Could be worse - it could be Corbyn in charge, taking advice from his brother.

As I read elsewhere, today...

To be fair, if Corbyn were in charge and really was taking advice from his brother it *absolutely* would be worse.

No vaccines, no masks, no NHS.

Lots of people over on That Twitter asking if Handcock really thinks the public has that short/bad a memory.

...if Handcock really thinks....

I'm struggling with this bit.

My niece (who confusingly is a Sister) , was drafted into an ICU for a couple of months last year. She said they were wearing bin liners and Marigolds at one point and only had sufficient masks because they rang round the university science faculties and all the local dentists and vets.

I guess she must have lied about that.

Like our local head teachers who donated some of their school's safety equipment - which they are not reimbursed for...

I think Jimmy Hill deserves the last words on Hancock's half truths.

Mumblings on Twitter that Cumshot is about to let his evidence drop. Frankly, I can't be arsed to check, such is the loveliness of this seat on our balcony.

Utter bullshit on twitter #72394

NEWS: UK and US agree new partnership to fight future pandemics and tackle health inequalities.


Let's contemplate what we can learn from 2 of the biggest failures on this pandemic.
Or what UK could learn from USA about health inequality.

I cannot believe that anybody typed that with a straight face.

Saw the responses.

Donors saying that they made donations as individuals, not for the company, no longer associated etc.

Hancock saying nothing, except what's wrong with bigging up an innovative company.

Chinese walls, usual shit.

Seems he's been having an affair with a senior staffer in his department. Government saying it's a personal matter, n rules broken etc.

So, not just corrupt and professionally inept, but personally morally bankrupt too.

Just like his boss then.

And no social distancing rules were broken?




Johnson has missed an opportunity to shitcan a scapegoat and walk out of Covid almost blame free.

That was what did for Neil Ferguson, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

If "no rules were broken" is the best defence the government can give for Hancock appointing his mistress to a position where she gets basically £1k per day, it's looking ropey.

It's interesting to see the difference in how this is being covered compared to Johnson's serial philandering, though.

Just in case anyone has forgotten; no tory minister finds themself on (or not on) the frontpage of the S*n by accident.

I'm waiting for the "Eat out to help out" gags.

Exactly. That footage came from someone.

Even better...
