The more of the truth comes out, the more incompetent the government look. Johnson and s few others need to resign.

The sad reality is there are a lot more Ellers and even Turkishes in the country than Bobmids and even if there weren’t it’s his for four years with a large majority of inexperienced sycophants who owe him their job.

I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually he cried off claiming doctors were advising him to do so but no chance he’ll walk due to the shame of overseeing the intentional and unintentional ****-ups of the last few months. Still got a no deal Brexit to deliver to pay his backers back after all.

They still have the right to vote for a party or political stance that suits themselves just as much as anyone. All I hope is that they acknowledge the piss poor leadership that is currently on offer and the daily lies that go hand in hand with it. This is without doubt the biggest **** up in a generation both health wise and economically. This is what Johnson and his crew will be remembered for.

It’s not been acknowledged before so no reason why it should be now.

It’s no worse and probably 500% better than what comrade jezbollah would have offered every cloud and all that.

That is the El Classico response and one that has become so very predictable. It's a very poor arguement and totally lacks any substance let alone reality. There is only one government and they are an absolute shambles and making this country an absolute shambles. Corbyn wont be remembered for this however you dress it up mate. This is on johnson and his lying minions.

Just out of interest, I wonder what they would have done 500% worse than the current government. I actually dont think there would be such a thing that exists

200,000 or so deaths not including the ones we don’t include. It would still have been too soon to suggest we hadn’t handled it well.

Scores of medics turned their backs on Sophie Wilmès during a hospital visit in protest at the Belgian prime minister’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ms Wilmès made an unofficial visit at Saint-Pierre Hospital in the Marollen district of Brussels on Saturday in an attempt to relieve tensions with healthcare workers, who are unhappy with how the government is dealing with the coronavirus crisis.

In a video widely shared online, Wilmès’s official motorcade can be seen approaching the hospital. The road leading up to the hospital is lined with doctors and nurses, with each one slowly turning their backs in silent protest as Wilmès’s black Mercedes passes by.

Workers at the hospital staged the protest to call for increased acknowledgement of their efforts during the pandemic, which has so far claimed over 9,000 lives in Belgium, with a further 55,000 confirmed cases, according to official figures.

Belgium has the worst coronavirus mortality rate in the world, having recorded 66 deaths per 100,000 people.

Why Belgium has the highest coronavirus death rate in the world
For comparison, the mortality rate in the US is thought to be about 19 in 100,000.

Ms Wilmes said on Saturday that she wanted to bring a “message of appeasement” to hospital staff, according to Belgian broadcaster RTBF, adding that she did not want to see a post-coronavirus period where the nursing sector was “reduced to what it was before”.

The Belgian premier visited a second hospital on Saturday although she didn't appear to face any opposition while there.

It came after the signing into law of a royal decree on 4 May that allowed unqualified staff to undertake nursing duties during the pandemic.

Medics from over a dozen hospitals in Brussels and Wallonia – a region in the south of the country – have written to the government to express their concerns over the decree, the Brussels Times reported.

Nurses said they were “outraged” by the decree which was prepared by federal health minister Maggie De Block. Nurses are calling for the decree to be repealed, saying that it disregards the skill and training needed to work as a nurse.
