But he's gone, the blatantly staged photo op says so ...even though he's not leaving until December, which was what he said he planned to do all along (note to self: check web archives to see if his old blogs have been edited in the last few days)
The second headline is ludicrous. I doubt the scheme will be mandatory. Being the rebel I am, I didn't eat out (ooh-err missus) to help out the first time around.
I've read an article which states that Dominic Cummings was the person who leaked that the government was proposing a second lockdown to the press That part isn't a surprise, as it was always going to be one of De Pfeffel, Cummings, Gove, Hancock or Sunak who leaked it (and, IIRC, I did suggest Cummings as a likely culprit, while the press focused on the other four) but that's not the biggest revelation from the article The biggest revelation is that, for the past few months, De Pfeffel has been little more than a mop topped garden sprinkler who as well as not having any kind of plan in place but has also ceased to function, which means that in that timeframe the country has effectively been run by Michael Gove with Cummings' support, no doubt building on their previous rapport from working together at the DofE where among their many achievements they scrapped A Level coursework and installed a predicted grades algorithm, which of course hasn't led to any issues in the past six months at all Good luck sleeping tonight
The BBC can't bring themselves to contradict the Tory lie about Serco Test & Trace, can they? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54985232 Also, Dido Harding is self-isolating
A man's been arrested in Belfast for the bombings that the Birmingham Six were wrongly jailed for: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-54989368 He's 65 now, so he'd have been 19 at the time.
