    Make sure you are the first in line mate, and if you are still alive and posting on here after 6 months, I might have one too.

    When does Westminster open up again? Aware that it is larger and therefore will take some more doing but Holyrood and Senedd are back up and running for virtual First Minister's questions plus.

    There's little way to effectively distance in HoC.

    One thing I am troubled by across the British media is how their reporting of Spain and Italy was of unanimous tragedy. And their reporting of us in an equivalent situation is one of almost triumph and British grit and hold-tight-we-are-nearly-over-the-worst and hooray for Boris.

    As @patel4witham is taking the podium I would once again like to reiterate that it should be MPs as well as council leaders and hospital chiefs should be able to ask questions not just journalists. I have so much I'd like to ask her.

    The health of Boris Johnson is, by extension, the health of the nation itself

    Allison Pearson, the Telegraph.
    The obfuscation of information continues to cost lives but is also weakening separation of UK government officials and experts - this will ultimately lead to these chosen experts being blamed for political decisions and politicians blamed for scientific/health decisions until no one gets criticised for what they were responsible for and then no one gets criticised at all.

    At the moment trump is worse than the virus.Not making federal decisions and letting state by state out bid each other for essential gear.
    There is a model out there that is working....but i fear that politicians think that it's too expensive. The German model.

    The German Model is a Federal model though. But in this instance it seems the state and the Lander worked in harmony and collaboration rather than the Head of State calling the Governors/Heads of the Lander/States idiots/fake news sellers at daily press conferences and bad mouthing them on twitter. Didn't have to be like that with different Leadership.

    Last one from me for a while, people deserve a break from worrying news, but as the daily briefings become campaign trail propaganda and some journalists are more likely to report on Boris Johnson's choice of TV/films instead of why Donald Trump is using the UK and Sweden as example of how bad things could have been, please don't let those who left us more vulnerable than we ever needed to be get away with a free ride to continue to avoid scrutiny:

    ANALYSIS: PM’s rhetoric on testing doesn’t match the reality. He said we could “turn the tide" on virus in 12 wks if we followed rules to slow the spread. That was our bit of the bargain. His was to materially scale up testing. So far he’s fallen short

    With 1,000 deaths a day, our leaders should be facing far tougher questions

    Don't do him down.

    His uncle lectured at MIT for a record number of years. He says people are always surprised at how well he understands this stuff.

    Why would he need to listen to advisors?

    Thank you for highlighting the fact that I went to a top university, and maybe this explains why I am able to easily deconstruct all the BS that you constantly post on here

    Munchausen University's website does indeed state that it is top tier as you proclaimed. I will concede that!

    Interesting thread contrasting the difference between England and Ireland's approach to the crisis.

    There can be many factor going into infection rates.

    Genuine question, does Ireland have the same clusters of population densities, similar demographics etc?

    I remember being shocked at Ireland closing everything before us.

    Turns out outside of Johnson’s cronies we were advised to do similar. They decided to **** us and the economy instead.

    What about our country/system is it that makes politicians simply incapable of taking responsibility for something?

    Alok Sharma gives us the latest bungling attempt, 'I am sorry if people feel they are not able to get this equipment (PPE)'.

    I didn't see the briefing he gave about ten days ago, but he received a lot of criticism after it. It's only fair that I say that I have a degree of sympathy for any Government spokesman in the current situation because they're there to be shot at, but, having watched him today, I feel he should be kept away from media interviews if possible - he was very poor.

    Re: Coronavirus update

    This is an unprecedented time of national emergency with a worldwide shortage of PPE equipment and materials and a logistical nightmare trying to get it all to the ‘front line’. It is very easy for left wing politicians, union leaders and keyboard warriors to criticise the Government whilst being bankrupt of their own ideas as to how to solve the situation. Perhaps instead of constantly moaning at individual politicians, trying to make cheap political points, they should all get off their backsides and do something useful by using their resources to either help produce or deliver the PPE.

    Yeah and they should let some immigrants stay in their house while they're at it.

    Tired defence, any criticism of the government is mean and party political. The government have promised time and time again to get on top of this. If you break a promise, you take responsibility whether external factors affected it or not. Stop ducking for PR purposes.

    Also do you realise there is a lockdown? The last thing we need is a bunch of unprotected, potentially ill people randomly driving a handful of masks to their local hospital. Do you think before you type this rubbish?

    You mean the front line wouldn't appreciate some homemade masks from an unsterilised domestic kitchen?
