Jesus wept what's the point,it's prioritisation which not everyone will agree with and that would be the same the other way round. The way Pizza Express are closing sites they would be better off saving their money rather than wasting it on a pointless court case. Where will Prince Andrew eat out though ? Young muff 😆😆 |

I see there’s going to be an inquiry into dodgy Dave and his money making lobbying scams I wonder how this one will go , after the Prittii Patel inquiry found her guilty of bullying but Johnson chose to ignore the findings or the now much discredited Sewell inquiry ?

Love Off with their heads I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that I understand the process during the pandemic. We had to act really fast. Tendering takes so long it wasn't feasible to introduce the massive and large scale transformation we needed to facilitate the covid response. I'm not sure what the answer here is, nor do I doubt that there is a huge amount of cronyism before and during the pandemic. I also suspect that will continue in line with what seems to be a natural tendency of this government moving forwards, and naturally without accountability. The sheer scale of the climb should be understood though, especially as we found ourselves in a time critical situation; one where we had already disadvantaged ourselves with a laissez-faire attitude towards policy decisions early on. |

I agree with you needs must sometimes and if they had fannyed about with the normal process then imagine the outcry. Like everything with last 18 months it will about the learns,how government/civil service function and as everything in life is a process how can they be easily adapted to work effectively and efficiently in a 100 year occurrence. |

Did I hear right that Johnson warns us that the reduction in covid hospital admissions, infection rates and deaths is overwhelmingly due to lockdown and not the rollout of the vaccines?
That can't be right can it?

Did I hear right that Johnson warns us that the reduction in covid hospital admissions, infection rates and deaths is overwhelmingly due to lockdown and not the rollout of the vaccines? That can't be right can it? Bit of both, I would imagine he is trying to prevent too many people thinking its safe now and laying the ground for a potential deferrment of the next stage. "Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned that coronavirus infections and deaths will start to rise again as restrictions were eased. He said that although the vaccination programme had helped reduce the numbers, "the bulk of the work in reducing the disease has been done by the lockdown" and he urged people to be "cautious". However, he said he could not see any reason to change England's roadmap out of lockdown. Mr Johnson added that he was "very confident" about the UK's vaccine supplies. Ministers have met their target of offering a first dose to the top nine priority groups by 15 April and Mr Hancock said the government was "on track" to offer a vaccine to everyone aged 18 or over by the end of July. The UK is moving into phase two of the vaccination programme - which involves offering vaccines to healthy adults under the age of 50. Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Hancock said more than 40 million doses of vaccines had been delivered across the UK, which he called "a remarkable achievement". Latest figures show more than 32 million people in the UK have had their first vaccine dose, while more than 7.6 million people are fully vaccinated. The health secretary also confirmed there would be age-based prioritisation for the rest of the vaccine rollout, based on advice from the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). There are an estimated 3.7 million people in England aged 45 to 49." |

It’s the friends and friends of friends who were in the ‘fast lane’ for these contracts that is the problem . I agree but its trust related isn't it. You seek help from those that you believe will be able to deliver particularly with the kind of scale we are talking about and the commitments they had to agree to. If I break it down to my level, I have 2 people trained to do some sort of manoeuvre with me. Both say they can do it but I know one of them and have worked with them before. They can do it. I choose them. I know its simple and I'm not intending to make excuses for them but I can see how it happened. |

(Not health related obviously☺) |

I notice the very person this morning on GMB totally dodged the question as to whether there should be a similar enquiry into Blair and his dealings. |
