No-one here will be surprised. Test and trace system in England failing to contact thousands in worst-hit areas Exclusive: number of close contacts of infected people being reached is below 80% in high infection areas...

Can't decide if he really has any - well, except the one.

Bulk order?

I see the usual response, new law. Ministers are considering strengthening security laws after a report by MPs said the government had "badly underestimated" the threat of Russian interference to the UK. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said a new law requiring foreign agents to register in...

I see the Russia report is now out: Russia report reveals UK government failed to investigate Kremlin interference Intelligence and security committee publishes long-delayed findings on Russia’s influence over UK politics...

It seems unlikely to me that any bike lock, whatever it is made from, will be uncuttable and strong enough to resist all brute force attacks. But we can hope. :) World's first 'uncuttable' material created by British engineers is inspired by grapefruit and shells and could be used to make...

They might well need a wider range of penalties, but they need to improve the process considerably. It should be fast, to some extent it should be automatic, and it should be straightforward for the electorate to identify and raise issues and offer evidence. For example, a failure to make a...

Your point about MSF is itself entirely valid. Unfortunately, they seem to have attracted some severe criticism recently: Médecins Sans Frontières is 'institutionally racist', say 1,000 insiders Medical charity accused of shoring up colonialism and white supremacy in its work...

Predating in some ways makes it even worse. Yes, we know we have contracts with China and Taiwan, but we'll still sign another one which we won't, indeed, can't, honour. If we're lucky, no-one will call us out. Until we have some competent lawyers going through it all, properly, we'll not be...

Seems to have got to the point where telling the truth is news.

Anyone see how well the Irish tracing app is doing? Including in NI. And the rest of the UK still hasn't got one. Adding: Forgot to mention, they also use it in Gibraltar.

This is what happens if you don't do what Cummimgs wants: England's chief nurse dropped from Covid-19 briefing after refusing to back Cummings Ruth May tells MPs she was told she was no longer needed after failing to back Johnson adviser...

Their actions should depend on what the contract terms were/are. We are being told that the contract required them to supply the UK without any ifs, buts or maybes. If the company accepted those terms, they should have supplied us regardless who else came along and demanded preferential...

Surely they were native Americans?

How many more foxes paws? Privacy campaigners say England's test and trace programme has broken a key data protection law. The Department of Health has conceded the initiative to trace contacts of people infected with Covid-19 was launched without carrying out an assessment of its impact on...

Not that there is anything necessarily wrong about this, but it does rather jump out that this is an English track and trace unit being operated from a Scottish site.

I saw that .... Blackburn and Darwen are managing the spectacular level of 44% success in track and trace. I suppose that is world beating for the simple reason no-one else is doing any tracking and tracing for Blackburn and Darwen. Maybe half the people who are supposed to be tracking and...

Bizarre map. I note that despite the Cleddau being an eel river, even has an eel ladder, it does not appear.

Entirely wrong-headed. Perfectly reasonable to hope not to need to lockdown but his statement ends up meaning: If he does need to lockdown, it will reflect badly on this statement, so he will try to avoid it. The result being, just like Lockdown 1, it will be imposed too late. Therefore, even...

But the Severn doesn't even go into north Wales - mid-Wales at best.
