Assuming the numbers given to Worldometers is broadly correct I've just done some maths.
The overall +ve rate is about 3% - 390.5m tests against 11.5m +ves
Todays rate, taking the number added to the number of tests ( around 1.5m) and the number of +ve cases being 90k, is just shy of 6%.
It could have been a particularly +ve heavy day but it shows the ratio of +ve tests could be on a steeper increase.

Confirmed that there will definitely not be any measures implemented pre-Christmas. After Christmas, who knows.

To be honest, with the amount of mixing and socialising that's going to happen between now and the 27th, I feel were going to be in for some seriously high numbers by next weekend.

Number of cases is not directly relateable to number of tests! And 'overall average' is not a great stat - as it covers both Summer (low) and Winter (high) cases. Total tests makes no allowance for seasons.
But certainly, number of cases is increasing dramatically, especially in the last few days - as can be seen by the 'Daily Cases' graph for UK.
Click on 'UK' from the Countries sheet, Page down (once on my Laptop) to show Daily Cases/Deaths links, Select Daily Cases to get the chart - and you'll also see what I mean about 'Summer' v 'Winter'!

The idea of monitoring it 'hour by hour' didn't last long!

Worst flu is over, but left with a constant niggling headache and walking up the stairs feel like the equivalent of running 10k. Just rolling over and getting out of bed leaves me slightly out of breath. But getting there, I hope! ???
But wasn’t Boris due to be briefed by Whitty and Vallance this afternoon? Maybe the announcement gives a clue as to what that briefing told him.

I don't think there is going to be any point in bringing in restrictions on the 27th/28th now anyway. If they really did want to stop the spread then the restrictions should have been brought in last weekend although that wouldn't have gone down well with the members of the party or the electorate.
Once we've got the next week's festivities out of the way stopping people going out to the pub on the 3rd January for example seems a bit pointless!!

Worldometer UK Cases indicates even larger increase! From 50k-ish cases to 90k-ish cases!
I note that the above link states 'might include more than 1 test per person'!
Trying to manufacture conclusions from 'unrelated' (or 'not directly relateable') data is fraught with the danger of wrong conclusions!

I think I slightly missed your point!
Though proximity of fans in a stadium is much closer than deemed 'within danger boundary' in other areas/venues - like those eluded to by Cardiff Manager. Let's hope they are enforced properly at those venues too!

The added complexity is that Parliament insists they have their say on any future change to the guidance. Given their reticence shown during the previous debate the PM/Cabinet may be between a rock and a hard place with changing scientific opinions versus MP's reluctance to be agile.

But restrictions will always go through as Labour have said they will support anything. Won’t go down well with the Conservatives who are against such measures but wouldn’t affect the result.
Trying my hardest not to talk politics, but given the grief Boris has had for his previous reluctance to act, I am reading what is going on at the moment as a positive. I actually think if Omicron was as bad as the press would have us believe we’d have restrictions by now.
I hope, for the first time in my life (according to the wife) I’m actually right about something.
