Sometimes I feel like we’re all being given ‘the public school experience’. The language, the gestures, the sports references, the general rip-roaring, raring to go enthusiasm. Feels infantilising and tone deaf to me. Am I alone?

Priti Patel expertly proving why the government has been so careful up till now to keep her invisible

I say this cautiously but I think the tone of British reports about deaths & lockdown in Italy a month ago was more alarmed & urgent than reports of more daily deaths & a less effective lockdown here now. It’s deeply disturbing & I don’t understand it. Is it just partisan bias?

This really needs to stop now. Being belligerent on a tennis court does not magically equip you to fight a potentially fatal virus.
“All of us are praying for Boris” says former prime minister David Cameron
“Boris is a very tough, very resilient, very fit person, I know that from facing him on the tennis court, and I’m sure he’ll come through this”

Why are we demanding footballers hand over their money and not, say, Jacob Rees Mogg? Or the Queen?

Good news. Boris Johnson and Prince Charles will soon be immune, and able to return to the intensive care front line. There they will be able to share their expertise on how they managed to get tested.

This is really odd. Chris Whitty, the CMO, said he had symptoms & would self-isolate for 7 days. But the rest of the world says 14 days. Does our British exceptionalism make us exceptionally less infectious?
I don't know how much clearer I can be here:
@WHO: Self-isolate for 14 days.
UK Govt: Self-isolate for 7 days.
Science: Incubation period can be up to 14 days.
The UK Govt needs to change its advice, urgently. We risk spreading this disease.

MPs, please read this.
Coronavirus Bill in parliament tomorrow. This is a brief from a regulatory lawyer who says it opens up possibility of *significant abuse of power*. Apart from anything else it’s going to make protest illegal. It really really needs your scrutiny

And there it is. Worst fears apparently confirmed. Every single time you told yourself it couldn’t all be down to the pound shop Machiavelli, that nobody could allow these life & death decisions to be taken on the fly, a little voice piped up to remind you who was Prime Minister.
