    Especially when schools of that size are in buildings designed for several hundred less. I know it’s only draft but you can bet your bottom dollar they did not consult with school leaders or unions. So inevitable resistance is coming.

    They don’t look great to be honest just from a logistics point of view

    Personally I worry about any indoor setting where we will be expected to be at normal capacity.

    At least you told me off to save Dom coming in later to accuse me of wanting to stay in lockdown for the next 50 years.

    I’m making the point that you can manipulate stats to say anything - just depends which ones you want to use and how you use them.

    For lovers of statistics - today’s death rate is 60% higher than last Monday.

    I was happy with his pledges that he ran on. I’m prepared to give him time, he has responded well to some things, and a couple of things concern me.

    I was referring more to on the ground activists - sorry I wasn’t clearer.

    This was one of the far less mentioned things that came out of the leaked report. ‘Allegedly’ the people responsible for either shaping or delivering this channelled resources to seats where the party had comfortable majorities and kept it away from marginals that could have resulted in more...

    I agree with this point - this is what led it to its disastrous Brexit policy of 2019. Members do not necessarily correspond to voters.

    Would you advocate a change in the voting system to something else if it was possible to change?

    Yet what you are doing is assuming that as I identify on the left of the political spectrum that you can somehow ‘define’ my opinions on this matter. And to suggest that I am trying to somehow legitimise it is utter rubbish, even by your standards. It is a hugely complex matter - not one fully...

    More whataboutery from you. We were discussing AS - you’ve now brought another examples such as Cuba. Shall I just counter that and say what about Saudi Arabia supplying weapons to kill innocents in Yemen - like it’s some kind of atrocity Top Trumps?

    As you’ve lived there and have more insight than most of us, how do you see the Israel/Palestine conflict and how support for either seems to align with right/left politically. Genuinely interested to get some insight from someone with more firsthand experience. Thanks

    I know Clint has mentioned on here the issue with Reeves over Nancy Astor, there are other examples of misogyny, racism that is not AS that have not been auctioned on, not to mention very little decisiveness on the leaked report (he seemed more concerned at finding the people that leaked it)...

    To be honest I think the acid test will come when large scale indoor settings go live - schools will return in September, in full with no social distancing just in time for the warm weather to depart these shores.
