16 months since first shut down in this pandemic. Still not open at normal trading levels thanks to the most incredulously stupid guidance and rules. And STILL NO FINANCIAL HELP.

It’s appalling. #whataboutweddings

@Ga1tJohn @CoffeeRocket2 @MaizyDaizyZzzz @hughosmond Not sure where this is from? I tested positive in December and never got a penny, and then lost my job because I was self isolating! 🙄

[Jono Symonds @jono969]

Seriously @BorisJohnson @PennyMordaunt this is now getting beyond a joke....either have the restrictions for every event or not at all, this is discrimination against weddings! Weddings are life events not just a weekend on the drink watching sport! #whataboutweddings

Can I get an award for discovering a new variant?

Only at weddings it’s so clever ☢️ Raise a toast & you could be struck down immediately 🥂

However If you stand drinking at
{insert ANY sport here} it’s FINE though 🐎 #whataboutweddings 🙄

Sorry but I see no masks while standing with a drink yet I CANT let my new husband do this on our soon to be wedding day but you currently can with strangers at ascot? @BorisJohnson @WAWofficialUK @UKParliament #whataboutweddings #Ascot

[Jessie Westwood @JessieSorores]

The seasonal wedding industry cannot survive another delay. The current restrictions are not acceptable. Today, alongside @Sacha_Lord and a other key associations & businesses @WAWofficialUK are putting the Govt on notice that we intend to take legal action.

So whilst this was going on, we were creating risk assessment to find out how many #guests we can host at a #wedding, informing #couples that they have to have seated #drinksreceptions & #dancing is advised against?! Can you see why we’re frustrated as hell?! #whataboutweddings

[Emily Key @Emilylkey]

@LouiseRobertson @10DowningStreet Signed already 😊

[Emma, Miss Bush MD @MissBushBridal]

Wimbledon, Ascot, Euros… Jollying around in Cornwall. Do @BorisJohnson Tories think this summer is a post GCSE piss up? While trying to secure their ‘gap-yah’ in Australia. That and nicking the cutlery from the G7 for shits and giggles #whataboutweddings

[Emily Key @Emilylkey]

@JessieSorores It’s absolutely appalling!! I’m so angry. How can someone be such a blatant hypocrite and get away with it 🤯

[Jessie Westwood @JessieSorores]

Standing drinks receptions:

Boris = ✅

Wedding venues = ❌

[Kelly Louise @KellyLouise140]

So this is allowed but guests leaving a table at my wedding to say hi to each other isn't.. Piss take.. @BorisJohnson you have failed this country #whataboutweddings

[Jessie Westwood @JessieSorores]

Conservative MPs you don’t have a duty to be loyal to your leader. You have a duty to represent your constituents. The hundreds of thousands of couples getting married are watching.

SPEAK UP.

[OldGrayMan 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @WeddingPhots]

Yup. We've been sacrificed on the altar of sport and villified as super-spreader events without evidence. #whataboutweddings

[Sacha Lord @Sacha_Lord]

Whilst their "chums" can enjoy Wimbledon, high end production theatre and Ascot, many other sectors have had the plug pulled on them at the 11th hour.

We came together today, as promised, as one voice.

More to follow this week.
