What you don't know is that IDS is actually 200 years old so his reflections from when he was 21 are accurate.

Haven't they learned by this point? Every single time they make the crisis worse by dithering endlessly and then having to implement the extreme measures anyway. Now it looks like we're facing over a thousand deaths a day at the same time we are rolling out the vaccine and the end is in sight. It defies belief.

thank god, Corbyn didn't win because then Britain would have gone backwards and become a third world country and international laughing stock.

The executives of the Chinese company who were behind the baby milk formula scandal got dealt with extremely harshly and we should do the same here imo

Early signs that the lockdown is doing its job. Daily cases are now dropping consistently enough to impact the 7DA. Sadly, this does probably mean we're still two/three weeks from the peak daily death rate.

Did the fisheries minister really admit she didn't read the brexit trade deal because she was doing a nativity trail?

This morning Nadhim Zahawi, the vaccine deployment minister, dismissed the Commons vote as a “political stunt”. He told Sky News:

It’s unfortunate that Labour has chosen a political stunt. This debate today has no real impact on the outcome on those families, other than a political little stunt for Labour.

Yeah, I'd also say that someone on £100 a week is absolutely not the person you should aim those feelings at first. Jeff Bezos could drop £100 in the street and he'd have made it back in the time it took him to pick it up.

Apart from international embarrassment, the only real reason to 'keep' Scotland are the deep water submarine bases at Faslane and Coulport, which cannot be replicated anywhere else in England /Wales.

Honesty there are two Twitters - the political one where the conservatives go mask off, the liberals post exceedingly hot takes, and the left shitposts; and the Twitter for whatever fandom you're in, which could be anything from a specific video games from 1996 to trains to lady's feet to Magical Girl anime.

Funny you should say that, she's literally just popped up on Channel 4 news to say the vaccine "was designed to save lives in the UK," which is quite the claim

Not gonna inflict an actual Mail link on the thread, but in their reveling over the EU vaccine u-turn today (another brilliant vindication of Bulldog Boris's Brexit Blinder), they actually call it 'Boris's Falklands Moment'.

Just completely loving diseased.
