    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    leading republicans have got what they deserve for not dealing with Trump after the election by losing the senate. Would be interesting to know how Georgias voting preferences may (almost certainly) have changed post presidential election/trumps bizarre behaviour since

    Haha, I’d heard that’s probably why they are both still in their positions (oh, and Williamson knows where the bodies are buried from his time as chief whip)

    Those pair could well end up being Johnson’s downfall. I can barely listen/watch when either of them are speaking

    Exactly. Whilst Petes right, a lot appear sensible enough, however, you remove any red tape ones immediately and then tailor to requirements ie if it’s a recently retired doctor, health care professional etc then knock a few modules off the list. Also if you are there solely to administer the...

    And let’s honest, a lot of the customers are the people we’re trying to most/best protect !! If I heard my mum was ‘popping down to the local garden centre for a little browse’ I’d go mental !

    Yeah, decent shout but reckon they’ll stick with oldies priority list (probably correct especially as new lockdown ‘should’ help reduce transmission) Think they’ve got loads of volunteers to be fair (I applied the other day - don’t panic not administering, just offered to do some stewarding at...

    Haven’t got a clue how they came to that figure, how much of it’s been spent (or whether it will even end being higher - I bet it will be !).They reckon a majority of the 12bn provision will be spent on testing (article below). Did just check and 54m tests have been carried out to date. Not...

    Its also the one chance the governments got to pull their own arses out the fire so it would be crazy for them not to be throwing everything available at this (so not sure why people would suggest otherwise) There will no doubt be some issues, errors, delays (especially with disruption of a lot...

    I agree about managing expectations but theres also a difference between doses available and how it can be administered (safely). Not sure how/why those original numbers came out, from memory it was during the summer when AZ/Gov were saying how much they could produce by autumn. But as the...

    Daily updates on Vaccines administered from next Monday which is good news (well, if it’s going well) Also heard batch checking is part of the issue but guessing there will challenges in various aspects of the supply to delivery. Ps think we should see how things pan out. The roll out isn’t...

    There's just a lot of weirdos in this world unfortunately ! (Also I did see some psychology behind it, it’s a large item so gets cleared off shelves quicker leading to more panic....I’m still working through my 120 rolls from first lockdown so no panic here !)

    such a fine balance though mate. Everyone hears what they want to anyway. My mate was saying earlier he didn’t like Johnson’s vagueness/flakiness with the timeframes (yet Dom and others mayve heard mid Feb as a set deadline when everything will start to get back to normal). Theyre right to build...

    They never said stuff would be lifted by then though Dom. The aim is to get high risk vaccinated (offered vaccine was the loose wording used) by mid Feb, then 2-3 weeks for those last lot to have immunity kick in. Then some ifs and buts ! edit - that’s what I heard anyway
