technically classed as a temporary "civil servant" and paid by central govt.
Each Govt minister (and shadow minister) can appoint their own special advisers. Again all paid by central govt.
That's why Javid quit when Cummings tried to sack his personal advisers.

Poor choice of words. I meant he’s not like Vallance and others who were in post pre Johnson. He’s been brought in by Johnson.

There’s definitely an element of Carry On about this government. No one will convince me Matt Hancock isn’t a lost extra from The Thick Of It either.

Is he actually running away from the virus. Does he think it is like the film The Fog, or Fortnite?

Or maybe he just let off an enormous fart and doesn't want to get blamed for it.

He has been chairing the meetings & is essentially the de facto PM, so I guess he knows he's pretty vulnerable now

Is Spain approaching peak of its outbreak?
Spaniards have seen the daily number of deaths rise from 462 at the start of the week, to 769 in the past 24 hours. The latest figure is the highest in one day so far, and brings the total since the outbreak began to 4,858.

But top health official Fernando Simón is holding out hope that the numbers could soon start going down, saying the latest figures "indicate little by little the possible arrival at the peak". Around one in seven of the 64,059 Spanish cases is listed as recovered, and there's been a big rise in the past 24 hours.

This health ministry graph illustrates the spread of Covid-19 across Spain.The green bar shows those who have recovered, the pale blue highlights the number in hospital, the yellow those in intensive care and the red the growth in fatalities.

Depends, it’s not so much how many currently die, it’s how many new people with the virus there are, for a while deaths will increase while new people with the virus get it reduce which is why the authorities called for this three week lockdown, although that officially started Monday I think it will be more from this weekend when this lockdown will be more rigorously enforced.

Dunno about anyone else, but I’d feel 1000% more confident if Johnson binned Cummings off and went back to his London Mayoral team running things for him instead.

Yeah I think I need to self isolate. Not because of the virus, because if I don't I might go insane, too much random, bizarre, unexplainable shite going on everywhere.

Said he avoids the tube cos he’s scared of getting it, yet was proposing a solution that would guarantee he got it.

Weird man.

I'm not comfortable with gloating about this and I'm not, but my god there is a certain level of karma in these people getting it after the way they dithered & messed around and failed to prepare.

Actually fuck them. Why are they getting tested when they have "mild symptoms" when thousands of healthcare workers are being denied tests????? And going into work in a global pandemic with the wrong equipment?

He already had his own short-lived steak business at one point.

But in general, the US has to now consider removing him from office under emergency measures as not fit. He's endangering millions of lives out of narcissism and an obsession with money. He's making African dictators look competent.

You tend to find now, the people at the supermarkets are the ones that didn't stock pile. And have fuck all food left in their house. Like myself. Trust me, if I didn't have to queue to get into Tesco, I wouldn't.
