So that's £3.5m on interest, £10m to Richardson, £13.4m to repay the council loan. Whats the other £8m gone on, covering losses? On the face of it seems they've taken out what is essentially a loan for £35m and having spent it all have nothing much to show for it.

Do the schools have any idea how much work is actually being done by pupils? Its great that the move to remote teaching was done so quickly and that work can be provided for over the summer but are the kids actually paying attention? The memorial is rammed full of large groups of kids every day...

Does Johnson do any prep for PMQs? Certainly doesn't seem like it. Not like the questions are unexpected. Did laugh at the speaker accidentally addressing Starmer as Prime Minister. And this from Hancock

Not a good sign as we look to open things back up, only a week into the reopening of bars in Florida. https://www.newsweek.com/florida-bars-are-shutting-down-again-after-new-positive-coronavirus-cases-1510906

This government is beyond parody. While Johnson is waving around a packet of Tim Tams they're releasing this video to highlight the rivalry between the UK and Australia. Slight problem being this is Northern Ireland v Ukraine from Euro 2016! Here's the former Australian PM explaining where...

Couple of people I know who run bars, actually small music venues but small enough to come under pubs and bars, have only had information from their brewery and local licensing unit. On the face of it that would make sense except they have made clear they are essentially best guessing as...

It's quite worrying. In the last couple of weeks we've had racism and kids going hungry highlighted as issues in this country. Mind blowing that a significant portion of the population are against resolving those issues. These are things that should unify everyone.

The school meals u-turn is good news, although not so good when the PM says he didn't know about the issue until yesterday. Starmer asked him about it in PMQs last week didn't he?

Last Tuesday was 1,741 before that 1,653; 2,004 and 2,412 so that's certainly good news. Although still concern at how slowly the rate is coming down. Next couple of weeks will be vital. Between people at parks & beaches, street parties, various protests and the scenes we saw as shops reopened...

This is why effective track and trace is so important. Even if we get effective treatment it could still mean weeks / months in hospital. Absolutely vital that as restrictions are eased people are traced and tested quickly.

It's an important breakthrough no doubt but also important not to overstate it. When you look at the trial they're talking about it saving one in eight of patients on ventilators and one in twenty five of patients on oxygen. Great news no doubt, being able to save lives with an existing safe...

Of course you can sue the club. You'd have to prove that the season ticket was purchased for a set number of games rather than in line with the terms and conditions given at the time of purchase. Personally think that would be a strong argument but not sure it would be worth all the hassle given...

They said they were using the bond money to pay the interest on the bond, at 6.5% a year that's £16m to start off with. Add in paying Richardson back and paying the council loan off and that's the bond money gone. Next time round they will have years of actual trading history rather than just...

The sticking point in an exit strategy will be the bond. Is it known what they actually spent it on? I know some of it went to pay back the owner and some was supposed to be ring fenced to pay the bond interest payments. Has the rest just gone on covering losses, not like they've actually built...

Bobby Bridge got an A in republishing Wasps press releases and claiming it as your own work.

Had this argument with Italia when he used to spin the Wasps line that Premiership rugby had the potential to be as big a brand as Premier League football. Remember looking up the figures and in one appearance on Sky we had more viewers than every Wasps game combined. Someone on here made the...

I think things like this are far more likely to be the answer than a vaccine. If we can treat it effectively and cut the deaths to something in line with other things such as flu then that might allow things to start returning to normality. You'd still need a larger testing capacity with a...

Speaking of R numbers:

There's one at Coventry Market.
