So why the fark wasn't it actually announced?
This leaking rather than transparent communication is catastrophically poor.

Hello decadence
Which is code for ‘I don’t agree but can’t construct a coherent argument, so will troll instead’.
No idea. But widely reported.
It wasn't the clearest of speeches. Maybe it was added at the last minute.

Yeah very strange.. i might think of Boris Johnson as an incapable career politician(although my impression he didn't do as bad as mayor of London) However that's still better as someone who sympathizes with terrorist.

Neil Ferguson should have waited a bit. He could have had a quickie in the park.

Parliament is sovereign. The public is not. It's a union of kingdoms, not a union of the peoples, ever closer or not. Get used to it, plebs!

Quick scout around the web and Johnson speech is getting a right panning from all sources -
Some manufacturers groups aren't happy and neither are tjhe london Chamber of commerce.
Richard Burge, chief executive of London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is urging businesses not to return to work tomorrow saying it would be “foolish” until explicit guidance from the prime minister.
(Good luck with that)
I think Johnson has been rumbled on this one tonight. So far he has got away with making a headline speech - then in the small print saying something different. People haven't gone for it this time. Everyone is asking for precise guidance.

I did try to watch with an open mind but its really vague. like trying to cover all the bases by not really comitting to anything.

Gauging public reaction to tonight’s vagueness so they know which details to make up for tomorrow

The question really is would A.N. Tory or Starmer do a better job ? - because Corbyn isn't an option anymore.
Boris is a folk hero at the moment - even after tonights speech. But even he must know he isn't untouchable.

Maybe, could be why after the leaks the speech was so poor, they tried to change tack by, not?

I wonder if Cummings was pushing for this peak time TV statement as a chance for Boris to appear statesmanlike.
If so it didn't work. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
