I repeat my point about us being told not to drive because if we have an accident or breakdown, we will put others at risk. There is a greater likelihood of having an accident or breaking down on a 260 mile journey to Durham in circumstances where some in the vehicle are already ill, a further...

Johnson suffered covid-19 severely. Comes back and often blusters and looks even more lost than ever. Then this (early, questionable) research comes out: Research reveals gene role in both dementia and severe Covid-19 Having two copies of e4 variant of ApoE gene linked to double risk of...

Talbot understands:

How do you follow the science when the scientists say: Cummings' actions show government cannot be trusted, says adviser Sage scientist condemns ‘vacuum in the heart of government’

Many have, Johnson. Very many. UK coronavirus live: PM says 'people should make up own minds' on Dominic Cummings

He said he didn't consult with Johnson. Not entirely surprising. Doesn't say he did, or did not, consult with Domini Craab the chap in charge. Or anyone else. If he can disappear to the other end of the country for two weeks, and not be needed, possibly his importance is over-emphasised?

No, you got it all wrong. Not those allegations - about DC going to Durham, Barnard Castle, bluebell wood. The other allegations... Remember Johnson never clarifies or specifies which allegations.

You get to Barnard Castle and your eyesight isn't good enough to drive. What then? Wife takes over? If she could have done so, she could have driven to London - route avoiding Barnard Castle. If she couldn't they would have been stuck 30 miles from second home and dependent on others to get...

I think they’re right to be worried that the coverage over the past couple of days could encourage people to behave in a certain way, but with great respect to them [the scientists], they made those comments without knowing what actually happened. So, you are saying that Johnson handled it very...

I have seen the word "autism" mentioned.

Want to get in with this point before 16:00! Let us imagine DC does his (against the rules) conference and we all end up going "Poor Dom, of course he was right." Floods of tears. "What can we do so that you will stay, Dom?" Then consider how badly Johnson handled everything. It could have...

If so, it will be like 9/11, incessant repeats.

Point 14 - #78,264 32 minutes ago. :)

There again, he shouldn't say anything: Ahead of Dominic Cummings’ public statement this afternoon, a number of people on Twitter are flagging the government’s Code of Conduct for Special Advisers which states they must not take “public part in political controversy”. Point 14 states: Special...

Very much down the thought path I had gone. I cannot think of anything much that isn't "I am right and stuff you". (Or announcing a general election. :) )

When introduced, I was sceptical of the setting up of police and crime commissioners. Just possibly, they do have a role... Durham police to be asked to investigate Dominic Cummings Force to establish facts about PM’s chief aide’s trip to north-east England during lockdown The police and...

This chap has a sense of humour - this tweet and some of his others:

Other uses of the term Although no principality has ever been created that covers Wales as a whole, the term "Principality" has been occasionally used since the sixteenth century as a synonym for Wales. For instance, the first atlas of Wales, by Thomas Taylor in 1718, was titled The Principality...

And yet more of them! At least a dozen. Bishops turn on Boris Johnson for defending Dominic Cummings Church of England leaders say PM’s defence of aide was ‘risible’ and ‘lacked integrity’...

Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there! He wasn't there again today, Oh how I wish he'd go away! When I came home last night at three, The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall, I couldn't see him there at all! Go away, go away, don't you come back...
