I’m rewatching #westwing for the umpteenth time and each time I relate more and more to #tobyziegler. @Richard_Schiff really nailed it.

So apparently I can have up to 30 people in my hotel for a wedding from 14th May but no one else can eat until 1st June. So for 3 weeks can I host small receptions for tables of 2 or 4 in my restaurant off a wedding menu? #nonsenserules @BBCJayneMcC @JP_Biz @MichaelDeane61

Here’s what happened tonight at the NI Exec meeting .
Exec ‘thinking’ is to follow most of England new rules,including schools staying closed until mid Feb.
But the decision was NOT made tonight because papers setting out the facts to ministers will not be ready until tomorrow
So, once again we’re just left hanging by @niexecutive indecision. What do I tell my 11 year old about his exam in 4 days? What do I tell my work colleagues? What do I tell my guests? Leadership? Integrity? Decisiveness? All words alien to our @niexecutive political class...
This...
Sweet Jesus I’m a mess. 😭
Well worth 2 mins if you are a parent teapawt.org/ItsDxvd/status/1337362…
Absolutely disgraceful that none of @niexecutive could face questioning on @bbctheview from @MarkCarruthers7 to explain their decisions tonight. #numbskulls #goodmanbill

Worth reading this if you’re not interested in politics, or haven’t voted before. A clear and simple analysis of why our current politicians and system are just not fit for purpose.
Long read on what went on inside Stormont this week: A mysterious intervention which helped tip the Executive into deep crisis, a development on Thursday night which emphasises how fragile the entire devolved edifice is, & a melancholic truth now emerging. newsletter.co.uk/news/politi…
Should be an interesting episode of @bbctheview tonight with @MarkCarruthers7 if he's covering the farce that has been underway @niexecutive this week. #pathetic #getyouracttogether #makeadecision #itswhatwepayyoufor

The countdown is on. Perhaps someone on the hill can tell us something....anything!
56 HOURS & COUNTING
The current restrictions on hotels run out at 12 midnight on the Thursday and then its Friday the 13th! The worst of all worlds at with no decision from @niexecutive on opening: no point in ordering stock, making a rota staff or booking guests! A nightmare!
Comments like this do a massive disservice to the huge work that went on in many hospitality businesses to secure a safe working environment for staff and safe social environment for guests while Dr Black sits on his 6 figure, tax payer funded salary. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i…

.@jonnytopping says the information from the executive for hotels is "incredibly confusing" and this has all been done 48 hours before the rules take effect... @BBCevex

HOTELS STILL UNSURE ABOUT CLOSURE
How hotels are to close remains unclear. The Executive announcement yesterday didn't mention hotels or any other accommodation providers. We are still seeking clarity!
Our statement to the press is attached
#QUESTIONS NO ANSWERS

HOTELS CHECKING OUT for 4 WEEKS?
We are still waiting for clarification from @niexecutive on hotel closure: No answers on longterm guests, essential workers or staff support, business survival

When one of those friends turns up at your door with delicious homemade ice cream from another one of those friends.... sure, who wouldn’t love it! @MHHospitality @cafolla99 - thank you!
Oh, and I’d highly recommend Cafolla’s homemade ice-cream delivery! Certainly made our day!

Twenty years ago today, on September 22, 1999, The West Wing debuted—and television as we knew it came to a sudden arboreal stop. #WestWing20
