I think you are right on the timing but you know I just don’t trust the government not to totally drop the bollock on this. Just look at the narrative in the papers and on the TV in the last few days... it’s there for a reason. A plan has to include a vaccination schedule, staggered return and a guarantee that safety will be paramount. Otherwise we’ll be discussing this again in Lockdown 5 at the end of the year, after killing a lot more people because they didn’t get this last bit right.

Said this last month. Decide on a vaccination target (2 jabs given, not 1 offered) combined with an NHS capacity target if needs be that needs to be hit before x level of reopening.

He didn't really save anything. He stepped down because he was going to lose his seat as well as most other Scottish Labour MPs. The rout up here is total for Labour.

Always good to show the problem Labour has in Scotland.

Reminded that Chris Whitty said we’d have done well if we reach 20000 deaths so five times as many, is that terrible or criminal or just bad luck?

I will be amazed if Parliament lasts for the full term after this pandemic is over. Tough questions will need to be asked all around.

I think it shows how out of touch most people are with politics away from Westminster. When you have a populist left-leaning party in Scotland compared to Westminster then it is going to leave most things screwed for everyone in England.

In a normal country this is totally correct. But here, there is no one to ask the questions. The opposition won’t even do it for fucks sake.

Now is not the time for a call of no confidence in a petition to Parliament. I can see it happening though when we come out the other side.
