Yup. 
He'll probably call it tier 6 for everywhere except the Scilly Isles so he doesn't have to call it a national lockdown!

Bet Boris has bought his Ocado one already, before announcing the lockdown, which is insider trading really...

They are all pretty good to be perfectly honest but Sainsbury's through information they received from the relevant authorities contacted me to say while coronavirus restrictions are in place l am on their priority list.

It’s a done deal. Sir Keir eventually fell off the fence in favour of closing schools, and he wouldn’t have done that had he not been 100% certain of a u-turn. Heaven forbid he ended up having to spend the next week opposing Government policy.

Another u turn from him.

Re: Coronavirus
This isn't good news
Quote:
The South African variant of coronavirus may be resistant to vaccines and more difficult to pick up through testing, scientists have warned, as they called for the immediate closure of borders.
Health Secretary, Matt Hancock said he was "incredibly worried" about the new mutation saying it was "even more of a problem than the UK variant."
The variant was picked up in Britain in December, and there are fears it may spread even more quickly than the Kent mutation which has caused an alarming spike in cases, hospital admissions and deaths.
Jeremy Hunt, the former health secretary, has called for an immediate 12 week lockdown and a closure of Britain’s borders and schools.
He said: “To those arguing winter is always like this in the NHS: you are wrong. I faced four serious winter crises as health secretary and the situation now is off-the-scale worse than any of those.”
The South African variant carries two mutations at key areas of the gene which builds the spike protein – a projecting arm that the virus uses to attach to human cells.

He'll usually let Downing Street's press officers Laura K and Peter P break any bad news before he does.

The problem is he’s trying to offer polite opposition rather than meaningful opposition, while always trying to appear “ahead” of the curve. Trying to pre-empt this Government is a farcical ask.
Only yesterday we had Pierre very confident schools wouldn’t close because they wouldn’t send them in to close them after a week. Now, dealing with a capable, competent Government that should generally hold up - they’d assess the data and have the courage of their convictions to see it through.
Unfortunately this isn’t what we have. We get reactionary change after reactionary change.
