Hague flattened Blair at PMQ and was at election time a disaster - it means nothing

Maybe not come election time as most people don't watch stuff like PMQ's etc, but during the course of a parliament I'd rather have an opposition (from either side) able to dissect policy in PMQ's without having it interrupted by backbenchers there solely for the purpose of trying to drown it out.

Call it madness but for effective government you need effective questioning and opposition of it.

I think the new format without the baying crowds exposes Johnson massively.

It absolutely does.

His bluster and jokes look a bit pathetic with no reaction.

And this sort of waffle is just embarrassing in a silent room...

Yes which should mean no more fake ‘questions’ just fluffing the government. I am all for a Tory MP asking a question that hasn’t been fed by CCHQ

Fucking BAME pisses me right off. Why am I getting lumped in with everyone who isn’t white for fuck sake. It’s so vague.

I think as time goes by you can only assume that they never deviated from the herd immunity plan and everything we’ve seen from them is nothing more than smoke and mirrors to disguise that.

50,000 deaths in the UK’s coronavirus epidemic

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Ticket office worker who got spat on by a man with Covid has now died of it. Special place in hell for him I think

Give him at least 15 years in prison first.

50,000 deaths in the UK’s coronavirus epidemic

According to the FT there's potentially another 8700 deaths to add to that total. Not good.

Fingers crossed it has killed him

We hadn't previously but that is the most obvious way to start generating revenue I think.

Know much about that?

Yeah, I used to but not so much in recent years. I work in digital marketing/SEO so happy to give advice with anything if you need it. If you managed to build it up that much already and have access to people of interest, then I think you could probably turn into something that does very well by the sounds of it - especially if you enjoy writing about it.

I’m now clear of Covid and was due back at work yesterday so I spoke to my boss and he asked how I was I said fine just a small cough, got a message to say we would rather you stopped at home for another week to let the cough go so people are not worried. So getting another week at home lovely.

Full pay? If so, you'll have to inadvertently cough every week when you answer the phone

Got home from work this morning, and started feeling really tight round the chest, and generally unwell. Got my test booked tomorrow morning.

I felt really tired and then developed a cough a couple of days later, before you do the test read the instructions as I went to the drive through and the explanation was limited and I did it wrong.

Good luck I hope you get it mild like me or my wife who has had no symptoms

We do it by text it’s not quite full pay but no far off

Haven't had a cough, but do feel really lethargic and tight chested.
Cheers for the advice.

I think that should be the advice for everyone really .
Again I think we're an outlier with the 1 week advice .
Do either of you have a theory of where you picked it up .
It's quite interesting that both of you have worked right through and now have picked it up late on as the rate has dropped significantly, as we're told .

One week seems short to me, not really sure who had it first to know my wife could only have got it from the hospital she works at as it’s the only place she has been, I had been to work where I had worked with somebody who went off with Covid but I was told is a precaution I went to the supermarket as well but nowhere else.

They better not have moved Countryfile tonight for that crock of shit .
It's a F"*kin grandstanding excercise to try and bolster his rapidly declining image .

Just as the daily conferences have turned into PR excercises .

I refer Mr Bone .

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I would imagine Cummings will be having a little word with Mr Bone.

Goes to show how bad they’re doing when an ardent hard brexiteer who backed Boris in the leadership contest is publicly criticising Boris lad.

Their half hearted approach to both the lockdown and the securing of PPE and testing
Capacity does point to this conclusion, herd immunity has to be their aim.
If it isn’t ‘and this has genuinely been their best concentrated effort to Treat, contain and
eventually beat this virus ‘well....I’m staggered,

Thanks to all the doctors and nurses keeping us alive! Look how much we appreciate them when we clap on Thursday nights!

Oh and here's the bill.

Fucking typical. There was me thinking (hoping) Johnson might have a different viewpoint on the public sector after they apparently saved his life.

VAT? That can’t be true. VAT is down to the nasty EU. OUT MEANS OUT!

What's wrong with them raising tax to pay for it?
