When will this shit end?

[Euphoricape]

So hopefully it won't come to that again, I'm getting ready to go back to work again after lockdown 2.0 but also thinking it might just be temporary again. I need to be back at work for my sanity, especially this time with my wife who is a teacher and my kids being at school during the week. Hopefully normality is round the corner.

Johnson could end up having to use Labour votes to get restrictions through.

Which isn’t a long term sustainable strategy given how the 1922 operate.

Gove, and even Raab, we making pretty good arguments for the tiered restrictions over the weekend...and then Johnson comes in and makes stupid promises.

They’ll stab him in the back soon enough. No point putting another leader in this far from an election but if he’s still there by mid 2022 and they’re behind then the men in grey suits will bin him

Government plans for post brexit subsidies to farmers actually sounds pretty good to me...but...have to see what actually comes from it.

haven't the yanks said they'll approve (or not) by the 4th?

In which case the UK will approve before then.

This is the kind of hard-hitting scientific analysis we need this December!

My tin had alarmingly few purple ones as well. Although plenty of strawberry and orange creams, so I was fairly satisfied overall.

Jan wouldn't be the worst time for a lockdown. People generally go into hibernation for a month anyway; I usually do a dry Jan (may struggle this year though!).

A lot of papers reporting NHS have mobilised staff to be ready to start vaccinating on Wednesday, so if this is an indicator hopefully today or tomorrow? (Wishful thinking I know)

The firebreak did go well, it’s after when restrictions get loosened they are struggling.

It went ok, to be honest it wasn't for long enough and didn't really reduce infections down to any meaningful level

Every country is going to struggle with this in the winter, coming out of lockdowns cases will rise. They need to have proper plans in place to get through the winter and not a patch work quilt of various different measures.

Surprised by this - last I heard was first vaccine deliveries are expected between 7th-9th December, so not sure how they can vaccinate without having the vaccines?

Unless I have misheard.
