Perhaps Boris can explain what happened to the promised 400,000 bits of PPE from Turkey - none of which was of any use. Or will it just be more lies and cover up?

Does anyone believe this government will hold an honest inquiry into the covid scandal?

Question for TROY, xmiles & Okocha....

Do you think the government should reduce the 2m social distancing rule?

Seems to be working okay in France? I won’t criticise them if they do - i haven’t looked too closely at it but given the economic implications and divide in approach among other countries reducing it seems to make sense.

Whatever they do it needs to be clearly communicated, the ambiguity isn’t helping anyone.

Yes. The WHO recommends a distance of 1 metre and many countries have adopted this without seeing an increase in infection. The risk seems manageable and the potential benefits in terms of getting more children back to school and more businesses open are enormous.

Dick Turpin springs to mind. 'Your money or your life'?

I assume you are referring to government plans to allow companies to charge travellers £140 each to avoid the 14 day self quarantine requirement. Sounds like robbery to me.

It's an amusing observation Glos but it's bang on - save the economy balanced against the risk of increased death toll. The figures to date suggest the government have got neither right but at least they've finally made a decision as to which way to go. Probably change it again in a couple of weeks though Smile

With all the "erms" and "ers" Boris could probably stretch out one sentence to 2 minutes TBH.

NZ PM was damned impressive though. I know it's a PR stunt but it was brilliant and unusually these days, based on positive performance rather than snide negative inferences about the opposition.

Theresa Villiers sacked from the Intelligence Committee after refusing to follow the Tory party whip in a vote to allow chlorinated chicken to be imported from the USA. Story here.
Encouraging to know that at least one Tory MP has principles.

No wonder she had to go. Corrupt scum like Jenrick are of course acceptable though.

I'm a little concerned at what Liz Truss is getting up to. I believe she introduced, or at least went along with, the changes that would allow the dreaded chlorinated chicken in.

Never thought much of Truss as a politician, a yes woman with little substance from what I’ve seen. Again speaks volumes that the most important criteria for cabinet members is blind loyalty to the Cumming’s version of Brexit.

I may not be the only one (understatement of the year) thinking that it is the Tory party line to usher through this law which will permit the import of chlorinated chicken in order to pave the way for a deal with Dumpy? Why else was the party whip involved in the removal of Villiers from what I mistakenly thought was an independent Parliamentary Committee?  

Isn't chlorinated chicken what people voted the Tories in for? Smile

I swear we were told 3 years ago that a trade deal with America would be done "within weeks" of the EU referendum but that may have just been a dream.

Just another example of this government grovelling to America. Clearly chlorinated chicken is on the way. So much for taking back control.

My current favourite example of how "taking back control" works is the loss of 260 jobs in Gateshead now that passports are going to be produced in Poland by a Franco-Dutch company.

And the ungrateful brexit fans are not even happy. Not because of the job losses but because they are the wrong colour blue apparently. How typically small minded of them.

You are the master of the sweeping statement.

From the 1st of December 2018 to the 30th of November 2019 Conservative MP Helen Whatley claimed £174,772.22 in expenses. This is the same Helen Whatley who rejected plans to backdate a £5000 student nurses grant because she doesn’t believe they provide a service.
