When was the Xmas decision taken?

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Sir Charles Walker, the vice-chairman of the Tory backbench 1922 Committee, said he believed ministers knew before Friday that they would be cancelling Christmas.

“I suspect the government knew they were going to cancel Christmas on Wednesday and Thursday when they were still telling the House of Commons they planned to press ahead,” he told BBC Radio 4’s The World This Weekend.

“I think many colleagues find that extremely egregious. The Christmas period was passed into law by the House of Commons in a vote after a debate.

“The view of most colleagues was for that to be changed, another vote would be required in the House of Commons. So I suspect a decision was delayed until we were safely away back to our constituencies.”

Almost reads like some Tories wanted a vote on the last minute restrictions to vote it down and continue with the 5 day relaxation...

Mutated virus spreading quicker than the last and he put London in tier 2.

The worry is who replaces him.

Gove is next in line in the dynasty, which I agree is worrying. Time for that government of national unity.

Daft thing is that the Covid Research Group, who actually know sweet fa about Covid, want to remove restrictions not make them tighter. What can possibly go wrong?

Either

a) they knew and they lied

or

b) they missed the massive surge in cases

Either way they are utterly hopeless

Well speaking as someone who hates the Tories I wouldn't want it to be someone competent. They might get back in at the next GE.

They definitely will regardless. Its witchcraft or summar, but it's happening.

(Labour are continously blamed for the last ten years and this current covid mess).

People have had no choice but to vote Tory. Labour have become an embarrassment.

What a shite get out. It's not a one or other. A hung parliament would've been a lot better than this cluster fuck. Imagine (as many did) lending them your vote over Brexit and them completely f***ing that up anarl

It's like turning an oil tanker after the Corbyn debacle. But Starmer handing Johnson his arse on a plate every week is helping it get there.

That's bollocks mind.

Labour are shite but so are the Tories, they also happen to be racist, classist wankers detached from reality on top of being shite, but apparently the country wants that too, merely being shite is insufficiently awful

Utter bollocks, stop making excuses.

Not sure most of the public ever watch PMQs. It's all about the bullshit on Facey in the weeks leading up to the GE.

Who you vote for isn't a binary choice.
