Have they stopped "following the science"?

They haven't said you can't travel to your 3rd or 4th home though.  One rule for the rich, one for the rest.

They’ve specified no overnight stays, so presumably that covers it?

Is Starmer not allowed to ask Johnson why he hasn't answered his questions?

Course not. It would take valuable time from his fellow Tories patting him on the back and asking softball questions!

The Tory questions are pathetic. They're either utterly irrelevant or Boris gave the answers earlier in his speech.

Seems to be an disproportionate amount of questions from them as well?

That fella thanking the PM for the tremendous job he has done in leading the country through this is like thanking Al-Queda for refurbishing the World Trade Centre.

It feels like some people are fed lines/questions to throw at him to give him solid talking points.

Not sure about swine flu. I know there was a vaccination programme but there were issues with that too? I think but yep you got me with the Spanish flu.

Still I hardly think that 50 million dead is something we should be aspiring to.

I admit it is technically possible and I was wrong in that respect but I still don’t think it is a feasible strategy going forward and any talk of it been the way forward should be knocked on the head.
 

The depressing thing is that I’m reality, until we get a Vaccine that we may never get, it’s the only game in town.

So have the daily briefings gone now ? Or was it just today’s that’s been dropped ?

Childish games from the Nationalists.

From the guidelines published today "For the foreseeable future, workers should continue to work from home rather than their normal physical workplace, wherever possible. "

What's childish about following that?

It's childish to say you aren't doing what the Parliament is doing to fuel division.

Ok, I get that - but it's kind of risking their lives and their families lives to do things differently.  Scotland do have their own parliament after all.  Have I misunderstood what's going on here?

Childish? Not really. They are following their scientific advice.

I also wouldn't say they are nationalists, despite having it in their name.

maybe they want to stick to the Scottish guidance so doesn't look hypocritical.

These are Scottish MPs not Scottish MSPs. MSPs will so as Holyrood wishes. They are only risking their lives in as much as everyone else is, Parliament will be much more on point with precautions than your average building site.
