Banning crowds. You should keep up with the news mate.

Was the same last night.

No update. Straight into questions

As expected Hancock in the Commons hasn't actually answered a single specific question about any of yesterdays allegations. Brazen c***s.

If he thinks people aren't meeting up indoors in Glasgow regardless of postcode just now anyway then he's even more stupid than Freeman.

Cases are rising and have been for some time in more than a couple of LA's. Read Superbigal's daily updates. Yes no real uptick in hospitalizations or deaths but numbers can't continue to rise unchecked or there will be eventually. My main gripe is why our numbers are so much higher than the rest of the UK. There has to be a social / behavioral element to that, it's too constant and sustained not to be now. Of course relaxation of measures means uptick but ours is way out of line per head of population. Why ? Why? The vulnerable are protected. The link has been broken. Even Sturgeon almost admitted that this week.

Just turned the darts on. Looks to be a good crowd. Not being played in Scotland then.

If very few people are going into hospital who cares about knowing how many people have the virus? It’s utterly irrelevant other than allowing the government to bang on about their “world beating” test and trace system. it’s achieving nothing at this point in time.

Johnson getting booted around now about the 2nd lockdown. This is brilliant stuff.

what channel are they showing the rest of this on? ETA it's now back on BBC News

He's also still subtly pushing his own agenda, the one he actually wanted to implement when he became Johnsons special advisor. He's long been critical of the way government operates and wanted to change it. A lot of the criticisms are being made with that angle in mind that government is essentially not fit for purpose the way it currently operates.

Ooft.

Part of the problem with modern politics. Hancock should be a dead man walking and it seems like no-one can understand how he's still in post. When asked explicitly why the PM didn't fire him Cummings didn't have an answer. Hancock/Johnson et al resigning was never on the cards because as you say there is no sense of shame these days. I've seen people keep idiots in post in my working environment and the only reason I can ever see is those in charge want yes men who will be no threat to their position.

He's lobbed multiple hand grenades in and exposed the jolly boys club probably in a way that's never been done before. When you employ a w****r like Cummings you have to expect that when it goes south he'll turn on you as he has nothing politically to lose.

Is anyone else getting the impression that Hancock has shagged cummings bird?

Well that was fun. Restored my faith in the operation of government. We're in safe hands

tbf he has about the initial stages saying he failed as well. I'm a bit behind so don't know if he's said anything about the Barnard Castle thing.

It's a car crash. I'm guessing Cummings won't be getting a Christmas card from Hancock or Johnson this year.

Anyone else watching Cummings giving evidence to the select committee? He's going in two footed on the government. Jeremy Hunt fighting back on behalf of the government.

"She said that if it was established that vaccines had “broken the link” between cases, hospital admissions and deaths it would mean she would not have to react “quite so aggressively” to future outbreaks. The major change comes after Ms Sturgeon repeatedly emphasised for almost a year the need to effectively “eliminate” coronavirus by driving case numbers to their lowest possible levels. As recently as March, when the vaccination programme was well under way, she described elimination as the "only sensible strategy" and warned that the virus “won’t play ball” with any attempt to keep case numbers at a “medium level”. She has also repeatedly pressed the UK Government to adopt her elimination goal. However, she revealed on Tuesday that she hoped to ditch the approach, because even if there was a surge in cases, this no longer necessarily meant that a significant number of hospitalisations and deaths would follow."

Absolutely. If Mrs. Back has anything that falls outside of the 40 degree parameter she shouldn’t be putting it in the washing basket. Same for putting whites in the darks basket. Darwins way of saying that garment doesn’t deserve to live.

Underwear and towels go in the tumbler. Everything else gets hung up.

everything gets fired in at 40 degrees when I empty the washing basket. never read a clothing label in my puff.

Could they not find a Florence Nightingale?
