Another national lockdown will be an embarrassment for him. I can’t believe he’d go for it.

BREAKING: Sky News understands that Prime Minister, Boris Johnson will announce tonight that ALL of England will move in to a Tier 4 system, which means a national lockdown, everything closes except Schools and Universities and essential shops and construction businesses.

All of England to be plunged into a new Tier 4,

Sky News understands

• All pubs and restaurants to close
  
• Non-essential retail to close - though supermarkets won't have to cordon off any areas
  
• No mixing outside homes
  
• Schools and universities to remain open
  
• Construction and courts to remain open

The new measures will last until 2 December, Sky political editor Beth Rigby understands

So much so they have removed their pinned tweet on social media.

I don’t understand why he went so hard against it only days/weeks ago. He had great fun mocking Starmer for it and ruling it out in interviews. Given SAGE had advised it and at the time cases were rising he must have known he might have to do it. Why not leave yourself an out?

Given the consequences this will have on the economy and peoples lives I think they deserve some leeway to try everything they can to avoid it but the bombastic way in which they’ve dismissed it makes them look like idiots without a plan.

Well ........not really a “lockdown” is it. Basically they have sacrificed the pub/restaurant sector on the altar of COVID 19, when there’s no real evidence ( that I have seen) that they are the breeding grounds for infection.

More half-arsed, I’ll thought knee-jerk reaction.

PA reckons the press conference has been pushed back again. It is now expected at 6.30pm...

Re: Coronavirus
 

The "hospitality sector" might not be the places people get infected often, but the crowds milling about back-and-forth could be.

:dunce:

I walked into a supermarket yesterday (prescriptions to collect) and was shocked by the crowds of families loading trolleys like it was the end of the world. I got in-and-out in minutes.

BJ has probably locked himself in his bedroom, and refusing to come out... :erm:

Re: Coronavirus
 

Isn't the lock on the outside? :)

6:30 i'll be starting on my Hammer Horror film boxset, so he'll have to shift it again.

And Carrie has hidden the key... :D

Re: Coronavirus
 

Maybe the delays are because the Cabinet don't fully agree or there is trouble from backbench MPs. ;)
