Are the government really leaving this decision to the councils and schools so they can blame education for messing up kids chances?
Make a decision Gavin ffs

How can we be the only country hitting 50000 infections every day? Why are we so bad?

They are probably briefing Williamson on how to ‘crack the unions’ after his failure last time.
What does Keir Starmer have to say I wonder

It didn’t work in 2010 or 2015 - can’t see how the fuck it will work in 2024 or 2029, especially given what has happened, and the ever-looming climate catastrophe we will face.

No, we don't. The city mapper and Google movement data don't show UK cities to be any lower than anywhere else

Don’t see why. The man’s not PM. I’m sat here trying to work out if it’s safe for me to go to work or my kids to go to school. I make more tough decisions than that overpaid over stuffed prick.

There is absolutely no reason for you or me to work anywhere but from home. School one is tricky - think schools will be closed till 18/1

I just want the government to make these decisions Pete.
Work is using vague government guidance about “if you can” to claim I have to go in.
Should I keep my girls off to keep my Dad safe? When one of them is in her SATs year? I’ve got no faith. It feels like we’ve been intentionally confused then told it’s our job to work it out and if we don’t deaths are on us. Just total abdication of responsibility from our government.
Close the fucking schools until we know WTF is going on. We’re literally at the height of the pandemic if there has ever been cause for WFH and closed schools there’s one now surely?

Yeah if we did it before, it's unnerving if we don't do it now.

I just want some scrap to throw my rational brain. Some element of logic and reason for the decisions. It feels like it’s pulled out a fucking hat. Even with him apparently sat there saying it’s all great I’m still half expecting a late night press conference tonight saying everything is shut, or one a week in.
I’ve never felt this from a government before. Just a total sense of no plan and making it up as they go along during a National crisis.

Unfortunately Pete this government need the obvious to smack them in the face several times before it becomes obvious to them and they can make the right decision so expect either a last minute U turn or for the kids to go back only to go off a week later and then having to spend more time off school than they would have had they just not sent them back in the first place.

Yup, that's it. I could actually get behind the herd immunity plan as it did seem like a plan! It was later shown to be flawed so they changed direction - fine, such is the way of a pandemic.
Since then... fucking useless. Over nine months to sort out a strategy, and we have less of one than when we began!

Doubled down primary school parents should send them to school apart from London and south east
Schools are safe
Risks tiny
To pupils and staff! Don’t see how he can say that
Saga can’t open schools and on top of new variant
Johnson says evidence not clear - he’s waiting to see if it’s going to work. He’s such an idiot
Driven by public health. He doesn’t accept schools need to be shut to get on top of it
Talking long term damages mental health deprivation etc other consequences
What’s he going to do to Brighton? No legal action this time
No doubt in his mind schools are safe
He says we’ve kept them open!!!! He hasn’t - teachers have
He’s still in hopeful optimism mode - tit he doesn’t learn
Local authority’s are going there own way. He doesn’t accept this and for public health reasons they should keep primary schools open
Again we are ramping up testing - who is we?? He’s not testing anything
Few weeks and months before vaccine is in place.
Will they open on. 18th? Can’t guarantee it.
Exam question now. Need to be realistic about spread of new variant. Didnt really answer about exams. Maybe tougher in different areas of the country using the same set of tools
Tier 5? Obviously a range of tougher measures but he’s not going to speculate about them
57000 cases today so when ?? Pm very difficult months. Bumbling now and didn’t answer exams
Tougher restrictions not yet!! Knob head
Vaccines thought 30m then down to 4m
He didn’t know the numbers ready to go but it wasn’t anywhere near that much.
Need to be 2m a week - praised the Astra Zeneca vaccine but didn’t give assurances of getting to this point. Everyone working flat out. Promised tens of millions in the next few months
Talk about how we got here
July -,report in the winter. Have you read it? Danger of mutation - warned in advance - stop community transmission and we didn’t
Be clear the government has done everything it could but new variant has messed everything up.
He’s now talking about lockdown all year. Marr being pretty good on this show.
He’s pretty much saying the deaths were a price to pay for keeping the economy going. He’s probably right
Blaming the mutation but marr had already pointed out the report said this was sensible to consider
He really doesn’t want to act he’s a hopeless optimist. He’s challenged him now saying he’s waiting too long each time
He’s saying yes really they are reticent to lockdown
