I had dinner with a former Labour cabinet member about a year after the 2010 election and asked at what point they knew they would lose it. Their response was 'The moment the cabinet decided to support Brown as leader' which seemed incredibly harsh.

John Sillett - Cillet Bang

I've just spoken to one of the guys who works with me, his grandfather died last Wednesday, probably not of COVID-19 but they need to do a post-mortem blood test to confirm - they are still waiting for the test. This means that if he test positive he will go into the figures when he's tested...

It's based on the position at 5pm yesterday

Or a lesson as to how I can do it!

There were 1,427 new cases yesterday. That doesn’t suggest its significantly slowing down. The log graph of new cases might be showing a slight slowdown in the rate of growth but still growing at an alarming rate. If I knew how to post a picture of it I would!

Coronavirus: Briton, 21, with no pre-existing health conditions dies after contracting COVID-19 Think the 21-year old is in the figures

I’d say it’s probably an anomaly. Deaths today are people who became infected 3 weeks ago. If I’m wrong and they are the same tomorrow that’s great but I really doubt it.

It does

I saw some figures that New York State has about 3,200 critical care beds and they project that they will need over 35,000

I reckon Trump has to spend about an hour each morning deciding what the worst thing he could say would be - and then says it. It will all be over and you will be back at work in 15 days. The Chinese virus We've got millions of beautiful tests Twat

With no sport on I'm surprised Paddy Power aren't all over that as a bet.
