Morning all.
In the Commons Matt Hancock, the health secretary, said it was not true that student nurses were being made redundant.
But students are finding that their paid placements are ending early.Thousands of student nurses recruited to work on the front line against Covid-19 have been told their placements will be cut short, plunging some of them into financial despair.
“Some of us left jobs for this. Many of us have children and families to care for.”

Looks like Starmer had another good day today with PMQs.
Dear me.That was Boris Johnson’s best performance at PMQs against Sir Keir Starmer so far. ......
today Johnson sounded like someone who had found a chink in Starmer’s armour, and he exploited it reasonably successfully.

Stap me ! That's at least the second time that Sparrow's watched a different PMQ's to me .gilsey wrote:The student nurse thing is rubbish isn't it, small change for the govt to pay them for 6 months as they were told. Summer school meals all over again.
I've just read through Sparrow's PMQs coverage, the 'as it happened' part suggested Johnson was as rubbish as ever, but AS verdict was that BJ's schools line was effective.Dear me.That was Boris Johnson’s best performance at PMQs against Sir Keir Starmer so far. ......

I liked the bit after 12.08.50 when Starmer suggested they swop places !citizenJA wrote:I'm grateful you're here. I really am.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Hi there, I'm herecitizenJA wrote:sorry

Yes, many will have seen that as an effective answer to Johnson's bluster I suspect.frog222 wrote:I liked the bit after 12.08.50 when Starmer suggested they swop places !citizenJA wrote:I'm grateful you're here. I really am.AnatolyKasparov wrote: Hi there, I'm here

On reflection, it wouldn't surprise me if the Sparrow is really quite impressed with Starmer and just making sure he doesn't let it show.citizenJA wrote:Mr. Sparrow may well believe this

AK --- and you were joking ? With this shower of shit any rational solutions/actions go out of the window. Half-asleep I heard on the radio that "personal communications, local contacting " was the New Thing , and texts etc was too impersonal/frightening . So YES, it's not impossible that the World-beating App disappears from the public domain , and consciousness !AnatolyKasparov wrote:So it now appears our WORLD BEATING virus tracking system isn't going to be ready until the winter.......
(will resist the temptation, at this stage, to ask "which winter?")
