Yes, they did. And it was… weirdly boring. The Department of Health and Social Care released a statement on Monday that read like a microwave manual. They said, and I quote: “There are no current plans to impose any form of national lockdown in 2026.” Full stop.

But here’s the kicker — they added a tiny clause. “However, the government always prepares contingency plans for a range of winter pressures and public health threats.” Sound familiar? It’s the classic ‘we’re not doing it, but we wrote it down just in case’ dance. My inner cynic did a little jig.

Downing Street’s press secretary, when grilled, gave the most passive-aggressive smile and said: “The Prime Minister has no intention of locking down peacetime Britain again.” Notice the word “peacetime”?
