Commons return will ‘euthanise’ MPs, Jacob Rees-Mogg is warned

Get the fucking schools in though yeah?*

*early evidence, kids no symptoms, don’t pass it on etc etc. Don’t believe them.

Never thought I’d indirectly agree with Rees Mogg

Assumed he was dead

Will be interesting to see if they stick to it, probably another lie

Fucking hell! Did someone inject you with some scepticism last night because you swallow every lie the government tells you?!

Cars 'from across country' cause beaches gridlock

We're gonna need a world beating tracing system soon

We are in the middle of a pandemic, why would they want to get shut down by the twat piers Morgan halfway through answering a question

Because they're answerable to the UK electorate.

Johnson tried to tell Starmer about his tone of voice yesterday and got reminded they were discussing the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

Like you Johnson doesn't think that's that important.

Other day some dickhead was sat on the beach being interviewed moaning that people had travelled to be on the beach.

YOU ARE ON THE BEACH TOO YOU FUCKING GIMP

And that is what we are dealing with.
I will say though, a lot of the photos make it look worse than it actually is.

Tbh if it’s safe for kids to go back to school and the right procedures are in place in the weeks to come, why shouldn’t they?

They should in theory - but it’s not safe yet and there is no evidence that any procedures are ready to go to support a safe return. Add to that the impossibility of socially distancing in education environments.

It’s not the right time yet. If people think it is they’ve clearly never worked in education or they’re an idiot.

Fair enough, If it’s safe deffo but if not they should just be off till September

Here we go again, trying to move away from the point like you always do...... they go on every other channel for interviews just not GMB because of the way Piers acts like a child and screams at them, he’s an embarrassment

Hydroxy now set to be used in trials in the uk.... hmm does it actually do anything though there have been conflicting reports?

5live interviewed some nursery nurses today.
They're also got a right job on their hands.
Social distancing impossible with babies and toddlers.
It's a minefield.
Every day when I think of the repercussions of this virus the scenarios are getting worse and worse.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

How many nurses and care workers are there?

Why do you think government ministers shouldn't be answerable to UK public?
Watch Hancock telling Allin-Khan to change her tone in the house of commons.
Tell me was there anything wrong with the way she spoke to him (any normal person would conclude there wasnt),and then explain why government ministers think they shouldn't be challenged?

And if you think they shouldn't be challenged why did Michael Gove say they should and told Morgan to keep holding them to account?

Why do you care more about Morgan challenging ministers than the number of deaths?
And before you say you don't you get more emotive about Morgan's tone of questioning the the mortality figures so it's the only conclusion I can come to.

Every other news presenter actually lets them have at least 20 seconds to answer, Piers on the other hand gives them about 3 before acting like a twat and screaming them down....


If you want to watch them get challenged put sky news on

It clearly isn’t and you know it, stop being deluded..... he’s had over 50k complaints because of acting like an utter tool

No he answered the question


They should be questioned and not just the soft soap bollocks they get normally.

Morgan isn't the only one they have boycotted.

You said sorry yet for lying about testing targets?

Luckily for Johnson the 50 thousand dead can't put a complaint in.

It has heart failure as a said effect and has shown very very little use against covid-19 in the limited testing so far.

A drug that causes heart failure is not the way to go.

I agree then, tbh I have seen conflicting reports but most experts saying it doesn’t work

Where have you heard that?
Is this the Dowden interview which the telegraph are misinterpreting?

I can't see it.
I read the Dowden interview re: opening up UK tourism and it's getting misinterpreted in the media.

I recon if they told you to shit in your hands and clap as a cure you would do it and if Piers Morgan said it doesn’t work you’d do it twice.

Not being inflammatory; I'm intrigued to hear what people's definition of safe is?

For me at the very least - the government are insisting on social distancing - so that has to be achievable.
PPE - I think teachers should be provided with some (especially those in primary)
Finally - there are still too many people dying and also becoming infected with no method of tracing how the disease is spreading.

With respect - you were happy to champion a government and prime minister that behaved in exactly the same way for the last year. It’s only now it’s an issue because the scrutiny is finally on them?

In other words you want children afforded the same protection Mps expect in the commons.

Yeah - bloody lefties and their unreasonable demands for child safety.

My kids' primary will be exercising the 2m rule and also confirmed the teachers will have PPE so I'm satisfied they'll be safe. Also looking at the stats only 8 people under 19 have died from CV, so that reassures me further.

Getting all mumsnet for a second. What is (are?) the PPE the teachers will be wearing? Bit of a change from the norm for a 4 year old to deal with.

But isn't the main issue surrounding how much children transmit the virus?
There's a lot of conflicting information and the Royal college of paediatricians are saying there's no conclusive evidence either way so at the moment it's basically a coin toss.
