I shouldn't be so cynical but I am waiting for the Non-binary MP to be announced for all angles to be covered.
On a serious note to Watfords question... Chris Bryant (to cover that angle) He would be good. TBH I can't think of many that would do a top job. They have some good people but not enough for a good Shadow cabinet. I think Ashworth is weak. Not sure about Benn?
probably because he's your typical elite. To be honest, i quite liked him, thought he was quite articulate and witty (he was great in an interview with ali g). I quite liked his arguments around brexit. Then people started digging and whilst arguing for brexit, he then goes and moves his investment company out of the UK into Ireland. That's not someone who believes in brexit and from that day i've decided he's a cunning slimey toad. I don't have an issue with him making money from the stock market, it's there and most people will be investing in it one way or another (never traded in it before but i may seize this opportunity) but i actually think stock markets themselves are bad and we should get rid of them fully. Too many companies are gambling on them with other peoples money (hedge funds/pensions) and seems to cause panics/recessions etc.
This would have been a big story if Bojo wasn't in hospital. I mentioned the other day how the EU has been pretty much inept with the handling of the virus and states are rebelling.

Now France is in a recession. Not good news. There will soon come a time when countries will be making some tough decisions on lives v economy.
True but I wonder how many at the minute wouldn't mind paying more into the system to improve the care we get ? There will always be some also that want something for nothing .
Particularly interesting now of course Would the money spent on other aspects of tackling the impact of the virus have been better spent resourcing up the NHS rather than paying people not to go to work (for example) We will never know
