6 months of these restrictions. What’s happening in March 🤔

Coronavirus Act 2020 needs reratification end of March 2021.

Purely administrative.

I guess March is when we’d be looking at the R naturally falling down because it’s coming into the summer, so even if there’s no vaccine by then we could see some temporary relaxations before lockdown 3.0 roughly this time next year. 

Depends on when it comes down from its peak I guess - if its still falling off come March, little might change in the way of social interactions. Its all about the vaccine I think now!

Serious Boris today.

Ignored Starmer’s question about support for the hospitality industry though.

These rules won't stay in place for 6 months, because there will be harsher lockdowns before 6 months is up.

So we’re all expecting to WFH until March at the earliest then? I keep saving £250 a month on train costs (and better work/home balance) if so - so no complaining from me on that one!!

Also completely ignored the fact that the restrictions in Leicester and Bolton haven’t stopped the issues there.

Can Ian Blackford ask a question in less than 5 mins?

You can always tell when he's skirting around something as his rate of talking rockets.  It's like someone sprinting past a house with a scary dog in it.

Like a randy alcoholic jumping out of a bedroom window when a scary husband arrives.

Just.

Now can Boris actually answer it?

No was the answer, obviously.

I think this will come up in the budget, it has to. Those of us who are lucky enough to not only keep our jobs but are also saving since we're not spending will have to be taxed. That would be fair - tax us to help support the poor sods who can't work or have been fired as a result of this effing virus.

[squirrelarmy]

Ah it’s all our fault.

I agree and would be happy to contribute - but would be almost impossible to manage/enforce.

Absolute nonsense. You haven’t been able to spend because of things being shut, so let’s just take your money off you? 
 

“Lucky enough to keep our jobs”, you mean working full time for effectively 20% of your wages? Even less than that if your employer enforced a pay cut.

He's got his new phrase in "putting arms around everyone" hasn't he? Flogging that for all he can

[ace56blaa]

So still no plan for extending furlough or replacing beyond, "Just work you fucking bastards," businesses are going to shut, theres people still on furlough waiting to see if they'll be let go at the end of october" (Like me) and yet no plan whatsoever

Didn’t a Tory MP recently get arrested for putting his arms where he shouldn’t?
