Someone needs to publish the list of all invitees - and who attended. Having been invited but kept quiet is itself an issue. But having attended and kept quiet, effectively lying by omission, could be a bigger problem.

Though I was referring to the glaringness of their faults.

Like a torch with a failing battery when contrasted against Johnson's thermonuclear explosion just in front of your cornea in terms of glaring faults.

Magical evidence creation device launched by UK government: UK Covid: No 10 says it hopes evidence will ‘soon’ be available to justify cutting isolation period to five days – live

Quite.

I see we are ready for brexit and plant movements. Less than PEACH-y: UK's plant export IT system only works with Internet Explorer You know, the browser used by 0.34% of netizens nowadays A key British border IT system used by plant and seed exporters is so ancient that it will only work with...

If I fail, I'll provoke a potentially devastating mess. Which will hurt me more than it hurts you. (Shades of sadistic teachers.) Liz Truss ‘willing’ to trigger article 16 of Brexit protocol if talks falter As she prepares for crunch EU talks this week, the foreign secretary says her priority...

Like the "Learn to live with it" phrase. With the unspoken rider " - and, if you can't, die with it."

Annoying website. But this is why the naive "Omicron is the beginning of the end", "Covid will be like the common cold" statements/claims are so objectionable. Obviously, we can hope, but when people with qualifications state, seemingly with certainty, that such things are true, they undermine...

Some ideas: Could microclots help explain the mystery of long Covid? Resia Pretorius My lab has found significant microclot formation in long Covid patients. Unfortunately, these are missed in routine blood tests https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/05/long-covid-research-microclots

But the government repeatedly deny NHS overwhelmed. Indeed, any overwhelming is all in their heads. Adding: Previously, Johnson has said he would bring in further restrictions if there was a risk of the NHS becoming overwhelmed. However, the prime minister accepted it may already be happening...

I watched a fair bit of it live. His ability to listen and answer questions is unparalleled in the UK government. Not perfect, of course. Makes mistakes, of course. But give me Drakeford any day.

Probably not as much as the fast food culture and sugar-heavy drinks by the gallon. (By no means a paragon of healthy eating, I sometimes simply think about how much extra sugar I would have consumed had I not quit sugar in tea and coffee over forty years ago.)

Meanwhile, someone still has it in for Truss: Trade department questioned over food and drink bill for Liz Truss Japan trip DIT initially said Truss and three officials spent £182 of public money over three nights, but FoI response shows £2,080 spend ... “There is a clear pattern of behaviour...

What a difference a day makes 24 little hours Brought the sun and the flowers Where there used to be rain Thursday 06/01/2022: UK farmers sceptical after minister urges them to ‘stand ground’ on fair prices George Eustice tells sector facing margins cut to bone by supermarkets they should...

Surely the SNP absolutely LOVE that verse? Acting as a recruiting sergeant for independence. (The fact that your quoted version has "King" tends to imply non-recent use. Unless news hasn't yet reached me.)

Maybe depends on which version... When all the sceptre'd crew Have paid their Homage, due The Guillotine Let Freedom's flag advance Till all the world, like France O'er tyrants' graves shall dance And peace begin.

Ineptitude in setting up the furlough scheme - even under intense time pressure. Surely some "if you didn't need it, we'll grab it back" clause should have been the minimum? Bookmaker Ladbrokes claimed £102m from the furlough scheme, despite rapid growth in online betting making up for all...
