Plan B: Working from home back and Covid passports needed for big events, PM announces

39 comments
  1. Is the working from home mandatory? That’s what I’m trying to work out. I can’t tell if they’re enforcing it or simply suggesting it.

  2. What a tosser this PM is. An absolute clown. It genuinely makes me feel sick just watching him bumble through these press conferences.

  3. How amazing that BJ can walk on those legs onto the podium to deceive and divert the conversation considering he has no spine. Bloody invertebrate.

    Every time someone asks him about the party he starts talking about the vaccine rollout.

  4. How do the govt expect this to be followed, when the govt has just been caught not following rules themselves? People seem to be implying, strategically, the timing was good on Johnson’s part.. but to me it feels the timing was pretty damaging

  5. So this guidance just puts England inline with the other devolved nations? If that’s the case this surely won’t make not the slightest bit of difference as Omnicron is spreading just as fast in the devolved nations.

  6. Wonder how long this will be for…

    I swear my work (public University) was told about this in advance. Seems a massive coincidence they suggested WFH again last week – same as the first time WFH was suggested.

    Was speaking to someone who now thinks we’ll be back in the office April 2022

  7. Pippa Crerar- Boom! From what she’s just said, there’s a much meatier part of the story to come. Parties with Bojo in attendance!

  8. Honestly thought he was coming on to resign lol, how can he ask anyone to follow the new rules after today? Wtf

  9. Perhaps I read this wrongly but his response to the mandatory vaccination questions suggested that they were going to go through with it if boosters are found to work. Either that or implement the harsh vaccine passport policies of Austria etc. He said that he had stated at the beginning that they would never have vaccine mandates, but then vaguely said conversations needed to be had. Technically barring those without covid vaccinations from most places isn’t mandatory vaccination, so I am wondering if that’s what he was referring to without saying it. Terrifying really as my mother developed 3 blood clots from her second dose, and I have a blood clot currently, so we wouldn’t risk having any further vaccinations.

  10. Nope. Not for me, thanks.

    How anybody can think they have a modicum of credibility after todays shit show really needs the insides of their heads looking at. I won’t listen to this charade and these clowns any longer.

  11. This is pretty much 95% because of the party, shameful.

    I don’t think we’re that far from a few riots weather dependent, people I know who barely follow politics are livid.

  12. So everyone has to work from home, but Christmas parties are still okay, yeah?

    Thank you Alex for clearing that one up

  13. I’m a temp and can’t WFH. My permanent colleagues can though, so with no one to let me in the office I’m unemployed and have no income again. Just in time for Christmas. Yay.

  14. Interesting that the restrictions apply everywhere, except hospitality like pubs and restaurants. That way if things go bad they can just blame the hospitality industry, which have just been told to do nothing, so can’t really blame them, but they will. Expect all pubs closed within a few weeks.

  15. It’s advisory, so asshole bosses will give zero fucks. Mate of mine has already been informed he’s still coming in even though he can 100% work remotely.

  16. Prior to this my office was ‘inviting’ us to attend the office voluntarily to ‘recalibrate our experience of the office environment ‘…I have worked there 5 years I remember what it’s like thanks

  17. They said they were going to review this on the 16th, but oh no, now suddenly it’s too urgent. This man has re-enacted extreme public health measures, including ones he said he objected to previously, out of personal embarrassment. How is that not treason?

  18. How the fuck am I supposed to work from home when a bunch of my mates are having a party there that I don’t know about?

  19. Gets caught breaking his own restriction rules, so he introduces new restrictions a day after with little to no resistance. He’s probably laughing his ass off.

  20. PSA, if you have iPhone (possibly also iPod touch) you can add your pass to your Apple wallet, in cases like this where the service is over utilised.
