"Just to cheer you up a little bit more, what I can tell you is the scientists are agreed about one thing - they do not think there is any case for going into reverse," he said. "But the context has radically changed because of the sheer number of people who have been vaccinated and particularly the elderly and vulnerable.

Mr Johnson said the situation at present was"dramatically different from what it was in either of the first two waves of the pandemic".

Fast forward to June 20. Boris Johnson will say blah blah blah, higher than expected, blah blah, delta variant, blah blah, followed the science. It’s a done deal- stop bullshitting everyone. It will be delayed. My guess is 4 weeks.

Only because you lot are leading him up a blind alley

Boris Trump needs to stop all this and let people live there life's, the Virus isn't going anywhere so if you unlock now or even in 10 yrs time it's still going to be around

Boris Johnson to announce 21 June lockdown exit will be delayed, reports sayPrime minister expected to announce decision on Monday Just get on with it rather than torturing people with the vague leaks and utterly confusing messaging. The government is shambolic and there are no words to describe PM. Will he be announcing this from the G7 in Cornwall, where it would appear that all social distancing rules have completely flown out of the window. Freedom Day. Delay it and rename it Boris Day. Freedom is bit more complex.
