I see Peter Bone has been calling it straight on Julia Hartley-Brewers radio show this morning. Basically said regardless of what spin they put on it he broke the rules. That’s a Brexit campaigner in agreement with another Brexit campaigner that he broke the rules. These morons trying to make out it’s about Brexit need to either wise up or shut up.

I see trip advisor has had to suspend new reviews on Barnard Castle following a wave of come and have your eyes tested, great place to escape Covid, great place to take your wife on her birthday type comments.

Given how he admitted he makes many mistakes each day, then I sincerely hope not....

You’d feel comfortable spending several hours at a busy airport, then a further four hours on a plane within a few feet of other people??

Considering all the hours spent in shops since mid March with people not following the rules, yes. Particularly to ultimately go to a country with far less of a problem with the disease than we do.

Yeah, that's what I don't get with all these holiday plans. Everybody reacts differently, of course, but the thought of being holed up somewhere, either having to queue for supermarket just in a different place, or having a socially distanced bar experience just doesn't appeal to me.
I guess I can understand camping or something (you get the miserable torment experience then anyway!) but the rest is just going to be a pale shadow, and remind me of what I could have had.
I'd rather wait until it's close-ish to normal and I can go to a restaurant safe that I won't have a masked waiter gesticulating furiously at my plate of food, set for me to go over and collect for myself!
And that's before any hassle crossing borders, or finding public toilets on the way that are open and usable...

ONS figures released.
Bad news - 47,000 deaths total.
Good news - deaths on the decline.

Yep why be worried about going to a country that even though is still at government level poor as fuck handled the pandemic a hundred times better than us?

Cummings but be really hated by rank and file Tories for them to keep on him like this. No way that resignation wasn't timed to keep the story at the top of the cycle.
I don't see where people think Johnson is resigning though, have you not been paying attention? Politicians can do what they want.

Seems we should have had Russian troops on the street to enforce lockdown like Italy did

I’ve assumed based on Greece’s trend in unwinding their lockdown that the experience will be fairly normal by mid July but we’ve got time to cancel for free if it changes. It’s hotels being closed here that are the main obstacle to us going due to the early flight.

It's not just about Cummings anymore.
The part timer has backed him to the hilt and coerced the cabinet to do the same.
Gove made to look a complete pillock this morning in interviews and even Sunak getting some stick for defending Cummings.
Massive error of judgement by Johnson.

Good, I emailed him yesterday and seems like many others did too.
I thought he was too much of a tow the line Tory to actually ask for Cummings to resign though, fair play.

Yep....I'm surprised they didn't go down the tried & tested route....
Make him "resign", let him lurk behind the scenes in an unofficial capacity & then welcome him back into the fold ready for the next campaign....
...worked for Blair & Campbell after all..

That has already happened with Cummings hasn't it?
Yeah politically seemed like the obvious thing to do.
Starting to think they’re trying to use it as an opportunity to galvanise their support against the media.
