I assume they don't want it called a lockdown for dear of being sued under the trade description act as this isn't a lockdown at all.

What's the actual thinking behind Wales fencing off 'non essential' goods in supermarkets? I genuinely don't understand why there would be any additional risk in picking up a plantpot or whatever while you're in for food. Seems punitive for the sake of it.

Two official reasons. Firstly, they don't want people browsing any more than possible. Straight in, buy your essentials, straight out. Secondly, it's unfair on the smaller specialist retailers if they are forced to close while supermarkets can carry on selling the same items. Point two is undercut ever so slightly in that people will just buy it from Amazon instead.

I wonder if the delay is trying to get Johnson looking sober/not hung over enough for television, Sunak demanding less support schemes or Johnson threatening to resign if he's the one making the announcement and someone else should take the bullet.

So I can take this as gyms remaining open then. I'm kind of tempted to pack clothes and my pc into my car and drive to stay with my parents for the month long lockdown since my uni stuff has all been online only for weeks but since they've been good enough to keep uni's open I can't do that lol

Just when you think it can’t get any worse someone even crueller and more incompetent wins the hallowed crown. Being Labour leader doesn’t look like much fun, but I don’t think being leader of the Conservatives is all that jolly either.

I imagine it's like Saturn devouring his son but there's like twelve Saturn's and they're all wearing suits and eating children with the proper baby fork.

Boris is absolutely pissed out his face, isn't he? It feels like his alcoholism is one of those barely kept secrets like Prince Andrew being a nonce that'll come out after he's PM to drum up sympathy.
