I scoffed at the idea earlier in the year (as Labour would get thrown under the bus) but I’m really starting to think the best way forward now is for the Tories to get rid of Johnson, Government of National Unity to bring everyone together and then a GE straight after the pandemic. 

Literally 0 chance any of this happens. How can you think a general election would happen soon when the Tories have an 80 seat majority. What is in it for them?

I didn’t say I think it would happen, I said I think it’s the best way forward.

Mainly because the Government have lost control, today shows that and a Government of National Unity would help get every side on side.

I guess spread the blame a bit.

Also maybe just maybe the Tories realise it shouldn’t matter what’s best for them, it’s best for the country at this time of crises?

Sunak will lose support as soon as the general public realise how short he actually is.

He's tiny!

He's also the wealthiest man there has been in parliament since the King was allowed in, which I'm sure won't go unnoticed when he's telling the rest of us we need to cough up a bit more through the upcoming hard times.

I remember on here a month or so ago arguing that students should be able to go back to University...how wrong was I?

Andy Burnham have a right old rant at the government...see thread.

You could furlough at least 60 people for each management consultant that has been working on a track and trace system which isn't fit for purpose.  We wanted a unicorn and they delivered a donkey with a dildo strapped to its head.

More Burnham porn.

It's good to see them making a stand but not sure if the Government will take any notice tbh

We are launching a new version of the dashboard. We welcome your feedback on the experimental release of the new service.

 

I wonder if todays dashboard might have European comparisons on it ?

Some Tory MPs are siding with Burnham so they might actually take some notice.

I've given you an upvote to get you back out of the red, some people have no sense of humour.

Fair enough I grew up on non-pc humour so i'm not too bothered by it TBH I know younger ones are more sensitive, not sure Fuzzy deserved the downvotes though, he's always skating on thin ice re his rep!

It's a dangerous stance by Burnham.  Hold out too long and cases go up to the point where he won't have too many cards left to play and will risk being blamed himself.

Its a good point, events are already starting to overtake his stance e.g. it is going to be difficult for him to argue the North v South divide now London has announced moving to Tier 2 before Manchester (although I acknowledge there is more to it than Manchester and London, but it does illustrate a point). Regardless of whether what he is doing is right or not his position will become very difficult if the case and death numbers aren't going in the direction everyone would like them to.

Manchester has been Tier 2 since its conception, they basically modelled Tier 2 around Manchester, the only difference between now and the end of July for us is we can now mix in gardens.
