I hope our Somerset based members are all vigorously knocking one out as advised by the Council.

I don't understand the outrage. What's wrong with that tweet?

And yet they want to lift the lockdown? Insane

It's based on the impact of easing that lock down, and to be fair, I doubt they are only producing a single model and using it.  There are some people producing models that suggest the cirus ramps up quickly but then begins to stall naturally.  They are outliers for now.

That explains why Venkman has been quiet on here recently

What a turnaround.

BBC: Virgin to cut 3,150 jobs and keep Gatwick closed

It wasn't so long ago that Gatwick was pushing to have a 2nd runway built.  If BA pull out as speculated to consolidate at Heathrow - and Virgin goes as well - what will be left there?

My heart goes out to every one of the 3,000+ that this will affect.  Job insecurity is horrible, and there are many thousands who will be feeling it right now.  It's going to be one of the bigger stories of the early 2020s, long after the worst effects of the virus itself have passed.

He hasn't crossed the threshold for nearly 50 days apparently

Not sure its outrage, more in TNQ territory.

Is that a euphemism?

The last thing the NHS needs right now is a mass outbreak of blindness.

[pauld]

Deputy CMO Jenny Harries has admitted (despite what she previously said in the Daily Pravda briefings) to the Health Select Committe that we stopped testing in mid-March because we didn't have enough tests and that "if we had unlimited capacity we would have done differently". Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Over 50,000 dead.

This is quite an interesting listen and included a lot of stuff I had never seen/heard before.

Disgusting response from Matt Hancock to Dr Rosena Allin-Khan.

Textbook misogyny.  He should apologise publicly.

I don't see it as misogyny.

Surely he'd say that to anybody asking difficult and direct questions.

I don't think it was misogyny (not sure he is bright enough to be misogynist) patronising or condescending maybe. Basically just false offence to sound the dog whistle to the perpetually offended yet faithful on social media and try and deflect from an entirely reasonable question being asked by someone more intelligent than him that he cannot answer honestly without incriminating himself. I would be more interested in the answer he gave, although it appears he gave none!

Anyway I just don't understand why anyone would doubt his 200% commitment to the NHS and their staff, the man has a badge for gods sake, what more do those commie libtards expect him to do! Jesus, what does she know she's just a doctor!

He didn’t actually say what Lammy has quoted.....
