Indeed, after the almighty ballsup they'd made with the "world-beating" app, the "world-leading" track and trace and the countless U-turns and prevarication, and leading Europe in the number of deaths, there was the possibility that they'd manage not to cock up something.

It was first detected in Wuhan but as the WHO reports says: “Where an epidemic is first detected does not necessarily reflect where it started”. Traces of the virus were found in retrospective samples of sewage in Spain from 2019. As it is believed to come from bats, it could have been in other areas of Asia. There's no definitive answer.

Yes he was democratically elected and now he's been democratically un-elected. As for the criticism he's had, the job of an opposition party is to oppose (the clue's in the name). If he'd accepted the result gracefully he could have possibly run in 2024 but all this voter fraud nonsense has made him a complete laughing stock and I can't see the Republicans going anywhere near him in the future.

They have schools in Pompey??

You should know your rightful place in society and confine yourself to turnips.

Why didn't Truss answer? The question was clear enough . As for incompetent politicians, Boris has a cabinet full of them, Williamson probably being the pick of the bunch.

In that case, why didn't Truss explain her own department's figures? It's irrelevant how she voted, she just wanted a simple answer to a simple question. And what's Abbott got to do with it?

I'm sure that a government as competent as ours could do that within a day or two. They probably appoint Vicky Pollard: "Yeah but, no but yeah but....."

What's that got to do with trade deals?

To send your children to school you are supposed to be a key worker. However, the schools are just taking people's word for this so a lot of parents seem to be taking advantage of the scheme so that they can continue to work. If it continues like this I imagine that the school will ask for proof that the parent is a key worker.

Lyn Truss looks like she's swallowed a wasp. Southampton Freeport was started in 1983. The company still exists as Southampton Free Trade Zone but has been dormant for many years. Emily Thornberry confronting Secretary of State Liz Truss over her exaggerations regarding the UK-Japan trade deal.mp4

Go to court and ask the police to define "local". When does "local" become "not-local"?

And to think that Boris suggested nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/politics-headlines/the-morons-guide-to-not-voting-for-idiots-20210108204068

I imagine that the person responsible for security in the Capitol will be looking for another job tomorrow.

Who is she? Is she a "celebrity"?

I've been watching CNN today. A lot of commentators believe that the Republican Party could split between the "sensible" ones and the Trump diehards.

He's really deranged. Looks like both Georgia seats will go to the Democrats giving them control of the Senate as well as Congress.

Especially if you're mates with a Tory MP.

I'm only surmising but, if the test itself doesn't tell you then they may pick a selection of samples for more in-depth testing.

That can't be right. Just before Christmas the schoolboy who runs the Education department gave a "cast-iron guarantee" that exams would go ahead.

So you're basing your opinion on one hospital. How many not in ICU but taking up beds? What evidence have you got that "it's the same in vast swathes of the country"? How about seeing what the NHS has to say? https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/covid-patients-piling-up-at-the-door-as-hospitals-risk-getting-overwhelmed/

Maybe a vacancy at Chelsea soon.

The teacher's unions did ask for this but it was turned down. It's obvious by now that this government is reactive not proactive. It waits until hospitals are bursting at the seams before it acts. We appear to be heading for a national lockdown with maybe stricter measures. But Boris is frightened by his own MPs and will only act when his hand is forced by the worsening situation.
