I think you are right on the timing but you know I just don’t trust the government not to totally drop the bollock on this. Just look at the narrative in the papers and on the TV in the last few days... it’s there for a reason. A plan has to include a vaccination schedule, staggered return and a guarantee that safety will be paramount. Otherwise we’ll be discussing this again in Lockdown 5 at the end of the year, after killing a lot more people because they didn’t get this last bit right.

Said this last month. Decide on a vaccination target (2 jabs given, not 1 offered) combined with an NHS capacity target if needs be that needs to be hit before x level of reopening.

He didn't really save anything. He stepped down because he was going to lose his seat as well as most other Scottish Labour MPs. The rout up here is total for Labour.

Reminded that Chris Whitty said we’d have done well if we reach 20000 deaths so five times as many, is that terrible or criminal or just bad luck?

The question though is how rapidly is that going to shoot up again when restrictions are lifted.

Boris talks as if there’s nothing that could have been done about any of it. Crocodile tears mate when you locked down too late again in December. They reckon a week delay led to 20000 more deaths

I will be amazed if Parliament lasts for the full term after this pandemic is over. Tough questions will need to be asked all around.

I think it shows how out of touch most people are with politics away from Westminster. When you have a populist left-leaning party in Scotland compared to Westminster then it is going to leave most things screwed for everyone in England.

Well

UK coronavirus deaths could reach 7,000 to 20,000: Ferguson

UK deaths from the coronavirus could rise to between about 7,000 and 20,000 under measures taken to slow the spread of the virus, Neil Ferguson, a professor at Imperial College in London who has helped shape the government's response, said on Sunday.

In a normal country this is totally correct. But here, there is no one to ask the questions. The opposition won’t even do it for fucks sake.

Sorry it was Patrick Vallance

Coronavirus: 20,000 UK deaths would be 'good outcome', Sir Patrick Vallance said in March

The government's chief science adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, has said the aim is to keep the number of coronavirus deaths below 20,000.

One of the worst set of figures in the world and still refusing to admit he did anything wrong with the chief apologist Whitty trying to deflect for him

Now is not the time for a call of no confidence in a petition to Parliament. I can see it happening though when we come out the other side.
