Only one is at the arse end of nowhere though. Geography makes a massive difference I'm sorry but borders are under our control and people have been going to NZ. Other countries have followed a zero covid policy and are similarly open internally. I was sceptical whether it would turn out to be the right policy. At the moment, it shits all over ours. No they are not. Northern Ireland? |

We really aren’t in control of them are we. We ship import and export a lot to the continent and there’s clearly a steady stream of illegal indivduals from across the channel. Heathrow is a hub for a lot of air traffic and quite crucial for transatlantic travel. |

That first question absolutely floored Johnson, didn't it?
He actually had no idea, at all.

I wouldn’t want a bore who’s spent all year criticising people and being locked away hidden under the sofa with Sky News on repeat in my house at Christmas anyway so it’s a win win. |

He actually said he sincerely hoped that she WASN'T going to work, when that isn't the rule. As you know, it's something I was banging on about ages ago. I think it's a perfectly valid question and I still believe that the REAL reason they changed the rules was because they know that they can't afford to lose all the teachers who had been shielding originally. |

Xmas cancelled, Boris gets my vote Resigned ourselves it’ll be just the three of us at Xmas months ago as Boris the Buffoon hasn’t got a friggin clue what to do next, been under the weather myself for two days now so had a test this afternoon and hopefully I’ll be OK for Xmas, insane that this time last year it was China’s problem and we were going about normal day to day life, not giving a shit, when in reality it was always going to hit us, and we did, well nothing to soften the blow. |

My Mrs has just said Boris will be the most unpopular leader at Christmas since King Herod. Made me laugh 🤣
Perhaps not historically accurate but funny.

I said months ago that Boris would be gone by Xmas...I'm maybe out by a couple of weeks but surely he has to step down now.Only a few days ago he set out the Xmas rules knowing what was going on around the country...now it all changes yet again !
Boris is so out of his depth I "almost "feel sorry for him but he has to resign asap...I ain't got a clue who could replace him but please get him gone.

It sounds like it is this new 70% more transissable mutant version of this virus which has torn through Kent and on to the rest of the South-East.
This is inreasingly a story with no good news, no good answers and no saving grace.

Dont normally respond on this thread as I have been lucky enough (in some way) to have been full time essential retail since this shit storm started, but this question/answer to Boris during the press questions really gets me
Sam Coates from Sky News asks the prime minister what he would say to people who now face spending Christmas alone.
The PM says elderly people or lonely people will have the "consolation" of being able to form bubbles with other households - the rules around forming bubbles hasn't changed.
He adds that he "bitterly regrets" that strict measures are necessary, and that he knows how much "care and thought" goes into preparations.
But he says this is the year to "lift a glass to those who aren't there" - knowing there will be a "better chance they will be there next year to celebrate with you"
Lift a glass to those who aren't there? Boris....you really are taking the piss out of the people! People who will now be on their own, people who will have lost loved ones & friends asking them to raise a glass? I will raise a glass of the malt I have to one side when you get kicked out of no.10 once this what is turning into a farce of an episode is done with.
Clueless & showing it

My Christmas plans are cancelled then. 7.5kg turkey for me, the wife and a 5yr old and 1yr old.
Good forward planning by the government once more. Absolute shambles.
I’m in London by the way. I bet loads will ignore the new rules.

I think you're right, I noticed at one point in the briefing, Vallance described the original variant as the 'other' virus. |
