    Just making it up as they go along...

    On Saturday the government assured the public that a “major consignment” of PPE was on its way from Turkey, and was set to arrive on Sunday after growing criticism of a critical shortage for frontline workers. But Sky News has since reported Turkish sources claiming that Britain only made a formal request to Turkey over a consignment of personal protective equipment on Sunday.


    Just making it up as they go along...

    Immigration experts have told MPs that Home Office proposals to extend visas for NHS staff do not apply to as many workers as initially thought, have no legal backing and have been poorly communicated.

    Presumably pubs will be the very last thing to open - "non-essential" and highly social

    Probably open a couple of weeks before football. As you say, non essential and highly social.

    I wonder, do the brewery still expect the rent paid?

    Confirmation that the Tories have consistently lied and put their #brexit politics before people's lives


    McDonald was asked by a Labour MP, Chris Bryant, at the foreign affairs select committee whether the ventilator scheme was put to ministers. He said:

    "It was a political decision. The UK mission (UKREP) briefed ministers about what was available, what was on offer and the decision is known."

    No, football with TV coverage. It's been estimated that at the average PL game it would need between 250 and 300 people to be present.

    Oops, someone found the loophole Tory MPs left themselves to claim yet another £10k on top of the £10k they needed to be able to work from home
