Curious how silly questions can enter my head. Of those delivering vaccines (develop, manufacture, distribute, arrange, inject), how many did or would vote tory?

Not convinced this is a sensible, helpful or otherwise positive approach but the emotional aspect is understandable:

Huh! Gave that to you on a plate. :)

Quite a number of years ago, there was probably the largest ever exhibition of MC Escher works - in Rotterdam. Only time I ever flew over for a weekend. Very, very impressive. With brexit and Covid-19, seems like an impossible dream. Oh yes - Honda are shutting up shop so at least that...

Public Health Wales are not impressed - but they should have been involved earlier: A coronavirus outbreak has been declared at the UK vehicle licensing agency's contact centre in Swansea. Public Health Wales says there have been 352 cases of Covid-19 at the DVLA centre at Swansea Vale in...

Last time I heard her voice, she made it sound as if it was a job she could not refuse. In the sense that if you are asked, there is some sort of duty to accept, if possible. Not that the remuneration is so huge... That is around 3,500 universal credit extra £20 payments per week. Or how many...

Now even the weather is conspiring... Four vaccination centres have been closed with snow causing some travel disruption in Wales. Appointments at the Bridgend, Rhondda, Abercynon and Merthyr Tydfil centres for Sunday will be rescheduled for safety reasons, the Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board...

I know. But the more obvious issues based on the figures were, in my eyes, Scotland and Wales.

Maybe not quite as it appears - or is she rolling out excuses instead of vaccinations? Asked why Scotland’s vaccine rollout was initially slower than elsewhere in the UK, Nicola Sturgeon said that the Scottish government had taken a deliberate decision, in line with JCVI advice, to focus...

I haven't read the full details in both publications. But reporting is reporting. Honest reporting can result in one finding a figure of 33% and the other finding 89% and each being reported. It is not wrong to report a lower percentage being spouted by someone in Israel. If that is what the...

No 10's advisers say the real figure is 89%, starting 14 days after first injection If they use subheads like that, I have no faith in their story. At 14 days, it might reach 89%, but it surely doesn't suddenly come in at that level after 14 days.

Maybe rumours about Covid-19 being spread by the government are real! Mind, not because they made a decision to do so and successfully implemented a plan. No - simple incompetence and stupidity: Grant Shapps faces fury over mass Covid outbreak at DVLA Minister under fire for ‘shameful’ virus...

It's all very well hoping for admission of the truth. Then what? Rotting fish, lost business and piles of red tape. The reality of Brexit hits Britain Many Brexiteer lawmakers felt vindicated when the world didn't fall off its axis in the immediate aftermath of Brexit, as plenty of the...

He'd almost certainly do better than the original! Kenneth Branagh to play Boris Johnson in TV drama about Covid crisis The Scepted Isle will examine the PM’s handling of the pandemic and its impact on Britain (That is an original typo in that line! Further down it does have Sceptred - but...

I am suitably cursed! But if they move the entire production and distribution into the EU. And buy all raw materials and other inputs there as well. And pay all taxes over there. And avoid trading with the UK. Why, they get round many of the issues.

Back to brexit - go off to the EU. Official advice. Set up shop in Europe, government advisers tell Brexit-hit businesses Exporters advised by Department for International Trade officials to form EU-based companies to circumvent border issues...

Also shouldn't be surprised at what he did - runway.

They decided against this approach: Simply ignoring the flight of others

Some people really do find it difficult to get their heads around the rules. A light aircraft pilot who landed at a closed RAF base during lockdown "to see the beach" has been fined. Richard Charles Priestley Wood, 60, of Crescent Place, London, landed without permission at RAF Valley, on...
