    You do realise he's a comedian who's columns are all a sarcastic piss take whatever the subject matter? He's not a political journalist though he hits the spot more often than many of them.

    Michael Gove said on TV the other day that it's right to question the government throughout the crisis. It's not point scoring at all. Same as it's right to praise then if they get something right. Every government in the world is being scrutinised by its citizens Stop being silly Dom

    Wonder how long it will take to fully recover? He needs to take the time advised. You can't just walk out of intensive care and back into work.

    couldn't give a fuck about football at the minute to be honest. Don't think that will change until I'm on my way to the train station for the next game or settling down with a carry out to watch it on tele if it's behind closed doors.

    No Dom, I put something similar up last week. That's why you can't get too hung up and the numbers there's a whole host of reasons why they may not be accurate. It must be a nightmare trying to record them accurately at the moment. When the curve starts to flatten you'll know.

    Always good to get your take on these things FP as you obviously have a more in depth knowledge than most. However this government has had 10 years to improve methods of procurement, even if the flawed methods were implemented by Labour. They have also been advised repeatedly to build some...

    He perpetrated some absolute bullshit during the Brexit debate which was a shame because he was spot on with a lot of what he said. When I tweeted to point a couple of things out I got jumped on by the FBPE mob. I tried pointing out that I thought Brexit was going to be a shit show so there was...

    It's weird how she's disappeared. Her comments about unskilled workers could be part of the reason

    But that's for the government to decide not a major. I think it's becoming evident we should have locked down earlier. To be honest, it's not a stick I'd personally use to beat the government too much with, it's a unique situation and the likes of Hong Kong and Singapore learned lessons from...

    I agree about PPE. He should be doing more to help TFL staff rather than just hiding behind the government say it's for NHS workers which he appears to be doing. It's a big leap from that to what you're suggesting.

    Ignoring experts is a nonsensical thing to do. Our politicians ignored the recommendations of the 2016 pandemic drill and look at the state of the NHS going in to this crisis. Of course experts do get it wrong and shouldn't be beyond question. I'm not even sure the London mayor has the power to...

    But it's been pointed out that he was just parroting what he was told. Imagine if he ignored the chief medical officer? Like I said, not a fan of his but I can't see this was on him.

    The Boris handshake got so much traction because when people were speculating that might be how he caught the virus people were saying it didn't happen despite video evidence. The way (I think Chris Whitty) stepped in at the press conference would also suggest the PM was not adhering to what...
