PM under pressure over bike ride seven miles from No 10

lets stop the speculation
he went to the olympic park to remind himself of the last time did anything remotely tenuously useful!

Put on a sports day?

Put on a sports day?

Kind of.

Boris Johnson left hanging on zip wire during Olympic event



At least given his form no-one can say calling him Bozo (as in the clown) is a derogatory term.

Put on a sports day?

He's very good at claiming and naming the last administration's successes after himself, yet leaves behind tulip when he leaves.

Anyone for some water cannon? Or would you like a garden bridge?

Parents are allowed to have contact with children under 18 they don't live with and it doesn't count as a bubble.

Rules for England are here - Coronavirus (COVID-19): guidance and support - GOV.UK

Yes, that's the Boris Clause...

Since nobody's actually helped Boris with a list of parks which are closer to SW1 than Stratford, I'll start with a few:
St James's Park
Green Park
Hyde Park
Regents Park
Battersea Park (if he doesn't mind going south of the river)
Quite possibly Greenwich Park, although that's tough on a bike.

Any more?

"Boris Johnson spotted despite Covid guidance ‘you should not travel outside your local area’

Boris Johnson is under pressure to clarify details of a Sunday bike ride seven miles from his Downing Street residence after No 10 refused to say whether he was driven there.

Parkgoers spotted Johnson cycling in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic park in Stratford, east London, along with his security detail, at about 2pm on Sunday.

A Downing Street source said the prime minister was exercising within the rules but would not give further details as to whether Johnson cycled from his Westminster residence or was transported there by car.

“The PM follows Covid-secure guidelines. It does not say in the regulations that driving somewhere to take exercise is a breach of the rules. That is not a comment on the PM’s case but the rules only say remain local,” the source said. "
