I bet we're not allowed to meet up with other households inside or outside pretty soon. NS has already introduced it in Scotland and Boris should have done it now. Rishi Sunak has got to him.

Well either way we have tough times ahead.

I spent much of the time watching Johnson’s hands gestures and trying to work out if he’s left-handed instead of listening.

Sturgeon preached at us like she was in some pulpit.

I don’t remember what either of them said.

Well, I know he wasn’t listening. I meant that I found it so distracting that I wasn’t listening.

I hate his face but that was better than I expected... Just much much too late

Boris produced waffle and I now remember virtually nothing of his address.
NS was clear, knowledgeable and sympathetic.
Meaningful and moving.
No comparison.

I thought Nicola Sturgeon did a better job of it than Boris.

He said nothing we didn’t already know.
10 minutes I’ll never get back.
Never mind he showed his face and made a fair attempt at combing his hair for once.

Why did he bother? Usual amount of waffle and no clear directives. Why doesn’t he quit if he can’t deal with this competently and let somebody more more capable take over. But who?
