You spent weeks asking about daily figures. Still, I guess that you got the message about taking in trends is encouraging. We are on a downward trend but it's a very slow downward trend. But after the return of people to work a week or two from now will be interesting as I reckon we're going to...

No it wasn't but you can't have the faith in the party diminished so someone has to take the bullet for them.

I'd love it if parliament 'travelled' and was held in a different region each term/year. Would go a long way to removing that London-centric bubble and you'd be amazed how quick you'd get investment in the regions doing it. You could make it part of the redevelopment programme of cities so the...

If you have the test and it comes back negative I suggest seeing your doctor about it potentially being stress related.

I agree entirely. Nice place to visit. Sure as hell wouldn't want to live there.

They would be but the trouble in practice is it all gets lumped in the pot. NI was supposed to be a hypothecated tax to pay for social security and hen later the NHS. Vehicle tax is supposed to only be used for road improvements. Never works out that way.

It must be extremely annoying, and I imagine there are many in the LGBTQ who feel the same. But it does also work the other way. When I hear reference to 'white people' there are plenty of white people I'd be horrified to be lumped in with. Same with women referring to men as if we're all the...

Because it's part of the city's colours?

Who sets the laws about what employers can and can't do? Who has systematically removed/undermined the ability of trade unions and individuals to protect themselves from unscrupulous employers? Who has allowed there to be the inequality in society that makes it such that there is such a...

Maybe not come election time as most people don't watch stuff like PMQ's etc, but during the course of a parliament I'd rather have an opposition (from either side) able to dissect policy in PMQ's without having it interrupted by backbenchers there solely for the purpose of trying to drown it...

To an extent yes, but for many what they consider common sense may not be an option open to them. What if you think your workplace is unsafe and it's common sense to stay away, but they are insisting you have to come back into work or get fired? Some people don't have the option to just say...

I've said for a long long time that the schoolboy calling and jeering is a massive detriment to actually getting stuff done. Nice to see I was proved right. Perhaps we can bring in some of the elements of online meetings? Rather than benches a load of soundproof boxes and the mics are only...

I think they might choose him for the BAME background but I'm sure the economics background going into the recession will be played upon too. Trouble is his economic thinking is very right wing, like Javid and Hunt, and would likely be austerity based and see the poor and needy shafted for the...

I was wondering if they might use the two tone design for home and away?

I wouldn't. Possible leadership contender. They fucked this right up and it's quite possible they'll go with a leadership change again to 'wipe the slate clean'. So for that they need to keep someone as clear as possible of it so they don't get too associated. I think that person could be Sunak...

But theoretically if you were, why can't it be changed?

With Johnson you're never sure exactly what his opinion is - he changes it every five minutes depending on what he thinks will be popular. He has made speeches in the past that seemingly put economic worth over human well-being, but again that may well have been playing to his particular...

Every bit of the UK is sticking together behind the Stay at Home advice except us.

There may be an element of that but I think the main reason is because they think it's bad advice. Cases and deaths are still far too high to be relaxing measures and have decided to put out their own message on the grounds of what is best for the people. Over the coming weeks it will be...
