In other news my phone autocorrected Tories to Tortures

Shockingly turds capered in the House of Lords then gave the Tories £500,000 (5,7).

Her Twitter poll didn't end well. Perhaps blur wanted? (4,6)

Great thread on hospitals.

Good news - the vaccines seem to work. Hospitals not overwhelmed with Covid.

Bad news - they are overwhelmed with backlogs of other conditions, so still vulnerable to even small Covid increases

BTW Angry Bird Flies / Rosiecat asked me to pass on best wishes

Jerrycan Noah oddly resigns from SNP (it’s quite legal) (6,6).

Congrats Morecambe

Yes the north west’s more lowly teams outshining more illustrious neighbours this week*

*runs for cover

@Refitman definitely

Lots of scientists on my Twitter feed both rolling eyes and laughing at the scientists quoted by the Daily Mail who claim the Covid virus cannot be natural and must have been made in a lab. Since you ask..... As you know proteins are chains of amino acids that have reacted to join to each other. The...

@AK yes I too was pleased for Brentford. Third two seasons in a row and seem like a genuinely nice bunch running the club. I loved the shots of the old guys in the stands who had seen them when they were last in the top flight in 1947

@Sky

I liked the double p. Could just hear you spitting the word out when you got the bill

Seen a bit on Jo Cox’s sister today. She’s definitely not diehard Labour and has only just joined. However, the consensus seems to be that she does a lot of good work in the community and is an all round good egg.

So in the end, I think she would be a good MP for Batley and Spen and I wish her well.

Had my second jab just over two weeks ago so I am now immortal, or something like that....

Confused Edwardian son says Tony Blair is the only person who could win an election for Labour (6,6).

Confused, barmy line (there’s no money) loses W Midlands mayoral election (4,5).

Was worth a repeat

@ak I added a PTO to your bottom of first page post hope that’s ok

@pf

“ I didn’t vote for Jeremy. I voted for Andy Burnham, I believe he is the best leader we never had and I’m thrilled he is the Mayor of Greater Manchester now as he deserves it.”

I suspect both Nandy and Rayner are close to Burnham.

Lewis is spot on.

Labour needs to heal its divisions or split. Of course I voted Labour, but with a very heavy heart.

(Though I think Tracy Brabin will be a good mayor if elected)

And yes snowing here too with a bit settling on the tops

@AK

Don’t know what to say really.

Looks like Labour will lose in Hartlepool. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.....

Thanks for all the posts. The political ones are great, but the SGO’s egg roll calamity wins the day

Happy Easter All!

I see Jon Oddwhore (4, 7) is getting well deserved stick for his challenge to ministers who aren’t taking full advantage of Brexit.

@willow

Exactly. We have enough actual conflict in the world without provoking more.

Regardless of whether it should be ok to share a cartoon of the Prophet in context in class, why would you actually do that?

I really do get what Wren-Lewis is saying, but I do also feel there is a more principled stand Starmer (of all people) could take here that would not immediately alienate voters in “the centre”.

Thanks.

I just keep thinking “the teacher did what?”

I can’t get past the utter absurdity of doing this.

Oh and no biscuit.

But I did get told off for taking a selfie by the pitch on the way out, which I still haven’t quite understood.

I had my first shot on Tuesday. AZ since you ask. Took the advice of the staff there and colleagues and took preventative paracetamol. Was a bit out of sorts on Wed and a slight sore arm Thursday but otherwise all good. I had a choice of venues and decided to be sensible and go to Huddersfield Stadi...

I’ll be back. Just volume of work. Everything takes twice the effort done remotely.

As I’m sure others here are finding.

Epic stuff

Ha ha. Yes.

Yes. My better half has done quite a bit of volunteering, both for testing at school and vaccinations at the health centre. Not administering anything (yet). We were discussing that this is a strength of the NHS. It’s an organisation you would volunteer to help with. You’d be less likely to do so fo...

The cynic in me does wonder if this would have happened without the events of the past week (and last night especially) Prior to that, another galaxy brained abstention was being briefed by certain "sources". Possibly Angela Rayner has had an impact here. She’s clearly genuinely incandesc...

The reason I’m not here much is because the volume of work delivering online is just huge. I imagine it’s the same for Adam. But yes. Hope he’s ok.

Hi All

Struggling to make sense of the shameful footage from Clapham.

Is there something even worse that they are distracting us from?

Hope to get back here more often at some point....

Quick Quiz

Who is Jonathan Portes referring to here?

It's been a challenging year. But ???? *trying to correct me* on what exponential means (and revealing that he doesn't know the difference between "increasing" and "accelerating") was a comic highlight...

Interesting comparison AK

Incredible
