This is a joke because we all know the π variant will have an R0 value of a little over 3.

I like that it feels like the government wanted to wait until I'd got my booster before opening up until the plebs, although I'm a little annoyed that all my time spent pointing at chairs in vaccination centres to qualify as "frontline medical staff" only apparently bought me an extra day of super extra 5G coverage.

(It also apparently qualifies me for a free flu jab which they did at the same time, which was nice, but I'll check back in tomorrow when I'm getting the side-effects from both at the same time to confirm exactly *how* nice)

Actually I don't know if he *is* qualified to speak on this as his infamous moment of television history - making GBS threads himself in the middle of the pitch during England v Ireland at Italy 90 in front of a worldwide audience of over a hundred million people - was in those very very short 90s shorts, not trousers, and it did actually escape (although as he was pissing rusty water out his arse he should be given *some* leeway). Unless he's now admitting to multiple incidents, in which case what's his username?

quote:

Labour reshuffle: Starmer brings Yvette Cooper back to front bench

Former minister Yvette Cooper is returning to the Labour front bench following a wide-ranging shadow cabinet reshuffle by Sir Keir Starmer.

The former work and pensions secretary will face Priti Patel as shadow home secretary, replacing Nick Thomas-Symonds in the role. She last held a shadow cabinet position in 2015.

Other major changes to Labour’s top team include a scaled-back role for former leader Ed Miliband, who has been stripped of his responsibilities for business policy and will focus on climate and net zero while Jonathan Reynolds becomes shadow business secretary.

Someone who is good at the economy please help me understand this. A company called MPM Connect, which doesn't appear to do anything other than hold stocks, has given about £70k to Cooper and about £20k to Streeting this year. It appears to be one of about 200 companies registered to a semi detached house in Hertfordshire. Is there any way to find out what it actually is or does?

I found this:



The coding for them on Companies House is "activities of head offices" which is management consultants.

Re the house they're registered at, this is quite normal - some place which offers a paid service as a 'registered office'*. I had one for a few years until I decided to dissolve my Ltd company this year as I don't need it. It was always interesting to see what other companies had the same registered office in Covent Garden as me (13760 companies in total as it happens!)

*rather than use your own home address

Some more info:
https://ukcom.biz/business/145708/mpm-connect-limited/

previously registered at 94 Cinnabar Wharf East

Fk me: "How much has this property changed in price since it was last sold?
Flat 94, Cinnabar Wharf East, 28 is a leasehold flat - it is ranked as the most expensive property in E1W 1NG, with a valuation of £6,882,000.

Since it last sold in April 2001 for £2,670,000, its value has increased by £4,212,000. "

I think this valuation is potentially blx

Read down and see the donations made by Peter Hearn (director of MPM Connect) as a private individual and also MPM Connect all for campaigning etc.
£15847 per quarter and the quarters correspond to traditional rent quarters. I guess they're paying for her constituency office.

They're shelf companies, the two directors took control of three at that address on the same day. Peter Hearn has an actual searchable history as accountant and director, mostly in the Netherlands, so could be holding the bag for someone. Simon Murphy might be the same Simon Murphy who is CEO of the Battersea development company, so could be as simple as payments to leadership candidates who'll support important hilariously funded agreements like the Northern line extension.

I got my booster and flu jab at the same time, and the nurse administering it gave me some great advice I'll pass on: get them both in the same arm. Because it felt like I took a good punch in the shoulder all that day, but at least it meant I could sleep on the other side.
