Actually, I think he has not yet stepped down and is in the period of reflection.

Shame he still hadn't caught up with experts in November 2018: “A vitamin B12 deficiency leads to a higher instance of dementia but can be prevented by eating broccoli.” The Minister did not seem to know that neither broccoli nor any other vegetable or fruit contains vitamin B12, which is only...

Which channel was that on? It wasn't the one I saw on BBC 1 (Wales :) ).

For general delight, fine. :) But for some politicans, perhaps this would be a more appropriate one?

Who is going to do the bringing?

You don't bleeding well tweet condolences. You write. Maybe, depending on circumstances, email. But not tweet. Health secretary Matt Hancock tweeted his condolences to the family of the first person to die in the UK with coronavirus. Any tweeting is for public consumption. "Am I not...

Yes, just keep taking the meds, ... Tory minister wants Boris Johnson to reconsider bridge proposals... for a tunnel The Scottish secretary Alister Jack wants Boris Johnson to reconsider his proposal for a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland by opting for a tunnel instead. Speaking...

Doing so might pass on covid-19 - but just what will you get passed the other way?

Re the lorry with chiller, I was thinking about, say, a lorry being used between RoI and NI not just on the immediate border but right across the area. If Green is illegal in NI, and Red in RoI, then how do they manage it? Dipping would (so we are told) allow detection of recent use of red or...

I am struggling to keep up here. As I understand, the border meanders for many miles and is hard to identify in places. Let us consider a lorry with chiller has filled up with red/green expressly for the chiller. Surely that doesn't mean the vehicle can't cross the border at all? Or a tractor...

All too many times in the relatively recent past, media speculation has been more informative and accurate than offical sources. (Albeit, plenty of utter bilge as well.)

Solar powered so it will work for centuries. :)

Yes. Being older (rather than elderly, at least in my opinion), I hope I'd get through. But existing health issues are a real concern. It is very unclear what impact of my existing health issues are likely to have. Some suggestions that thyroid issues can mean a combination of being less likely...

Given that at one point is was said we only have 15 beds for isolation cases, I do wonder what will happen. I can't see everyone going to hospital - of any sort - if numbers ramp up as the worst predictions suggest. And, if people do get mild versions/symptoms, that will be fine. I'd rather be...

Tell people to put a piece of paper with today's date on it inside the window - visible from outside. Then update it every day. (Obviously, adjust to cover all circumstances.)

Unless measures are taken, it will also affect diesel usage on the railways. Which will make decisions like using diesel for trains on the route between Cardiff and Swansea a bad decision at yet another level.
