So not 1st June and shockingly Johnson told a bare faced lie at PMQ's.

See Michael Green is now saying that face coverings should be worn on public transport from the 15th June, again the language is strange, I understand the need to give people time to obtain masks should he not say people should wear them from now and must from 15th?

Its moved out then. It was reported that in a call to Dildo the day after our "world leading" system was announced, she's siad that track and trace would not be fully ready until July at the earliest.

The telling bit is

he doubted the scheme would evolve smoothly but said he wanted it to “cement the position of the private sector” in the NHS supply chain.

Bit of light perhaps

‘Data released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) showed 53,000 people in England had the virus at any one time during the last two weeks of May.

That's down from 133,000 in the last round of figures.’

Also in that article the Chief Exec of Serco, the serial bunglers who've inexplicably been given the contract for this, says "If it succeeds … it will go a long way in cementing the position of the private sector companies in the public sector supply chain". So the scheme is being used as Trojan Horse to increase the privatisation of the NHS

Is that why Bojo had a Benny in PMQs after Starmer questioned him about why it wasn't ready by June 1st as they had stated?

I think that was possibly more to do with his sense of entitlement and the fact that he is not used to being questioned.

Once upon a time the wilful misleading of Parliament led to resignation, or a sacking. Like Profumo.

Something that 'does a job' would be fine currently!

Something that 'does a job' would be fine currently!

Like the various foreign ones already developed and working that we have been offered but the government have turned them down.

Latest Cambridge University and Public Health England estimates suggests the R-rate is above 1 in the North West and not a million miles away elsewhere....

Or even "actually exists in any meaningful sense"

not a massive shock.

[Bogus Dave]

Can someone smarter than me explain how the R going up correlates with the infection number going down?
