I wonder who could be responsible?

Carrie Symonds' role in 'governing' the UK should be investigated, Tory think-tank says

The Bow Group is concerned that Ms Symonds may be having an influence inside Number 10, despite holding no role.

Still. At least we got away from all those pesky unelected bureaucrats.

Marr pulling up Hancock on the court case. If I hadn't been sitting down I'd have fainted.
Hancock trying to lie his way out of trouble. Marr not letting it go, he's forgotten himself!!
Hancock trying to deflect by talking about the vaccination roll out. What a c**t.

I haven't but not surprised.
Not criticising the Tories is clearly his strategy.

Carry on stealing, nothing to see here.

We should never have prosecuted Peter Sutcliffe, yes he killed 13 women but his deliveries were on time and his tacographs in order.

As an aside, I was speaking to a bloke the other day who his child was actually learning *more* with schools shut. The child's got some learning difficulties, and not being distracted so much when lessons are online have meant his grades have shot up.

There could be a whole opportunity after this to look at learning for students that need additional support. Using combination of in lesson/online learning could really help to improve the experience for lots of students.

I think academically that could be the case - two polar opposites. Those wanting to learn aren't being disrupted or distracted by those that don't and can go at a pace they want, often quite a bit quicker than the pace of the class.

On the other hand those than don't want to will be massively falling backwards and we'll very much have a massive disparity. Which links into the point of finding things that interest these kids to get them engaged rather than prescription a narrow curriculum based heavily on academic achievement but that an argument for a different time.

One thing that I think is universal is that it'll be stunting their social skills. You often find with prodigies that get degrees at 10 that they can't function in social settings because their entire concentration has been on academic achievement. It could be a lot worse without modern technology allowing them to keep in touch but it's still far from ideal.

if the Government hold their nerve and refuse to bow to pressure we could be in a position of control over the virus in as little as 3 months, after a full year of being under the viruses control.
Am I confident they will step up and show the necessary resolve No unfortunately.

Strange for them to specify kids outdoor sport. Wonder why adults isn’t released at the same time.

Just spoke to my sister and she works in ICU at UHCW she’s really happy the way things are going and they are all so positive.Just saying the few that are coming on to the ward now are in there 20s/30s so hopefully the older generation are becoming less infective.
Onwards and upwards my fellow Skyblues!!

Saying foreign holidays is all well and good, but where else is going to be opened up? Missus’s Mum is a nurse in the Netherlands and isn’t expected to get her first dose until April. So we aren’t planning to see her this year.

Why is this being announced in the media again, didn't they get a telling off from the speaker for not addressing parliament first? Not even being subtle, you've got ministers on breakfast TV dropping out parts of tonights announcement.

Fear we've not learned from past mistakes and are rushing again. Whats really different about schools now to when they went back for one day? Teachers aren't vaccinated, majority of parents won't be either. Still I'm sure the leader of the opposition will side with the scientists, teachers and teaching unions and oppose this.

The overseas summer holidays seems an odd thing to commit to now. Why not push UK holidays rather than risk a repeat of last summer where we got our numbers right down only to have a surge when people came back from their holidays with it.
