I see the Dominic Cummings must be sacked petition has reached a million. https://www.change.org/p/dominic-cummings-must-be-sacked

Even the Daily Mail is still critical: Downing Street today insisted England must wait until Monday before lockdown rules are officially eased, allowing groups of six people to meet up outdoors, despite the nation heading for a sunny 80F weekend. Boris Johnson set out a significant loosening of...

I like the sea, I want to go to the beach... A civilian pilot sparked an emergency response after landing without permission on a closed RAF airfield in North Wales “because he wanted to go to the beach”. Ministry of Defence guards and fire crews confronted the pilot after he landed on a...

I was, it appears, conflating in my memory!

Do bear in mind that Durham police said insufficient evidence re the initial drive. Not that it was definitely fine. And not wishing to expend resources chasing him for what might have been a small fine is entirely understandable. (I wonder what Durham police budget will be like next year?)

Today's perplexity comes from this: If you lived on the England-Scotland border and your garden literally straddled it with a bit each side, could you have six people in the England bit and another eight in the Scotland bit?

In one case, the woman thinks she had it in January. She was in physical contact with her father, husband, grown-up children (not sure if they have offspring), people in everyday life, she just carried on - to the best of her ability while feeling awful - as usual. I know she posted about it at...

I am intrigued by the mismatch between claims of individuals and the number we are told have had it. I have previously said that I am aware of several people who are convinced they had it in January. I am suspicious that there are issues/reasons which are not yet properly teased out, identified...

It was presented as if that statement was what Cummings said to Johnson. I have my doubts that Cummings did present it to Johnson in that form. (Can you imagine Johnson listening for that long?) I wonder which lawyers did it? Did we pay for it?

A far better and more detailed analysis than I could achieve! But I'll add, the start point is odd. Out of the blue, Johnson has a positive test. It is not the case that there had not been suspicions before that test came back - even the time between the test being adminstered and the result...

And now Raab is being prosecuted: Family of Harry Dunn to bring private prosecution against Dominic Raab Foreign secretary did not have the authority to allow driver of the car that killed the 19-year-old to return to US, relatives say...

Given the outcomes we have seen, this is not much of a surprise: Government rejected radical lockdown of England's care homes Exclusive: health officials put forward plan last month to stem soaring coronavirus deaths...

Bizarrely, in England you are supposed to be careful when handing out the barbecued food. In Scotland you are encouraged to each (household) bring your own food, crockery, cutlery. If based on "the science", why such a difference? And what I am really looking forward to - McD opening...

I don't give a stuff what a mask looks like. (Mine is currently black with white polka dots). I agree that it is very largely for the sake of everyone else. I hope (but don't expect) my wearing one will encourage others to do so - or at least help any who are feeling embarrassed or feeling...

How many times have I clapped my hand to my head and (silently) screamed? Most often thinking, this must not be true. They can't both have made this big a mistake and managed not to fix it. Can they? Coronavirus testing hit by struggle to match results with NHS records Problem affects up to...

Johnson said: This will allow people to see both parents at once or both grandparents at once, he adds. (Allowing that this might be a transciption error, the usual number of direct biological grand-parents is four - which the word "both" does not properly cover. Though given his facilty with...

Kier Starmer has spoken: Labour leader Keir Starmer has said that Boris Johnson has “shown himself to be weak” in dealing with the Dominic Cummings situation. In a clip on BBC Radio 4’s the World At One programme, Sir Keir said: “The most important thing here is not, you know, these technical...

UK coronavirus live: Durham police find Dominic Cummings did breach lockdown rules, report says Fines came a week after Dominic Cummings made similar journey, police reveal, as statement on adviser’s trip expected Dominic Cummings did breach lockdown rules, Durham police say The prime...

They are really getting themselves into a war of words with themselves! No it is not mandatory but you must or we will make it mandatory... And while what Cummings did was fine it isn't fine if you are told you must isolate and no you can't because it wouldn't be reasonable unless it is. Matt...

Wales track and trace system has been announced: Welsh Government announce details of massive testing plan which will dictate lockdown easing from next week Wales' health minister Vaughan Gething has announced the test and trace plan today...
