Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has told Sky News that he believes there needs to be unity across the United Kingdom on the COVID lockdown rules over Christmas.

So I can’t go out with my friends but can meet them in school. Makes a lot of sense...

[idek]

This doesn't even feel like a lockdown because schools are still open but oh well good for us

[grenthefroggo]

Everyone: Close the schools...

Boris Johnson and the others: Let's do the opposite, maybe that will lower the case numbers

At this point I’m wrapping myself in a blanket and not moving until 2021 someone come get me when this nightmare is over

Mark Drayford doesn't seem to discuss Coronavirus figures but rather focusses upon people complying with the restrictions.

When are they going to realise cases are not going to go down until they close schools and unis

This year is like a game whete the main charecters are absolutely stupid and schools are just a hard level in the game.

He needs to be arrested for crimes against our freedom

He thinks success is people not travelling, not getting rid of the virus, Nothing can stop a virus (NOTHING) Compliance was always the goal..people need to wake up.

Let's face it we are not actually in lockdown... Where I live apart from Pubs, Restaurants, Gyms and Clothing shops all the shops are still open

[yourrealname]

How they not gonna let us see our family for a day (Christmas) but keep us in schools with 1000 other strangers who we keep contact with and don’t know have covid

[yellowsubmarine]

Fire break ? How about invisible cape or hocus pocus

[bobshmyder]

So we can’t celebrate Christmas happily but we have to go to school

[akiraishere]

People aren't listening. I'm just fed up of this constant cycle of uncertainty. I don't even know when the next time I can see my partner is. I thought my mental health was bad before this year. My love goes out to anyone that is experiencing the same thing, we got this

[cristeaadrian]

They said 3 weeks lockdown.After few days they were talking about breaking Christmas gatherings.They know that lockdown will last longer, about 6 month or even longer.

[gillianpalmer]

This man dont tell the truth lies lies

[EM-ykdw]

Who cares if Christmas is cancelled this year. Its all hype anyway.

[samcollins]

So for 10 minutes he couldnt give a concise or direct answer to anything lol

[missmerrily]

Oh give me a break. Like all the UK’s petty dictators it’s “Follow the same rules so long as they are mine”

[Markus-qd]

I don't think I'll keep my hopes up though this won't last long.
