They're surpassing themselves with the idiotic "clutching at straws" questions today !!

100 year old "left behind", she was "promised" vaccine by "Friday" but isn't getting it until "Sunday".

Mrs Ned switched over before the questions - is that the best of them? Did any of the msm succeed in their daily pursuit of gotcha moments?

Anyone care to guess what the Daily Express headline will be tomorrow?

Nah, they just made utter fools of themselves as usual.

It really is pathetic and at times cringeworthy.

The other UK nations have put more jags in arms than Scotland has at present. The 'offered' discrepancy refers to care homes only, yes?

The problem is we can only assume that is the case in England, we simply have no idea how many people have received and actual injection. This should never have happened and had it not been following about a hundred f**k ups previously then it was be resignation material

Test positivity below 5% is better news 

Reading through this guy's tweets the WHO no longer use the positivity rate we hear about each day. And it would seem the lateral flow tests don't get included in the numbers so that inflates the positivity rate as only positives from there get a PCR test.

Thank God we've got quality journalism in this country.............
I enjoyed how after days of comparing our speed of the rollout to that in England by the media how the sun decided to query why, after days where we have been better than England, we are focusing on England and not Wales or NI.

Do we have guaranteed supplies to remain at 45k plus daily?

I had assumed that's why there was a 'stockpile' - to ensure a regular roll out of the vaccine over time as opposed to chucking it at folks and running out.

Douglas Ross especially seems to have a bit of difficulty in understanding that there is a need to ensure ongoing supply which is why you keep a reserve.

Whilst the use of his rank etc might not have been exactly by the book, I think anyone who served in WW2 is pretty far removed from someone who spends a few years on a base in Germany then makes out he was a one man black op taking the fight to terrorists all around the world.

His use of rank was entirely by the book.  Captain and above can use their rank on leaving the forces.

None of my relatives who served in the Second World War ever talked about their experiences (apart from my father who talked a little bit about guarding the Forth Bridge - that's what he spent the war doing - who saw colleagues killed on exercises). Not him, not my Uncle Jimmy (submariner), not my Uncle Dave (Desert Rat), not my Uncle Bob (Merchant Navy). Not the two fellas I knew who were at Dunkirk, other than to say they were at Dunkirk. Nor the 4 chaps I knew who were in Japanese/Italian PoW camps, other than to say they were prisoners.

Different generation. Nowadays it would be all over Facebook and Twitter.

And launching a go fund me page.

Yeah I've now seen some numbers that may or may not be accurate. Suggests we already have around 1.3m doses, and of course have used around 660k.  We'll eat into those supplies over the next few weeks so the "stockpile" will reduce, but it does seem we'll have enough to maintain 50k+ thankfully.
