The Tories also got caught out making fake astroturfing accounts before didn't they?

Alastair Campbell suggesting (quite gently at this point) that Starmer stop flapping around ineffectively on the sidelines and start providing a proper opposition: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/apr/22/coronavirus-deaths-labour-criticise-government-starmer It's telling that, from the other side of Labour opinion, he's come to the same initial conclusions about Starmer as the Ukmt.

I think the FT is probably running with worst case here for maximum clicks. A credible estimate would have at least two possible scenarios, not just one straight line going up.

Do you think he makes people call him Mr Prime Minister, the same way former US presidents get called Mr President for life? Actually that sounds more like something BJ would do, if he makes it out of the Prime Ministership alive...

I think it's almost got to the point for me where the numbers of deaths stop meaning anything. I don't mean that like I don't care more like I can't contextualise it.

That's the problem with big nubmers, we're poo poo on it. 300 tons of PPE? What exactly is that? 350m/day for the NHS? Again, how does that actually buy? £134bn/year budget for the NHS? That's 134,000,000,000 - I mean, what?

UK constituencies generally run between 40 and 80 thousand people. So just imagine everyone in one of those dying and it'll be accurate for the next few weeks.

Stadiums are a decent analogy. The official figures would fill Carlisle United's ground, whereas that FT report is more like Stamford Bridge with a corpse in every seat. Good morning!

Normally if you say something wrong you explain why you believed it at the time.

Can our government just once just loving once get sonething only a little bit wrong, just gently caress things up a little bit, rather than responding to every single issue by causing a self-replicating hyperdrive omnifuck that explodes everything in its path for miles in each direction

Again, not a good look for Starmer that Gordon Brown and Tony Blair are appearing more prominently in the press than the actual current leader of the opposition.

Cerv posted:could you redo that as concert hall venues? Official figures would be Wembley Arena with a couple of thousand bodies still in the queue outside, the FT ones would be a two night show at the Manchester Arena. By the end of the summer the care home/unofficial count will be like the Leeds Festival but without the tents and bins getting set on fire on the last night.
