    Really ,Do you mean Sir Keir Stammer multi - millionaire former director of Public prosecutions, who when in charge decided there was not enough evidence to prosecute Jimmy Saville , the same Labour who have a racist tweeter on the front bench , the same party who have a former leader of PIE on the back bench ? Is this your idea of a credible opposition ?. Stammer is a trained barrister and his wooden performances have proved that time and again , quick to blame very slow to propose alternatives .

    Boris can't handle him though. He's getting schooled every p & m question time.

    Conservatives are just damaging themselves. Labour might not have to propose alternatives

    I would Imagine all those millions of people that have been furloughed will be thinking Boris and his chancellor are doing a good job.

    The latest polls I saw last weekend still had the Tories in front, despite the hammering Boris took over the Cummings affair.

    It's my mothers 60th birthday today. We're ignoring government advice and meeting up.

    After all, my household hasn't had contact with anyone for 2 months and her household hasn't had contact with anyone for 2 months. Both households are healthy and well. It is impossible for anyone in the households to have the virus and so it's perfectly safe to meet up. The virus cannot spread if nobody has the virus to spread it.

    you would have thought they'd have learned from the countries that began dealing with CV19 ahead of us and taken some inspiration from their successes and mistakes. oh, hang on a minute...

    Of course but what's that got to do with my post? If none of us has been in contact with anyone else for over 2 months then the virus cannot exist on any surfaces within the household can it, because it can only last on surfaces for a maximum of a few days?

    There's a world of difference between sensible adults meeting up in one location and pretty much following 'the rules' and several people from several households living it up without a care in the world.

    I think the main issue is the contradictory advice. Kids are perfectly safe to go to school and mingle with other kids and teachers but you're not allowed to go and sit in your parents living room and have a chat and a cup of tea.

    sorry, i disagree.. after having plenty of dr's i work with having to admit someone with suspected CV19 who had been 'following the rules' and claiming to have not been out at all - CV19 doesn't care whether you follow the rules 10% or 100% of the time. the slightest lapse and there is the high risk it will be there. the 'R' rate isn't going down, it has risen within the last 7-14 days.
