    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s what I’m saying though. Why jump ship because of it ? Doesnt make sense

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Either way he’s attached to it as he negotiated it, so jumping ship doesn’t make a blind bit of difference. If anything you’d want to minimise negative impacts from current negotiations and not allow someone new to come in and blame you for the mess. Will probably become clear in coming weeks...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve not heard too much from Wes streeting before but caught some of him on LBC and thought he came across pretty well. As did Tobias Elwood shortly after. Whether they’re decent or not it’s hard to tell but always slightly reassuring when you can hear at least some sensible, logical and not...

    Agreed. Silverwood and Root just don’t trust our spinners 🤷‍♂️. This pitch would’ve maybe helped Leach or Bess restore some of their confidence at this level. Shame rashid isnt fit enough to play test cricket.

    I think it means you need two weeks after jab for vaccine to fully kick in It’s saying you are more likely to catch Omicron than delta even with booster/vaccination. The benefit of booster appears not to stop transmission/contagion but to keep immunity levels to the point that you’re extremely...

    Had personal experience of this, assuming symptoms don’t kick in now. Tested positive after getting pinged on Tuesday and testing Wednesday morning but still no symptoms...hopefully it’s stays that way ! Anecdotal but also heard of other people with similar/same situation Edit - as I mentioned...

    Parker v chisora

    Parker couldn’t miss with that uppercut. Entertaining fight but worried if Chisora continues much longer he’s taking so many clean shots. Unbelievable how he kept coming back

    Parker v chisora

    Yeah, should be entertaining. Not sure how much Chisoras got left at the higher levels but he’s always game

    My beautiful wife RIP,

    Ive got no advice on grief other than deal with it in your own way. Life is just very cruel sometimes but remember all the good times together, they can never be taken away. My condolences to you and your son. Stay strong for one another

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    As I mention above there is a sensible discussion to be had around length of self isolation though to minimise periods where a person is isolating but isn’t contagious. There is also a theory that if you are able to safely reduce the period you’ll get a higher rate of compliance. It would need...

    Yeah, I’m not talking for good, especially for Pope. However he’s almost the most disappointing as by all accounts he’s a quality player at county level that everyone raves about but something not right at the moment. Flatters for device but plenty of time for him.Hoping he’s not another Hick ...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There’s a lot of talk about reducing the 10 days isolation. I read somewhere that 98% of transmission would happen in first five days and this might be even less with Omicron. They should consider moving to second test after say 5 or 6 but not sure if PCRs are too sensitive so they might still...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, bizarrely and not sure how but he managed to successfully distance himself from previous governments and suggested reversing decisions and actions those governments took. He won’t be able to do it again...but a new leader might try !

    You say that but one of the (very few) things we’ve done in this mess that I’m proud of was fund the development of a vaccine and ensure the producer (AZ) would deliver initial X billion doses at not for profit, not just for us but for the wider world. How many other countries have done that ...

    100% agree but they still have no idea of real life impact of natural immunity, vaccines and boosters on severe illness/hospitalisation.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    From investigations a year ago ?! I’m not defending what happened, it’s pretty indefensible but I just think theres better use of resources especially in current climate. Do I think police would've entered workplaces and fined/arrested people for after work gatherings/Xmas quizzes last year ...

    I really like Buttler and thought he’d finally got to grips with test cricket over the past year or so but he’s not looking good...the drops were poor (albeit one very good catch) and I’m wondering if his minds on the job as he’s had a kid recently and was one of the players they thought might...
