technically classed as a temporary "civil servant" and paid by central govt.
Each Govt minister (and shadow minister) can appoint their own special advisers. Again all paid by central govt.
That's why Javid quit when Cummings tried to sack his personal advisers.

Poor choice of words. I meant he’s not like Vallance and others who were in post pre Johnson. He’s been brought in by Johnson.

Carry on?

There’s definitely an element of Carry On about this government. No one will convince me Matt Hancock isn’t a lost extra from The Thick Of It either.

Look at the state of this wanker- "I'm off"

Herd Immunity not such a great idea when you become one of the herd, huh pal?

 

[Otis]

Not according to the statement. Think it'll only be if Boris is incapacitated

He has been since the late 80's.

Ffs im howling haha, he is bizarre I'll give him that

Is he actually running away from the virus. Does he think it is like the film The Fog, or Fortnite?

Or maybe he just let off an enormous fart and doesn't want to get blamed for it.

Did not expect a Fortnite reference from you Otis. You dark horse you.

He has been chairing the meetings & is essentially the de facto PM, so I guess he knows he's pretty vulnerable now

Is Spain approaching peak of its outbreak?
Spaniards have seen the daily number of deaths rise from 462 at the start of the week, to 769 in the past 24 hours. The latest figure is the highest in one day so far, and brings the total since the outbreak began to 4,858.

But top health official Fernando Simón is holding out hope that the numbers could soon start going down, saying the latest figures "indicate little by little the possible arrival at the peak". Around one in seven of the 64,059 Spanish cases is listed as recovered, and there's been a big rise in the past 24 hours.

This health ministry graph illustrates the spread of Covid-19 across Spain.The green bar shows those who have recovered, the pale blue highlights the number in hospital, the yellow those in intensive care and the red the growth in fatalities.

Depends, it’s not so much how many currently die, it’s how many new people with the virus there are, for a while deaths will increase while new people with the virus get it reduce which is why the authorities called for this three week lockdown, although that officially started Monday I think it will be more from this weekend when this lockdown will be more rigorously enforced.

 

[shmmeee]

Dunno about anyone else, but I’d feel 1000% more confident if Johnson binned Cummings off and went back to his London Mayoral team running things for him instead.

Never played it, but had to endure many an hour of the daughter hogging the TV and watching her running away from the toxic storm

Oh yeah, totally- Cummings is way more sinister than Johnson

 

[wingy]

Have we got one of those graphs
Would be handy.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Can't stop watching that video hahahaha the way he runs like he's in a movie or something

 

[derbyskyblue]

Matt hancock tested positive now. fook , this could go through the of them.

what was he tested for, stupidity?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Its getting to the point where I wonder if this is all some huge Jeremy Beadle style wind-up. Are these fucking people for real? Check out this this thick degenerate talking like Trigger- "its a different handle, its different bristles- but the same brush"

 

[fernandopartridge]

The cynic in me thinks we're in for a very heavy death toll today

 

[tisza]

Cummings looks like he's just robbed the place with that bag under his arm,
Get his comeuppance when he completes his escape on an over-crowded tube train though!!

all rebranded as Trump franchises as his family pick them up on the cheap

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Yeah I think I need to self isolate. Not because of the virus, because if I don't I might go insane, too much random, bizarre, unexplainable shite going on everywhere.

 

[shmmeee]

Said he avoids the tube cos he’s scared of getting it, yet was proposing a solution that would guarantee he got it.

Weird man.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

I'm not comfortable with gloating about this and I'm not, but my god there is a certain level of karma in these people getting it after the way they dithered & messed around and failed to prepare.

Actually fuck them. Why are they getting tested when they have "mild symptoms" when thousands of healthcare workers are being denied tests????? And going into work in a global pandemic with the wrong equipment?

Said to sister they should all walk out for 2 mins to make a point but she’s right they can’t. Instead of fucking about clapping we should be storming our mp offices demanding on their behalf

List of people more important than NHS workers:

Charlie boy
Boris
Rich folk

Hang on a minute

 

[cc84cov]

Hopefully Boris can recover quickly and carry on becoming a great PM

Grendel has been approached and is finalising personal terms announcement due

 

[Nick]

People still being dicks at supermarkets? What's the point.

 

[tisza]

So no surprise Gove takes over the briefing role considering his history with Cummings

Is he breaking his neck for a shite , are there toilets down those stairs !

He already had his own short-lived steak business at one point.

But in general, the US has to now consider removing him from office under emergency measures as not fit. He's endangering millions of lives out of narcissism and an obsession with money. He's making African dictators look competent.

Not seen that today when doing the weekly shop. Also got all I needed changing brands maybe. People also respected the 2 metres

Sounds like Trigger’s broom

You tend to find now, the people at the supermarkets are the ones that didn't stock pile. And have fuck all food left in their house. Like myself. Trust me, if I didn't have to queue to get into Tesco, I wouldn't.
