Six-week old baby becomes 'youngest person in the world' to die from coronavirus

This is real sad

Possible other reasons for Brown - tarnished by the Iraq war legacy, the messy situation with Blair (the agreement/that fact that he became PM shortly after people voted for Blair in election) and labour had been in power for 15 years.

Brown lost because that’s what happens when you’re in the chair when a recession hits generally.

Boris still showing mild symptoms so will carry on hiding

But yet also got over 40% of the vote make your mind up

It was a two way Brexit election. Without Brexit we’d have been down below 30% in all likelihood.

Elections are easy: you pick three to five voter concerns, put together policies that address them, then hammer that message home.

God knows what the Labour strategists were up to. Even I as an engaged member couldn’t tell you our policy on crime and the NHS but everyone knows Johnson’s promises even if they don’t believe them.

Timing isn’t quiet right yet to get his white charger out to lead the fight back, Monday I reckon.

[David O'Day]

Total cases down by 100

That's good but be prepared for a rise if they ever ramp up testing as they'll capture more non serious cases

Since someone mentioned the joke the other day I've had the image of the WWI Lord Kitchener poster in my head so in the end I had to spend ten minutes knocking up an update for public information/morale.

I don't think the press will be able to gloss over the damage neoliberalism has done this time.

They'll spin it as any form of socialism can't be afforded while the disaster capitalists sweep up what's left.

You ask him that every day and every day he tells you they come out at 5pm

False- you can't trust any of those new case numbers because the testing numbers are so low.

 

[Spurs 'City Away Kit' Kit]

Brown lost because that’s what happens when you’re in the chair when a recession hits generally.

I had dinner with a former Labour cabinet member about a year after the 2010 election and asked at what point they knew they would lose it. Their response was 'The moment the cabinet decided to support Brown as leader' which seemed incredibly harsh.

Good point

 

[wingy]

Is there a precedent being set

Newcastle declared promoted by the RFU a Club Brugge in Belgium declared promoted.
Promising I think.

 

[David O'Day]

Good point

No you can trust them as testing has been consistent.

You can not test everyone in society so you are never going to know exactly how many live cases there are in the uk.

Your probably right lol

let’s hope they have dropped again as we then will see we’re prob 2 weeks off peak in the UK

I think so wingy, seems from the latest tweet the efl sent out they are continuing discussions about how to move forward. I wouldn't be surprised if we are champions by the weekend then try and get the season started as normal in August?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Are the UK numbers released early today or is that normally what time(ish) that they get released?
