    If nothing else this pandemic has greatly demonstrated this governments inability to start a press conference on time.

    You may be joking but it's a proper point - if you schedule a press conference for 4, then 5, then after 5pm put it back until 6.30, you are not in any way a serious government.

    No, I'm with you Jim. It was not intended as a joke. It gives off the impression of some sort of political equivalent of hastily scrawling down the homework you forgot to do up against a wall in the corridor before class. It's embarrassing. They want to inspire trust and confidence in people but can't evenly remotely stick to a pre-agreed time for a fucking announcement.

    Or run a tight enough ship that your plans don't keep getting leaked to the press and you don't have to go on television earlier than planned to save face in the first place. But that would almost certainly involve a degree of overall competence that doesn't currently exist inside Number 10.

    They are absolute fucking chancers with their time keeping, unless Dom thinks it is some master stroke because he did the same for his conference. But I think the majority of people have their piss boiled by bad time keeping, and on a Saturday night most people want to not be hanging on for an announcement.

    I know but it briefly interrupted my horror marathon to see some fucking relic with airpods in wittering about ICU capacity as time filler rather than just the mop head twat saying what the score is.

    The one thing I'd like to see from Bozjon in this one (if it ever happens) is him say sorry for fucking up whatever it is that they've fucked up for us all to have to go through this again.

    You cannot trust people to do the right thing. That's why governments exist.

    You're correct but the government being cunts gives more ammunition to everyone else, rightly or wrongly. Barnard Castle etc.

    Not a chance. He won't even apologize for being three hours late.

    From Tier 1 to Tier 4 inside a week.

    Massive lol at them manipulating that R graph there too. Bi monthly tracking all summer, then just merrily skip over September with a single entry to make the R jumping look far more sudden than it was.

    These guys are such twats. Big John from Leeds has already switched off. Too much insider talk and line graphs. Just give us the fucking layman version and tell us what the new rules are.

    This is the worst one of these he has done since the very beginning, by far. He looks like he has been dragged out of bed to do it and will be heading back there as soon as it's over.

    So, we're locking down with ~320 deaths recorded today (yesterday), and will end the lockdown in 4 weeks when the deaths will be substantially higher, yeah? Cool.

    Those sweary anon briefings are annoying, like they all think they're on The Thick Of It. Try using some elegant language appropriate to your alleged position.

    Shielding measures will not be reintroduced, but vulnerable people or those aged over 70 are told to be especially careful
    What a sentence.

    So they're predicting it to be worse than the first wave but they're not locking down as much?

    What has obviously happened (and this explains everything from the delays to the shambolic content and presentation when it finally happened) was that they were completely caught on the hop by somebody in the inner circle (Michael Gove) leaking out the vague idea of an impending lockdown yesterday and the rules haven't even begun to be written yet.

    Those few hours were spent desperately thrashing out something or other. Rishi tweeting that the furlough was extended was the first time anyone other than Boris/Rishi (including other cabinet members) knew a thing about it.

    It's basically tier three for everyone (or back to June for the adults), so another month off work seems unlikely. Gutted.

    They're predicting it to be worse than the first wave if we did nothing about it.
