That useless fudge wit and his last second u turning. This is their biggest yet giving some folks <24hrs to sort out childcare arrangements which many won't have that option.

Doesn't matter though the Tories aren't losing poll leads.

Tories 4 points behind just before Christmas. Johnson's personal ratings way down
Read an article over the weekend that reckons neither party would gain overall control if there were an election now
Bearing in mind Tory's have an 80 seat majority and Labour are still tainted by Corbyn's leadership that should focus some minds at Conservative HQ

For me, as a Tory inclined voter who has given the benefit of the doubt at various points, the key crime here is the dithering. I get the thought process in March. I get Eat out to Help out etc. The vaccine programme is good. But time and again Boris dithers and doesn't want to make a decision, trails it in the press, vacillates and then takes the decision too late. Make a decision and move fast on it has to be the key lesson of the crisis.

What's staggering about it is the indecision in the big role from a man who thinks he's a latter day Churchill. He wasn't exactly trailing to the press that he might sink the French fleet.

With every jab that goes into our arms we’re tilting the odds away from Covid and in favour of the British people,” Johnson says. He says the end is in sight, and we know “exactly how we will get there.”

Was he a little slippy in his language on that; or was it my imagination ?

He said something like all the affected groups would have received the vaccine; nothing on them being fully vaccinated, i.e. getting both jabs, with potentially a 12 week gap before the people who got their first jab in mid-Feb, having to wait 3 months more, plus a couple of weeks before they have full coverage
