Whatever your political home, congrats to Alex and Carrie and their new bairn, as she was due 'early summer' the baby was born very early so fingers crossed they are both fine.

Boris drops out of PMQs, apparently because his partner has just given birth. Any excuse to blame Labour!

I wonder if the Prime Minister will use his right to parental leave.

Why do you wonder?

He's delaying it until later in the year. Wedding when we hit 100k deaths though?

Quite like the look of this. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/08/amsterdam-doughnut-model-mend-post-coronavirus-economyNo doubt most places will take the full on growth approach to economic recovery with maybe climate change and the environment taking a back seat for a while. Will the opportunity for change be taken or will it be same old, same old.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

I know that a fair few countries (Milan being the most prominent example) are looking at ways to improve public transport and cycleways infrastructure post lockdown as the quiet has allowed things to be analysed better, likewise Manchester are pedestrianising part of Deansgate of the back of this. If we just fall back into same old same old it will just prove how dense we as a race are.

I was referring to the 'human race' but species does it equally well.

Happy 1st May. Great to see the Gov is talking to the major unions in each sector about how to open up businesses again.

Haven’t checked the veracity of this but I saw on Twitter someone point out that the day Carrie Symonds gave birth was 40 weeks after Johnson’s first speech as PM.

After Gove's equally repllent wife tweeted a photo of their bookcase with lots of dictator fan books, she's now posted another with books including the Bell Curve, a notorious and long discredited racist tome which argues that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites, and the work of holocaust denier David Irving. Lovely couple Small wonder that this govt thought it would be fine to employ eugenicists. Or that the coronavirus strategy was to let it sweep through the "herd" and so what if a few thousand pensioners died.

Erm, I think I might actually .... although a fair few of them are books that didn't have a paperback edition.
