Labour's Vicky Foxcroft asks what will the government do for people who do not get sick pay.
Hancock says the government is keeping this issue under review.
Be interesting to see what comes of this. If you're telling people to stay at home for 2 weeks, then there's obviously a potential economic hit.
But also from a public safety point of view - those without sick pay who would struggle financially may continue to work through a mild illness, and risk infecting many others.

lol. he "thinks" there were some corona virus patients.
"Labour's Chris Bryant make a point of order. He says many of the toilets on the parliamentary estate do not have soap. Will the authorities sort this out so the Commons can set an example.
Dame Rosie Winterton, the deputy speaker, says the House of Commons commission will discuss this at its next meeting."
What the fuck are these dirty buggers doing.

It's funny to see conservative talking heads come out with this defence after decrying anyone who did the same about the attacks on Diane Abbot. No, wait, the opposite of funny.
They can claim universal credit. That service is perfectly set up to keep people financed and not in dire straits.
also, Belfast getting the deepclean
Here's something that should bring at least a tiny smile to your face:
Spitting Image to return on BritBox, 24 years after the TV show ended
The satirical puppet show has Harry and Meghan in its sights, 24 years after it was last on screens.

Good news.
And some further interesting news
Priti Patel: Bullying claims from time at DfID revealed
The claims are from her time at DfID and follow similar allegations from the Home Office and DWP.

I expect she'll be resigning at some point if this continues

I think that point is far far away; remember how many times we all thought that May would absolutely have to resign...
Why though? May went because her own party turned against her. Boris won't give a damn about what public opinion is in regards to Patel imo.
Because they will end up getting the kind of disruption in the civil service they won't like, i'm talking about clear abuse of the people.
Yep, incredibly so because she would put immigration restrictions that would stop her own parents from settling over here. That also makes her a strong women which all lefties actually hate.
I don't know, I just don't see that happening. Boris has done a lot worse but people don't care.
Yes, antisemitism, wonderful job, blah,blah,blah.
She's safe for now, i'm not betting on her going or anything.
But if it gets worse then it will be easier to dump her, there are plenty of tories waiting to do that job.
Agreed. All depends on Cummings, and I'm betting Patel knows that he holds her life in his hands.
Patel is going nowhere because she's loyal. Johnson doesn't have the depth in the ranks to go changing the chancellor and home sec in the first three months of a five year term.
She's there while he's there or until somebody else needs to fast track their career to PM.

Patel fits the BoJo model of being dangerously unskilled for a job before then getting fired from it. He''ll want to keep her onboard.
I'm amazed Cummings isn't trying to get her fired. How does she fit into his call for scientifically minded outsiders. She's had two cabinet jobs and has been fired once and managed to been sued by her employees in the second one.
She's a classic ideological pick, only there because she holds the same views as those in power, not because she is in any way qualified for her position. Just the sort of things Cummings claims to hate.

He seems to have plenty of cannon fodder behind him, he will try to keep her, but i'm sure he isn't going to put her above himself. she isn't that talented or unusual compared to the rest of the party.
Boris levelling up the U.K. Flybe have grounded all flights. Sorry they've been impounded because they're done
"Barnier switches to English for his final remarks.
He thanks David Frost and the British negotiating team for their work.
He says two principles should guid the talks: no going back on our commitments, and mutual respect.
He says the British team spent a lot of time this week stressing Britain's independence. But no one is contest that, he says.
The question is not independence, but what you do with that, he says".
I think we have a really bad case of small man complex.

"Barnier says the first meeting of this has been set for 30 March. Michael Gove will lead to the UK side, he says. And the European commission vice president Maroš Šefčovič will lead for the EU, he says".
lol, i don't see it getting any better.
The Flybe stuff really shows a pretty big flaw in our democracy, the DUP got 1 billion pounds for votes, but this government wouldn't even loan out 130 million to keep the airline that provides 3/4 of all the flights to and from Belfast, it's going to cost their economy big time.
I came across this article discussing Ford's Bridgend factory closure:
www.theguardian.com
The line that stuck with me was this section:
The last line says it all. As a country we've neglected transport infrastructure so badly over many decades that we have to rely on crutches like FlyBe to keep regional connectivity afloat. I don't this Government is serious about levelling up the "left-behind" areas and what we will see of the next decade an increasing movement of people, jobs, and capital to those few bits of the United Kingdom that are well connected and served with reliable infrastructure.

William Shawcross
"In 2009 he signed a petition against the arrest and attempted extradition of Roman Polanski"
Not sure about this chap as a character witness.
Trupti Patel
"Trupti Patel, president of the Hindu Forum of Britain, hasn't been shy to rally her people to vote for one particular party. In an open letter on the forum's website, Patel attacks Labour and the Lib Dems for insulting Hinduism by supporting legislation to outlaw caste discrimination"
Oh dear, not sure about this one either
Lynton Crosby...
I mean, come the fuck on.

Lol at Laura, i hope the new leadership keep her at arms length.
Nandy set herself up for that ambush and word twisting.
Parliamentary watchdog to investigate Johnson's Caribbean holiday
Why can't the sleazy fucker just be open about it, he's already been in trouble with the watchdog because of his attitude.

At the moment he would probably get away with just being straight about it, even if the donor was fairly dodgy.
But i will take the gradual gnawing away at the government these stories bring, he isn't going to stop being a dodgy fuck but people will get fed up eventually.
Because any admonishment would be called a political move by his opponents. He could shit in the Queens crown and get away with it
Get a bit of training in before the real deal next year when Brexit happens.

We'll be fine, all these years of Austerity and Conservative rule should have solved our financial issues which were created entirely by Labour, too many Libraries and immigrants who stole all our jobs and also claimed all our benefits.
