    Makes more sense than a lot of other politicians at the moment, unfortunately.

    One thing I've noticed in the last week or so when getting some exercise is a steady increase in people I shall refer to as selfish, ignorant ****s who have this ****ty attitude of " Why should I bother with social distancing? YOU can do it instead" stomping around with about as much consideration as a tornado at a sewage treatment plant

    Because why should a pandemic stop these sad ****ers spending all their time trying to prove they're the ****ing Alpha?

    Let's check in with how Keir Starmer is uniting the Labour party...

    Wes Streeting - got a job in Shadow Treasury
    Jess Phillips - got a job in Shadow Home
    Stephen Kinnock - got a job in Shadow Foreign
    Liz Kendall - got a job in Shadow Health
    Stephen Doughty - got a job in Shadow International Development
    Peter Kyle - got a job in Shadow Justice
    Conor McGinn - got a job in Shadow Home
    Lucy Powell - got a job in Shadow BEIS
    Alison McGovern - got a job in Shadow DCMS
    Rebecca Long-Bailey - demoted
    Emily Thornberry - demoted
    Barry Gardiner - dumped on the backbenches
    Dawn Butler - dumped on the backbenches
    Andy McDonald - dumped on the backbenches
    Richard Burgon - dumped on the backbenches

    ...so in other words, he isn't. At all.

    He's just doing what he always does, trying to follow what he thinks is general public opinion. Just so happens it coincides with a more reasoned argument...
    Don't worry, won't be long until you're calling him a twat or worse again!

    Journo: "How many NHS workers have died from the coronavirus?
    Hancock: "Well, I'm not touching that one with a ****ing bargepole, thanks. Over to you, Ruth."
    Ruth: "Thanks a lot, Matt. What can I say? Er, it's sad and that. How can I avoid answering? Privacy! Yes! That'll do! Next."

    As opposed to a few days earlier, when he said four doctors had died and "some nurses"

    Nice to know that nurses are expendable...

    I'm sure this will get as much coverage as that one time Diane Abbott flubbed her sums...

    Did you see Priti Patel's attempt at maths last night , what a **** up and not a thing from the MSM
    Still let's not criticise our beloved PP as she's been fighting counter terrorism for the last 3 weeks from her hermaticly sealed bunker

    You mean when she said "Three hundred thousand and thirty four, nine hundred and seventy four thousand tests carried out across the UK"?

    Diane Abbott was harassed online for three years for something considerably less embarrassing
