Sick of this government now

We’ve just entered into this tier system. Give the bloody thing a chance to work. For god sake.

BorisCumLately will only realise the situation is already out of control when it is again too late. We lost the opportunity to take control after the first lockdown through a bodged T&T that he persists with - here we go again - into round 2.

How long will these restrictions last its been going on oh so long us mumz to grown up kids are getting tired of it we are tired just going to the shops Michelle south Yorks xx

How can he defend a policy that is doing nothing, in fact is grow to stop the pandemic

Boris doesnt rule out anything.what that means he is hedging his best and no doubt some sort of lockdown to come

Hedging his bets.

Oh look! Another economy-destroying-decision based on 'the science'.

Why aren’t you reporting on this

Lockdown when.

'Academic behind startling 'circuit breaker' study.. admit their death figures are wildly over-estimated and say they wish they'd never used them'

He dithered over the lockdown in March, and thousands died unnecessarily, then he opened up everything too early in the summer and now he’s ignored scientific advice to call a national lockdown now, him and his croonies keep saying is when we get a vaccine

You know what I think? The virus is not contagious if you get it a 2nd time, that's the reason they slowed down the 1st wave. Once enough people had it'll disappear as it's non contagious 2nd time, so they extented the 1st wave with LD to create a 2nd wave, that's murder IMO.

Johnson always looks a nervy stressed out wreck when he has to face Starmer.

Prolonging the inevitable. Lets just get back to normal. People will carry on as normal and access the risks to them for themselves.

Hi can people go to on hoilday in Blackpool on Monday

Nothing, that’s the word for the day

We’re absolutely fucked with this imbecile in charge. How are we supposed to have any faith in a man who looks like his mum cuts his hair?

COMB YOUR HAIR MAN!

For as long as he waffles & dawdles, we will get nowhere. He needs to forget about public opinion and focus on getting ahead of the game to end the spread or we'll still be here this time next year.....

He will be scurrying back to Number 10 pleading with his boss Dominic for a u turn on the Circut Breaker lock down

Starmer can't have it both ways in fact he is so clueless he can't remember what policies supports and what he doesn't.

As always it relies on people, who seem confused for the last three months, along with Captain Hindsight who jumps on any passing wagon hoping for a free ride

A liar doesn't have any courage.

The man with the £350m NHS bus.

Tell me he at least ruled out Thunderdome?

The man with the £350m NHS bus.

He rules out sacking Cummings though

Fascist dictatorship.

He needs to just forget about COVID now. It’s just ruining lives. I can’t even go to a football game ffs.

Boris Johnson threatens to overrule local leaders with fresh Covid measuresThe Prime Minister said the Government will offer local leaders more support in terms of test and trace and law enforcement, but will not hesitate to introduce more restrictions if needed Where is MASS TESTING Boris, as useful as a rubber beak to a woodpecker. Any similarity between Boris and a human is purely coincidental. He has diarrhoea of the mouth and constipation of the brain. Doesn’t know the meaning of the word decency but then again he doesn’t know the meaning of most words. Yeah right! Ok! When’s he growing balls then?
