Boris to English translation:
Australian-style deal -> no deal
tier 4 -> lockdown
oven ready -> have no clue where to begin
timely and robust response to Covid -> dragging my feet, then total f**k-up
following the science -> ignore all those professors; Tim Martin says people need their pint in his pub, and he's a very generous donor indeed
I hope we'll avoid another lockdown -> Vallance and Van Tam say thousands will die if there is no lockdown, and we've already decided to do it but Rees-Mogg needs time to close his short before an official announcement is made
democracy -> whatever Vlad and the Donald decide
