    I think their handling of the Coronavirus crisis has proven beyond doubt that saying fuck the Tories is both honest and showing integrity. Not sure what point you’re trying to make.

    Didn’t a Daily Mail, that’s Daily Mail, reporter accuse Laura Kuensberg of tweeting anything Cummings told her unedited and unchecked. Basically accused her of failing to do the basic journalism.

    It’s not surprising that we’re plateauing. It’s almost like there’s no lockdown at all now so wouldn’t be at all surprised if the numbers start climbing again in the next couple of weeks and the plateau turns out to be only a ledge.

    She clearly went about it the wrong way but when you say that she’s changed the long term future for the whole continent you seem to be defaulting to assuming that it’s for the worst.

    Think it was done directly by a government desperate for a headline. Still, it’s not like we had an RAF plane sat on a Turkish runway for three days waiting for the order to be completed putting pressure on getting the order ready so processes were missed meaning that the quality were inferior...

    Just looking at voting statistics in the last GE for age group and having read the Guardian article Stu has linked are the Tories decimating their target audience for votes? You were more likely to vote Tory if you were elderly or have parents who are. With the way the government has palmed of...

    Not sure about Bolsonaro though. The article I saw on the news last night showed was a mix of local politicians just overriding his advice and in areas where that wasn’t happening people that voted for him are turning on him.

    Although both true I doubt her sole reason for getting into politics was to be world king like Boris. I’m sure she was ambitious and ruthless to reach the top however she had some principles. For instance when the “deal that no PM should accept” was clearly that she honoured her partner’s wishes...

    Same here. I actually really liked Boris when he was out of politics and a TV personality. Mind you, you could say he’s still out of politics and is a TV personality. He’s a bit like the Colonel, just because his face is on the bucket it doesn’t mean he’s out back frying the chicken.

    Same here. My wife is shielding so no way are mine going back before September at the least. The schools simply aren’t set up for social distancing even before you go down the route of kids not always following clear instructions.
