You might think a political party with such a strong record of winning general elections would have done some serious and ruthless thinking about how to improve its standing in the capital city of the nation it habitually rules. Instead, they seem determined to persuade as many Londoners as possible that they are devious, visionless and a bit dim.

It is hard not to laugh at the desperation and dishonesty of London Tories’ attempts to blame Sadiq Khan for the increase in the Central London congestion charge, which comes into effect today. Their mayoral candidate, Shaun Bailey, who was struggling to make any impact on the race for City Hall before the coronavirus forced the postponement of the election, has been frantically accusing him of lying about being required to hike the charge as a condition of the government’s financial bailout of Transport for London.

Jenny Harries, the deputy chief medical officer for England, encouraged people who have been shielding not to be fearful about returning to work. She said that incidence of coronavirus was now so low that, on an epidemiological basis, it would be safe to advice them to return to work now. But they were being told to go back from 1 August to give them time to get used to the idea, she said. She acknowledged that people would be worried. But she advised them to overcome their fears.

"For many people who have been out of normal societal circulation, actually having a job, going to work and doing something purposeful, is really important for your ongoing health, and your economic and mental health as well ... Although people will be fearful, they perhaps sometimes do need to push a little bit in order to get the benefit back themselves."

Harries said that many children who have been shielding would be better off in school.

"There is almost certainly a large number - a very large number - of children who are not going to school at the moment who could go, because parents are concerned that they should be shielding."

As an example, she cited the example of a child with asthma that was under control.

"Those children are at very, very low risk from Covid, they are probably at very, very significant risk of getting left behind in their education. In terms of the long-term health outcomes, that would be far worse."

That's useful. Was thinking about a new one myself. We have an ancient, incredibly faithful hp Laserjet 1300 that has been churning out black and white for nearly 15 years I reckon. What a printer! But it's struggling with the larger documents we get now and of course can't do colour.

Might have to keep it chugging on a while longer and, as we've done for a while, send the other stuff to the photographer / print shop down the road, assuming they are now open again.

I don't know about that specific model but I'd advise you to hold onto it even if you get a new one. Some things aren't made as well as they used to be.

In recent days I have heard ex-cabinet veterans, Hague, Ken Clarke, Alistair Darling, Willetts, Ed Balls, Blair, Andy Burnham, all talking better on Covid-related strategy than any member of the Johnson team. A depressing thought

Britain came close to effective insolvency at the onset of the coronavirus crisis as financial markets plunged into turmoil, the governor of the Bank of England has said.
Laying bare the scale of the national emergency at the early stages of the pandemic, Andrew Bailey said the government would have struggled to finance the running of the country without support from the central bank.
