I haven't read many reports, but one says: Hundreds of people who have recently returned from South Africa, where the variant was detected, and neighbouring countries are expected to be tracked down and offered tests in an effort to avoid the new variant entering the UK. But there is no "If...

They keep doing it because they feel invulnerable: HMRC to relocate to Newcastle office owned by Tory donors via tax haven Exclusive: Deal is part of north-east regeneration scheme developed by property tycoons David and Simon Reuben...

Does that imply a shortage of (UK-made) plastic baths? I am frequently concerned by the apparent lack of effective on-site fire suppression - sprinklers, etc. - even in such potentially nastily flammable industries.

'Twas meant to be a capital pun rather than a serious suggestion that it is a joke. :)

It's the gaber one? (Gaber - old word for joke.)

You OK OG? Hessle fire: explosions heard as firefighters tackle huge blaze near Hull Some residents evacuated and public told to avoid area as emergency services respond to incident

Sir Kier Starmer, he is getting some good words in: Starmer calls Tory social care plan a ‘working-class dementia tax’

But you know they'd mis-read the specifications and put out a contract to hire circus performers. Probably to their friends.

The HoC also has cleaners...

And I was moderately pleased to see: Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru to cooperate on almost 50 policy areas Parties say deal is not coalition but ‘bespoke agreement’ to create a stable Senedd capable of delivering ‘radical change and reform’...

I thought Tigger had been used for Hancock? Raab says Boris Johnson’s ‘Tiggerish’ personality behind controversial speech – UK politics live We don't want no tigger as PM. We want a mature, moral, law-abiding, intelligent, thoughtful person with a high level of leadership skills - both with...

Vaccinations potentially have consequences. So, too, do non-vaccinations! I couldn't help a feeling of Schadenfreude. Seven doctors contract Covid after attending Florida anti-vaccine summit Doctors tested positive or developed symptoms ‘within days’ of conference at which alternative...

Johnson’s CBI speech shouldn’t be derided solely on the basis of the mocking headlines. Though that was a good start. No, of course not, look at some of the rest and ask if any of it is real, true, factual. Sorry – quickly found figures for 2017 – which show north-east way behind south-east...

Hopefully, won't need to count further than the Play School windows? :) But if he needs help...

I find it astonishing that Downing Street has seen fit to issue this double-denial: Boris Johnson is not unwell and has not lost his grip, says No 10 Dignifying the allegations with a response, any response but especially this response, surely acts to amplify the seriousness rather than...

"Holmes, why did Bulb go bust?" "Filamentary, my dear Watson."

Seems particularly ridiculous of Johnson praising Peppa when, no time at all ago, we were treated to many stories about pig shooting.

He appeared more on the ball as he returned from Lebedev in Italy - and that was truly dreadful.

I'd tend to agree but he slipped a long time ago and they haven't moved yet. Maybe they don't want too long for a new leader/PM to become extremely unpopular before the next GE? I suspect they will face a LOT of calls for an early GE whoever takes over and whenever that is. There is pretty much...
