A few short months ago we were discussing refurb aloowances for Downing Street. Just checking, when they say £30,000 per year, is that a flat (ho :) ) rate per year, or per year per PM? You know, in case...

I wonder what are the mean and modal ages of torygraph readers?

I did appreciate the logic inversions implicit in the comment. :)

Seems Turkeys did vote for Christmas. Claims that it is likely there will be a shortage this Christmas. Same brexit issues as Nando's chicken supply issues.

What is the difference between the Taliban (in taking over Afghanistan) and the Spanish Inquisition? Perhaps Raab should have asked some random people on the internet?

Remember the pingdemic? Seems another set of thanks to Dido, et al. It was counting back five days - instead of two. So many more were pinged than should have been. Apparently now updated. It was a bug - at least in the sense it wasn't doing what was needed. Though whether the number was in the...

While Biden is getting all the criticism, it was the previous incumbent who actually decided to withdraw. The difficulty of reversing that decision might have been greater than we can appreciate.

Are any of you doing lateral flow tests a couple of times a week? Depending where you look, some government pages seem to suggest we should all be doing so. Others limit by considering various factors.

Doesn't Sajid Javid have any mates who run pubs? According to today's Times ... Hospitals and GPs have been told to stop non-essential blood tests amid a shortage of blood-collecting tubes. Genomics testing for unwell new-born babies, and as part of pre-natal screening or cancer diagnosis...

Seem to be a few countries missing - any more above us?

The politicians we have often seem more concerned about their danglers.

Not much new for those who have been following the governement contracts/back channel issues.

The death is when long Covid sufferers die from suicide. That the numbers are, compared with 100,000 or more, tiny doesn't mean they should be ignored.
