gently caress, I somehow managed to forget about FPTP, and how it was transparently used by the Lib Dems to sink Labour while the Farages and Tories yukked it up. Yeah, that'd do it.

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

Actually it's the Lib Dem failure thats really screwing Labour - the New Labour landslides were won off the back of the Lib Dems winning a bunch of seats off the Tories in the South West mostly. Now that the Lib Dems have seemingly permanently poo poo the bed a lot of these places are now just safe Tory seats.

The daily male is on the job.

quote:

Frontline NHS workers have been able to get tested since March 25 in Number 10's bid to reduce the numbers off work in self isolation.

quote:

Out of 16,888 tests carried out on key workers, 5,733 (33%) have been positive

quote:

It has emerged that the UK missed three chances to be part of an EU scheme to bulk buy PPE.

Britain failed to utilise opportunities to get items such as masks, gowns and gloves under an EU initiative, the Guardian stated.

It means the UK won't benefit from the first of GBP1.3 billion-worth of PPE being delivered to another 25 countries within the next few days.

This is actually even more hilarious than them just missing the deadline three times.

See the first time the Downing Street spokesman said:

quote:

No 10 initially said it did not take part because the UK was “no longer a member” and was “making our own efforts”.

Then the second time they've just said they were not invited in time:

quote:

Behind the scenes British officials maintain the UK did not receive an invitation in time to join four EU procurement schemes - an argument made last week by Number 10.

So the EU went out of their way to prolong the deadline and officially invite them this time.

Only for the Brits to take a big fat poop all over that and miss the deadline again:

quote:

The veteran German MEP dismissed UK government claims they missed an email. “It was not that they were not aware, but it was a decision not to participate,” he said. “If you are interested you don’t wait for an email.”

The UK has present delegates in multiple meetings where this was discussed, they specifically didn't want to be a part of it.

But once again our media is either on secondment from CCHQ or literally mental toddlers who always obey what daddy says so there's been no narrative built except for BRAVE PEOPLE FIGHTING ON EVERYWHERE

This is the correct, if expensive approach. Bill Gates is doing the same thing (with I believe 8 different candidates). If trials fail you've thrown away a lot of money producing a useless production line. If they pass you've saved previous time. And the UK is basically all or nothing on a vaccine given our dismal testing failure.

Hospitals are starting to run out of PPE now - I had a doctor friend complaining that they've given him nurse's scrubs.
