So what's the quick summary? I'm assuming that offices basically get to remain open if they feel like it.

Lockdown take 2 but schools are open as well as construction and manufacturing. Also no shielding but the extremely vulnerable should not go to work.

That graph of NHS capacity is scary. I feel like the worst fears in the first wave of hospitals being completely overwhelmed is actually going to happen this time and people won't care as much.

My manager has been working in the acute team at the hospital for 8 years and said that this Monday was the worst day she has ever known for capacity vs staffing. This week has been awful at work and I don't even know what will happen if new cases keep rising.

Everyone stay at home, except for work and shopping.
Bars and restaurants to close, takeaways open only.
Send your kids to school still.
Get covid from your kids.
Hopefully by christmas it will be all gone so you can eat turkey one last time before the Brexit times.

And not a single mention of new furlough measures.

Can't believe they're keeping a straight face when they say it'll only be until December. Either nothing will improve but they'll arbitrarily throw everything open again anyway or it'll be until the end of the year.

Yes, he did. Was a very quick line saying it'll continue through November and then said until December. So I assume it finishes on Dec 2nd when lockdown 2 finishes.

I don’t know how many of you are following me on Twitter - it’s @ learnincurve11 and I’ve got all the “how to get food to your house without leaving it” for poor people person information, feel free to DM on there or here. I will be updating information about when delivery slots are released on there, because you just know the middle classes are 12 hours away from breaking just in time again.

1. Morrison’s food boxes: Now country wide, all day delivery. 5 meals for 4 people can easily be split for single people because they have doubled up on the tins, actually do a few extra cheese sandwiches and soups. The British food box is the one I get for 3 of us now, not as good value but more variety and the Substitutions are cool. The afternoon tea is cracking value for money.

2. Christmas, although the Morrison’s box is good value it’s really only going to do one meal. Able and cole have a Christmas veg box, make your own cheesecake and large chicken that comes to £59 and it will easy do two meals. If you want to hold off a day, storehouses are £17 a head for a three course carvery on Boxing Day.


If you end up utterly hosed for food then call your local council helpline, not all of them (Sheffield do) have a dedicated help line and will run out a box of food for you.

If that last line was true he'd not have suspended Corbyn & removed the whip. He'd not have purged any left voices from his cabinet.

Anyway, here's Peter Oborne, former Spectator Political Editor & writer for among others the Mail & Telegraph, with an extremely reasonable take

https://twitter.com/OborneTweets/status/1322463086180212736?s=20

I'm going to reply to this one as its the last one I saw, sorry to bring it up again but I keep making GBS threads and going, which isn't cool.

To explain my thinking, Keir is scared of headlines, any headline, it's why he is keeping his head down. He has looked at the graph that Swinson misunderstood and actually understood it. The more the electorate gets to know a politician the more the dislike them. This is also another thing he has in common with BlowJob, as blowie intrinsically understands this.

The only people in the party that are making any noise are The Left so that's why he is giving them the most grief. If you look at the handling of JC he just wanted the story out of the newspapers, and after a day it quickly became a 2nd row story on the major websites.

I admit I am very credulous, and I want to believe Keir is nothing more than milquetoast "soft lefty" instead of being Blair mk.2. The final proof will be how he handles the CAA complaints.

yeah, i also think that loving with the left doesnt "make waves", its just a boring function of the british state.
nobody with any wealth, power or influence will be upset so its very safe to do

e: he just wanted the AS stuff to be over, it just requires the left to shut up and accept humiliation
kier's job was quite literally to do this, he would go on telly and say "i stake my reputation on this, that cop did not stomp that mans head" and have to apologise when it turned out they did over the course of however many months or years it takes to work your way through the succession of lies that follows every act of police brutality in the UK. he had to do that over and over again, "okay he stomped the head but he did it to save the man from a bee" "okay there was no bee but the man was a criminal" "okay the man was a vicar but he did drugs" etc and he was happy to do it because that was his job as ablative armour and bagholder

Is there any polling on how this used to be 5, 10, 20 years ago? It feels like it's always been said that the young are left and then the older you get the more right you move. I don't know if that's actually based on data or just a random belief/excuse for some old persons FYGM attitude.

You don't need polling you have election results. The age gaps always existed but they were *way* smaller until the EU ref fundamentally re-aligned politics in the UK. Combined with the lack of economic and social mobility for the younger generations it does seem like there's a demographic time bomb on our politics as the boomers die off.

I think he knew headlines where coming so he wanted to control the narrative.

"I, sorry, the party have suspended Corbyn" instead of Jewish groups call for Corbyn to be suspended, why hasn't he been suspended yet, you said you had a zero tolerance policy in place etc. going on for days.

It also makes him look like a strong leader, but then he realised it would actually gently caress him hard if he claimed ownership. Which has now made him look weak, because he is weak.
