The statement being broadcast live this evening is in the most literal way possible nothing of the sort, it is pre-recorded and as such not a live statement but a tactical one from the PM.
It will also not require or allow any journalists to ask questions.
Following PMQ’s last Tuesday, restrictions were brought in by the PM live on television without any debate or announcement in Parliament, contrary to the requests of his parliamentary colleagues the same afternoon.
The parliamentary debate is scheduled for this coming Tuesday and is already facing huge opposition from his own party through Tory rebels now numbering more than 60.
Overlooking proper procedure last week was an attempt by the PM to dispense with many processes of proper due diligence to cause maximum chaos, tonight will see a second. As a consequence he hopes headlines reporting his anarchistic approach to managing the pandemic and his government, will overtake those of his law breaking misdemeanour’s. He is more used to dodging the first category, and they are a lesser immediate threat.
The PM clearly places the priority of saving his own skin ahead of anything else, he simply doesn’t care about the lives and welfare of the electorate, and he certainly doesn’t care one jot about businesses and jobs.
For all in hospitality, the actions of this man only lead to one outcome, more losses in every way imaginable. He needs to be stopped, and he needs to be stopped now. Please write to your MP, especially if they are Conservative, and implore them to get rid of the PM before he condemns even more lives and livelihoods to memories.
