Despite the absolute turmoil we've been through, public seem to disagree with you, Bif.

This one puts it a bit closer, with Con at 43% and Lab 37%. It's interesting to note that on the day Starmer took over the leadership the same poll was Con 51% and Lab 29%, so it seems the Corbyn effect is ebbing away.

I think the Tories have the supposedly left wing BBC to thank for still having a lead. They have let them peddle numerous lies without questioning them, and have become little more than a sycophantic government mouthpiece since Covid. Only Good Morning Britain on ITV have took them to task and demanded answers, rather than just rolling over and boot licking like the BBC have done. It's pathetic that the Tory government refuse to be interviewed on GMB, they know they would be ripped apart so take the cowardly option of hiding away.

If the plumbing in 10 Downing Street had as many u-bends as governments policy, Boris would be eating his own s h i t.

I don't normally get involved in the politics threads, but you clearly know sod all about plumbing. Though clearly lots about talking sh1t (I don't mean sh1t that talks as obviously that would be Trump).

Nurses not being required to social distance or wear masks for a training session at Hillingdon hospital leads to super spreader event. Absolutely unbelievable.

Is it even 'plumbing'. I would have thought it came under 'drainage'? Plumbers don't do drainage, big blokes with a set of rods in the back of the van, tend to. Sid the Pirate knows nowt, me hearties................

PHE have also been criticised for never releasing any 'recovery' figures either. Apparently no one ever recovers.

Also Channel 4, who plug away consistently with cutting edge journalism, with the Tory hierarchy blacklisting them. No Tory Minister has been on C4 news for months. No C4 journalist was invited to ask a question at the daily death count briefings either.

Looks like there will be some 'limited access' to football stadia after Aug 1st?

This is worth a watch as well. 'Professor Carl Heneghan is Director of the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University'.One of the chaps who uncovered the NHE, 'anomaly'.

A good listen. It certainly answers many questions as to why the death rate was so high from Covid-19. It backs up the argument that we can not and should not compare our death rate with other nations due to the difference in reporting criteria (like I mentioned in a previous post). It also raises the question as to "Why was the reporting done this way?" Unless they wanted to spread fear, there was no need to report this way at all.

Lighten up. It was a joke.

What ever your political persuasion I fear for Boris.
He looks terrible, black eyes and bags underneath he looks ill.

Looks like any new dad having to lead his country through a pandemic to me.

I do wonder how ill he was and whether he should have been back at work so soon.
