    Sorry but that is absurd. Both may be biased but the Mail are on a completely different level. If you forget the national debate 4 do some excellent international reporting and analysis.

    Look at the difference in how Dianne Abott was treated for her number gaffee compared to Patel. And she was only trying to read a number from a piece of paper as opposed to remember a figure!

    She has come across as arrogant and sneering the whole time so I had my suspicions from the start. She then came across very badly in front of the select committee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FFS they've been dropping hints all week things will be relaxed. Noticed a change this week in terms of how many people are about and their demeanour. Talking of mixed messages have you seen the gov tweet about not being tempted out if you fancy chicken wings? It's hilariously tone deaf but...

    Is it a case of white males being less likely to get the job or just giving the oppurtunity to anyone? I've defaulted myselft to judging something as positive discrimination but sometimes when you look into it it is actually perfectly fair. I'm not saying that's the case with MP selection as I...

    Should be mandatory for an event like this. Remove the politics and focus on getting things done. The daily briefing is 3/4 PR and marketing, it's an embarrassment.

    Raises some good points. The knock on effects could be huge, both politically and economically. As May points out there is a risk nationalism and isolationism could rise further and have long term damaging effects globally. Think on what the likes of Orban, Trump and Bolsonaro could do if they...

    And we had the luxury of watching the virus take hold in other countries first and didn't react.

    I don't hate Johnson, I hate very, few people. He'd probably be a good laugh and he can be quite charming. However, it is a matter of fact that he has been sacked from almost every job he has ever had for either lying or incompetence. He is openly lazy, not detail orientated, clearly more...

    Agreed. Been getting the distinct impression that a fair few countries are for all intents and purposes going to give up as it's too hard to deal with. Make some noise about track and trace apps and precautions to keep the press and public quiet but pressure people back to work and hope for the...

    Maybe it's like the five tests, they're under pressure to come up with something so will just wing it then modify it later?

    The government don't help talking about a quick recovery. How they can say that based on some of the economic indicators is beyond belief.

    Interesting take shmmeee. Although I agree with your core point I think some of these will stick to an extent due to the behavioral influence but there are aspects of a couple that will also have economic drivers, For instance, some businesses reporting productivity rises from WFH and will see...

    It's actually quite stunning how in three messages you managed to go from defending yourself from an accusation that you're wrong about everything to suggesting I wasn't aware you could have a job and a pension. Olympic level deflection and diversion, well done.
