yeah, numbers aren’t great, however, if there is a significant amount of surge testing in areas with high transmission/cases, you’d be expecting positivity rates to increase. Also, it would be interesting to see confirmed cases symptomatic v asymptomatic. I bet in the past they’d be heavily...

Yeah, kids holidays and good weather would’ve impacted ability to deliver (less volunteers, people away etc). Hoping it can get back up over 500k total per day

That’s a good point Nick. I’m not sure what many scientists, government and media expected. We were running at 2k-2.5k confirmed cases per day at the end of full lockdown, then since mid April people have been meeting up (nobody can tell me when it started pissing it down outside a boozer some...

Forgot about it only being a year away !! (lost the Covid year !). Would make sense for him to give it a go but all depends how we do I guess

Bit harsh, especially at international level. World Cup semi, nations cup final (for what it’s worth) and appears to have got players enjoying playing for England again. So, better than most England recent managers ! Soon find out tho I guess. Reckon it could be his last England tournament...

Wonder if this is all part of his masterplan though. Cummings waits for Hancock to tell his version of events at the hearing (perjure himself for want of a better phrase) and then after it’s done Cummings produces his evidence. Hancock doubly in the shit.

So now Jimmy Anderson is having to apologise for saying Broad had a haircut like a 15 year lesbian 10 years ago. I mean FFS. Basically we can all cut any joking/banter with mates in public as we will undoubtedly offend someone, if not now, probably in 5, 10, 15 years to come ! Ps Robinsons...

There’s all sorts going on from gov and gov scientists (has been all the way through). There’s an element of testing the waters, managing expectations, trying to ensure people don’t go too crazy too soon etc etc Just pleased we’ve got some good weather which will hopefully help (more people...

Making even the lefties lives better😊

Sorry, misunderstood a little (hence pension suggestion). Yeah, not sure about one off lumps and whether payroll can do anything for you or you’ll just have to wait for end of tax year rebate if they’ve over taxed you Or as Dave says, wonder if they could pay it in separate smaller lumps (pain...

Disgusted to read that from you shmmeee 😊. Possibly stick into a SIPP pension* (do any stocks and shares trading via there - you’ll already know the gov (via pension provider) automatically top up contributions with a basic rate relief, you can claim back higher relief via self assessment and...

Agree about the challenges around rural/urban constituencies. Its a tricky balance between serving the constituency and then MPs forming part of central government. The latter is why I think constituencies should be broadly equal in populations though Ps last thing any of us want is a more...

But there’s no curtailing, it’s proposing making constituencies an equal size, which conceptually is correct (it’s how it’s delivered which needs proper scrutiny). Aa I said above the democrats have wanted to do something similar in US for ages as it’s 10 times worse there Ps don’t get me...

Think that’s a little OTT BSB. This shouldve happened a long time ago ie roughly same number of people in each constituency (Also should happen in US where it’s even more ridiculous !) I’d have personally liked it to have been with a cut in number of MPs and reform of House of Lords like...

The media and certain scientists are just relentless though. I have no issue with either saying or supporting the view that if hospitalisations/severe illnesses increase at a rate then we should delay the full reopening for a short period, or tweak some of the relaxations of remaining...

Yeah, was saying earlier I can see White getting minutes (possibly at the expense of the above). Decent footballer Thought JWP looked good as well. If hendo is way off fitness they might be better taking him instead

Hancock waffle....ignore

Thanks mate, used it this morning and eventually got me back off for an hour or so...happy to take that !

Yeah, Ive been pleasantly surprised

I’d have divi’d up country supply by proportionate contribution towards U.K. gdp 😊
