The only thing he announced, the only change, is that some (not all) schools are closing. The fact he spent 10 minutes and didn't quite manage to communicate which schools/kids were affected says it all really...

All schools are to close as he very clearly said.

This is not the only change. Overall this is back to full lockdown as it was in March, which is quite stricter that the current situation (aka tier 4 in most of England)

Edit: yes, children of key workers are still accepted although schools are closed, like in March. He said that, you guys clearly understood that. Let's not be disingenuous here...

I don't think that's correct.

They're remaining open for vulnerable pupils (not defined) and children of critical workers.

Also, nurseries will remain open.

They're also staying open for exams happening this month. But the summer exams are cancelled.

Also, schools remain open for "elite athletes" to train.

And the building will continue to be used for religious activities.

All he had to say was "school is cancelled tomorrow, except if you went when we closed them last year or for kids under 4. Exams are still on this month."

I don't see any other changes at all actually. Weddings are still on, there are 101 exemptions for visiting people. The main one of course is anyone doing business. Workers keep working so that 30mil people many of whom will be moving around and breathing on each other tomorrow.

Let me know if I missed something? It seems next week will be the same as today for me (no kids).

All schools...except nursery schools. And this is only England, Scotland, Wales and NI all have separate rules.

Full lockdown like in March? I read that I should not go out more than once per day to exercise. In March I read that I must not.

See, you perfectly understood the message. Nurseries stay open, all schools close, he did say as much.
