SB’s reaction was absolutely jaw dropping - they’ve either found out about his double life or the data as you say WW has put the fear of god in him.

Boris Johnson was caught on the hop today due to details leaked to the media. From what’s been said this wasn’t due to be announced till Monday. He’s shown too often in the past he needs a well rehearsed script and if he’s forced to stray from it to reply to a question he looks out of his depth. My guess is he’s still rehearsing his speech till it meets with Cummings approval.

It must be about the money surely?

I would have thought so, but there are some furious backbenchers apparently, but their guru Steve Baker seems on board after going into No 10 all guns blazing then seeing the data which seems to have put the fear of god into him, so maybe the back benchers are on board?

That’s what MrGG13 just said, they are squabbling about furlough and income support ££££££££

Coming Boris Johnson I am bored now!!

Curlywhirly Sat 31-Oct-20 18:01:21

No, he's late because he's watching the rugby!

Whitewavemark2 Sat 31-Oct-20 17:56:53

Please, please let it be Cummings blood

suziewoozie Sat 31-Oct-20 17:54:57

Blood on the carpet. But whose?

EllanVannin Sat 31-Oct-20 17:54:27

No plates or plant-pots being thrown out of the windows yet grin

Whitewavemark2 Sat 31-Oct-20 17:52:35

Suggestion that Sunak is refusing to pay up.

merlotgran Sat 31-Oct-20 17:50:32

grin sw That's just what we've been saying and it might not be until 6.30 now.

suziewoozie Sat 31-Oct-20 17:48:24

There must be a hell of a row going on

merlotgran Sat 31-Oct-20 17:17:22

A lot of it has already been leaked.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 31-Oct-20 17:06:56

It sounds as if there is a lot of opposition from Tory MPs.

Trisha57 Sat 31-Oct-20 17:05:38

Sorry, I've been binge-watching "Humans" and got a bit carried away!

Trisha57 Sat 31-Oct-20 17:04:58

It's taking longer than expected to charge BJ's batteries!

Whitewavemark2 Sat 31-Oct-20 17:02:32

6.30 now folks.

Davida1968 Sat 31-Oct-20 16:06:29

I thought it was going to be at 4.00.p.m. so that Boris could watch the rugby at 4.45......

Awesomegranny Sat 31-Oct-20 15:59:17

All the panic buying starts again!

Grannybags Sat 31-Oct-20 15:58:14

Thanks for letting us know I would have missed that.

Oh well, here we go again ?

GrannySomerset Sat 31-Oct-20 15:52:30

Me too, Ellan, while DH watches rugby. If, as we expect, the news is bad I won’t hurt for not knowing instantly.

EllanVannin Sat 31-Oct-20 15:08:15

I've got soppy Christmas films on Ch 5 ,so missing everything.
