You say its fake news then post the same thing! The document from IPSA even states costs related to home working are already claimable from the existing office costs budget. Does raise the question of why MPs and their staff need such a high allowance when the rest of us can only claim £6 per...

New Red Dwarf tonight at 9pm on Dave. 2 hour feature length episode. Looking forward to that, reviews have been excellent.

What is confusing to me is why we have the same discussion about this every day yet people still act surprised. The ONS figures are more accurate but don’t come out daily and are always weeks later as they allow time for everything to be reported and allocated to the date of death rather than...

Did find it amusing that after all the outrage at Sultana for saying BME backgrounds were disproportionately impacted the BBC has this morning been giving hourly coverage to the same story without any criticism.

According to this Spain went into lockdown 3 weeks ago and will start to loosen restrictions on April 26. Spain will slowly return to “normal life” starting on April 26, says government

While the rest of the country has pretty effortlessly switched to working from home it seems MPs need an extra £10K in expenses allowance to do the same. At the same time rules will be relaxed so they don't need to provide any proof of what the money they claim has been spent on. Can't see any...

Patel turns down committee appearance four times

Why are passport office staff being forced to work? Who the hell needs a passport at the moment.

The likes of Patel and Rees-Mogg shouldn't be in prominent positions if every time there's a spotlight on the government, such as now and the election campaign, they have to be hidden away.

Should be OK as long as there's the same number of live games.

What is the agenda? Just had a look at her timeline and she's also tweeted about working people, particularly the self employed, being helped; non-essential workplaces being shut down; the low level of SSP; lack of protection for transport workers; called for students to be released from rental...

It could be lack of social distancing, it could be anything. That's why you get experts to look at the actual evidence rather than random social media posts and if they can find a pattern something can be done about it. Although if it is social distancing it wouldn't explain why you see the...

Yes, if one section of the population is impacted at a higher rate than it accounts for in the population then it is disproportionately impacted. Not sure what article you're referring to but if its deaths rather than infections I would expect the relevant medical experts to be looking into why...

Have you actually read the article? There's already health inequality before you even get to coronavirus. That links to high levels of poverty which you could reasonable suggest means people from those communicates are likely to have little choice other than to stay working and are unlikely to...

Pretty sure we have people from BME backgrounds in the city. If they are being disproportionately impacted that is in issue isn't it?

Would open up a whole can of worms if they tried to void the season. Think of how many season tickets holders there are throughout the country. Some lawyer would take that on and claim refunds as the matches were meaningless. Clubs who were odds on for promotion would take legal action. Whole...

If it was 1988 refereeing the 2018 side would have run off claiming injury before it got to the last 20 minutes!

With different countries stats being measured differently its hard to be certain but when its all over I'm sure the data will be poured over and the numbers crunched so it is comparable. If that shows we've done significantly worse than other countries there will be questions to answer. As you...

This raises the question of why Dyson and Babcock are using their own, new and untested, designs rather than those already in existence. Can't be an issue with patents or anything like that as it says the Ventilator Challenge UK consortium is using existing, already approved, designs from Penlon...
