So just a reminder, with today's death figures we're still well within the margin of error for the IMHE projection, they've reduced it now to a mere 37,494 deaths but they're using the Dept of Health figures for deaths in hospitals. So that can be safely doubled. At least.

Or maybe that's just me.
That would be bad.
Subjective/objective all muddled up. A solipsistic mistake. Maybe the isolation. Maybe we live in a holographic universe and none of this is real. Free will is an illusion.
Wait a minute I have a cure for all that.

Bread sauce = yes (packet)
Christmas dinner (veggie) = nut roast, sprouts, roasted parsnips, roast potatoes (none of your goose fat) and bread sauce. Otherwise forget it.
I also find horseradish sauce a perfect accompaniment for almost anything.

Morning.
I like the sound of sweet chilli sauce on a fried egg sandwich. I'm a bit doubtful about mayonnaise, though.
As for politics, it's all feeling a bit like a stuck record at the moment. Hancock being plucky but useless. Raab just being useless. Where's Priti Patel? Where's the PPE? Where's the testing? Why aren't we like Germany? (Clue - Angela Merkel, not useless).
Have I missed anything?

Sweet chilli sauce on a fried egg sandwich sounds excellent - you could call it something like Northern huevos.
It brings to mind the Scouse Gazpacho (Bloody Mary with celery) event.

It is quite frankly insulting to imply frontline staff are wasting PPE.
There are horrific stories of NHS staff and care workers not having the equipment they need to keep them safe.
The Government must act to ensure supplies are delivered.

They'll only be wasted. Or so Matt Hancock believes.Turkey supplies UK with 250,000 items of PPE
Turkey has supplied the UK with 250,000 items of protective equipment, the Ministry of Defence has announced.
The shipment, which arrived at Oxfordshire’s Brize Norton RAF base on Friday, includes 50,000 N-95 face masks; 100,000 surgical masks; and 100,000 protective suits.
The supplies will be taken to a regional NHS distribution hub to be delivered to medical centres across the country, the MoD added.(Guardian)

Don't know about NZ, but done with PR, coalitions appear to be fundamentally more effective than UK/US model.

Hopefully someone might think of asking her about certain police forces behaviour although given the abject questioning previously I wouldn't bank on it.
If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

Seems to me Patel offering NHS staff a mealy mouthed non apology is actually more offensive than offering nothing whatsoever.
At least the latter would have had the merit of being honest.

If she'd followed Raab and Hancock's lead we would have had yet another 'promise' of 'x' on way blah, blah, that never actually materializes, so I'm going to give her points for mixing it up a bit. Less stuck record, more 'disc not recognised'. Makes a change, at any rate. Hopeless, just a different kind of hopeless. Apparently she's been tucked away working 7 days a week at the home office, or at least 3 days a week when she realised that might be checkable.

Worse than Patel was Harry Cole from the Mail asking about getting the immigration bill through parliament. It was his first question. At least a thousand people are dying every day and his priority was kicking people out of the country, many of whom will work in the NHS, care homes, supermarkets. What a piece of shit.
