saying they just want to know one way or another. She's done this and yet people still need to get a dig. Wouldn't you rather know now to have time to changes plans etc, or leave it to last minute.

@Brighton5555

From Bojo in case anyone didn’t guess who I meant …. I personally can’t wait
Why?

Pigs might fly also

@Lottapianos

Well here's an announcement from me - Boris Johnson can absolutely go and fuck himself. Very hard and for a very long time. Ditto the rest of his godforsaken cabinet
Seconded!
NewBeta · 21/12/2021 16:50

Just announced on LBC 5pm

Santahatesbraisedcabbage · 21/12/2021 16:51

Maybe it's a universal invite to his Christmas party?

NotSonicTheHedgehog · 21/12/2021 16:51

Here’s an announcement I’d like to make

quiteathome · 21/12/2021 16:52

I wish the leaders of the UK would just work together.
I would also like to know now what is going to happen so an announcement tomorrow would be handy.

Laiste · 21/12/2021 16:53

@NewBeta

Just announced on LBC 5pm
What is? The announcement today?
IcedPurple · 21/12/2021 16:54

I don't see any reports of this 'announcement', which is odd given it's supposedly only 7 minutes away.

If there is an 'announcement', it's probably not going to feature any major news if it's at 5 rather than 8.

MarshaBradyo · 21/12/2021 16:54

Better be just Sunak’s stuff more money

RedToothBrush · 21/12/2021 16:55

This is a 'does a bear shit in the woods' thread.

Also. Yes the Pope is Catholic.

LuluBlakey1 · 21/12/2021 16:55

My 5pm daily announcement would include:

  1. An update on today's toddler tantrums- with slides
  2. Medical updates on DH's fractured bone in his foot (this morning's drama) - which has meant we've had to call off our Christmas Day plan this afternoon. News about his operation- tomorrow. Avoiding giving a public explanation of how he did it because people might think he's an idiot.
  3. Possible scenarios for what we can do now instead on Christmas Day - which will no doubt involve ME going out doing additional food shopping tomorrow/Thursday and spending Christmas Day cooking it and taking 3 x DC out for a walk at some point.
  4. Questions from the Press about any of the above.

Probably just going to copy Sturgeon!!

@LuluBlakey1 we want to know about the foot now? How did he break it? This is more important than an announcement.

LuluBlakey1 · 21/12/2021 17:01

[quote quiteathome]@LuluBlakey1 we want to know about the foot now? How did he break it? This is more important than an announcement.[/quote]
I am sworn to public silence I'm afraid. Can't afford any leaks getting out and causing professional embarrassment. It's not very exciting but he feels he could be made to look very stupid. Hmm

SusanHalf · 21/12/2021 17:02

Boris has just confirmed no new measures before Christmas

notthemum · 21/12/2021 17:02

I hope you're ready @lottapianos. It's a minute to five. By the way, I have cheese and wine. I'm just putting them on trays

godmum56 · 21/12/2021 17:02

breaking Boris says no further restrictions before christmas, has not ruled out restrictions after christmas

CaroleFuckingBaskin · 21/12/2021 17:03

Good

OhLittleBoreOfWhabylon · 21/12/2021 17:03

BBC BJ has announced there will be no new covid restrictions before Christmas.

Benjispruce5 · 21/12/2021 17:03

Why do the Scottish and a Welsh leaders have to lead the way every time? It’s quite embarrassing BJ, no wonder they want independence.

Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin · 21/12/2021 17:03

@WeAreTheHeroes

Christmas will be on. New Year's Eve will be off is my guess. Support for the hospitality industry already announced, in the form of loans or grants.
I think this too
Brighton5555 · 21/12/2021 17:03

Can’t wait cos I’m due to travel
Abroad 3 weeks today and wouod Ike some indication! Pah!

Also. Yes the Pope is Catholic.

I used to know a lovely old lady who said the Pope was Jewish because he wears a yarmulke. She was Jewish herself
