It happened yesterday, all hope is lost.
Stratton cast away the last vestige of her credibility.[Johnson] does believe in the wide principles of integrity and honesty. I’ve said that he acts with integrity, and is honest. And I’ve said that he follows the Nolan principles when conducting himself in public life.

Well that sucked. I woke up on Sunday night/Monday morning with chills, fever and a headache. It was weird, like having a dose of the flu without the actual flu. I remember getting up to get some water and the chills were so bad my teeth were chattering. I felt so shitty I didn't get out of bed yesterday until the early evening when the symptoms finally began to wear off. All in a good cause though and I feel fine today.
There are studies out there showing that if you've had Covid19 then your immune response to the vaccines is stronger, so maybe I've already had it or maybe I haven't, I'll never know.
I'm just glad I recovered quickly enough to enjoy this glorious sunny day.

And today we have the "report" of the police's handling of the Sarah Everard vigil. "Whitewash" would genuinely be over generous

Labour MP apologises for saying he once saw business as 'the enemy'.

Well now this is curious. If I put 'Boris Johnson fuck business The Sun' into Google I can't seem to find a single Sun article mentioning our Prime Minister letting British businesses know they could fuck off. How strange.After the remarks were highlighted by the Sun newspaper, Sobel apologised to the Labour leader.

Sobel has a bit of a predilection for gaffes tbh.

I've read the linked article. I can't see the gaffe nor can I see anything to apologise for since, from what I've read, he'd already backtracked anyway. Hartlepool Candidate was more gaffe-prone in my opinion. But he, apparently, is "the best".

Except when the DfE disagrees with them that is...The DfE has also defended schools’ right to include “controversial” ideas in the curriculum, balancing it alongside the need to promote respect and tolerance between people of different beliefs.

Two stories very closely linked I would argue...
Schools have been told they have to show their pupil premium spending is 'backed by evidence' as a condition of getting the funding.
and
Free school meals: 300k more pupils became eligible in first 7 months of Covid
So basically...it's costing us more so we're going to insist on you filing out our template and if we don't like your evidence then you lose the Pupil Premium.
Cynical, moi?

A good article imo.
Austerity Raises Covid Deaths
Austerity Raises Covid Deaths
We are living in the age of consequences. The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 uncovered our societies’ pre-existing structural weaknesses — which were the result of a pervasive political indifference to inequality, combined with decades of cuts to the most basic social protections and to wages, leaving large segments of our populations tragically vulnerable to the arrival of this virus (Marmot et al. 2020a, 2020b; Woolhandler et al. 2021).
Of course, the macroeconomic consequences of four decades of neoliberal management of the OECD economies were already there for all to see (Storm 2017): declining long-term growth (aka ‘secular stagnation’), suffocated by rising inequalities in income and wealth and by an obsessive-compulsive fiscal austerity by governments, but barely kept alive by rising (private and public) indebtedness and quasi-permanent asset-price bubbles (‘financialization’).

I note the right wing commentators somewhat predictably putting the boot into teaching unions for apparently not doing anything about the Batley Grammar issues.
Except they clearly are. The difference being that they are simply getting on with their job and not proclaiming loudly about it.
