They wait for him with knives between their teeth. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will convene his government on Monday to discuss a new package of health measures to tackle the Omicron variant.

The cabinet isn’t the only place Bozo could face a slinging blow this week. British lawmakers set to sit on Tuesday in an emergency in Westminster could be called on to vote on “Plan C” against Omicron. It would be voted on only fifteen days after “Plan B”, which generated a major revolt within the conservative camp, with 99 lawmakers refusing to comply with their prime minister against the health measures.
