    But is one going to be available? I agree about the timescale that is, really, required. It has taken - realistically - well over six months to reach where we are. A few before New Year, but by almost all from January to now. We need a booster, if there is going to be one, asap if the Marr...

    Just saw a comment about the tories being lucky to have such depths of talent to choose a successor to Hancock from. Depths, yes, the tories plumb and inhabit them. Just how low did Hancock go?

    Johnson’s letter: “And your efforts mean that we have a record numbers of doctors and over 14.800 more nurses working in our NHS than last year.” (Poor sentence construction and grammar. Perhaps it obeyed the rules for Ancient Greek?) Government figures from January 2021 state: Provisional...

    The current main contender seems to be spineless. But "what have they got on him?" has got to be a possibility. But I prefer the idea that he simply hasn't got anyone to put in their places. His coterie is spent and there aren't any new joiners. Too stupid to realise that CCTV is recording...

    What a beautiful day for knocking on the door of the Russian Embassy and saying 'Is Len in'? And bung me that Hancock video while you are at it. You have to be gentle on Hancock. He's under a lot of stress. Oops, I mean Tress.
