Just got blocked from getting LFT as have ordered some within last 72 hrs. Usually 24, so I guess they're cutting those too.

Nobody should ever have been able to order them every day anyway. There’s 7 in a pack.

What's the recommended frequency for testing these days then? It was twice a week previously wasn't it?

I've just been doing one every Monday more recently (I only drink at weekends so I tend to go out more then).

It depends, a family of more than 2 people will go through a pack in a very short space of time so ordering more than 1 is a pretty sensible thing to do especially if you have vulnerable people that you see.

Generally speaking they suggested to test twice a week.

Not sure actually, I just occasionally do them if I feel a sniffly nose or whatever. I guess that couldn’t continue forever.

Just seen that David Davis got up to praise the lifting of restrictions. So presumably that's one less letter from the 54 (he called for his resignation the other week, so quite a turnaround!).

Wow. Starmer leads Johnson in all leadership characteristics. 

[steviewevie]

Boris vs Vlad.

[Homer]

Fastest vaccine roll-out to half a population - he's really mangling the stats there!

[steviewevie]

Can't be arsed with Boris.

Vlad saying Ukraine not really a proper country...all came out of the Bolshevik revolution....he obviously thinks those ex soviet states are part of a greater Russia and need to know their place.

The bolsheviks definedto the un Ukraine as a country as part of the USSR.

Johnson is still not putting in place any further sanctions against Russia, despite the news from Russia this evening. He is incapable of taking action at the right time just like at the start of the pandemic.

[SheffJeff]

Just catching up but this was one of the things that stuck out to me... usual Boris bullshit I know.

I can't explain how much I loathe the c**t.

Maybe they'll actually do something about that dirty russian money being washed in the London property market.
