Excellent link Peter - I saw his pathetic performance live at the daily briefing but the clip really hammered home what a buffoon he is.
I forgot to mention that of course the Tory party will turn on him like the hyenas they are. His stonking majority won’t save him there, all it means us that there are more Tory MPs to stick the knife in.
He should stick to presenting “Have I got news for you,” more his style and better suited. I used to actually quite like him in that.
Problem is that the news in Have I got News for you: is real news 
I think he’d be great fun at a party - it just shouldn’t be a political party.
I would hardly call Maria Warner a clownette.
You may well be right Jane. I have to admit I have no knowledge of any of his previous women. I just assumed that anybody who would trust him had to be one sandwich short of a picnic.
and so, at PMQs today (20/05/20) looking like he was dragged through a hedge backwards (perhaps he was?) Doris resorted to bullshit, bluster and bilge once again in a vein attempt to respond to Sir Kier’s filleting. You could sense the note of panic in his resposes and his bestest mate Handoncock got a not often given given sideswipe from Mr Speaker for baracking the Leader of the Opposition. Mr Speaker told him, if he prefers, leave the chamber so that someone else can take the seat (to act in a more orderly fashion).
Poor Doris. The usual cretins behind Doris on the Govt back benches bayed as per usual in the vein hope that they will garner favour and be summoned to lick the Prime Ministerial crapper clean 
I was busy faffing around so missed it live. I’ll tune in now. It’s certainly made Wednesdays more interesting.
“Cometh the hour cometh the man”
I hope and pray nothing untoward happens to Keir Starmer between now and the next Election - Many people are seeing our current batch of Leaders for what they really are - I found this article pitched perfectly for the issues of the day. Worth a read IMO.
oups…
Starmer 1 Bojo 0. The buffoon misjudged it yet again.
Next up is him explaining why the “World beating” track and trace system he promised for June 1st at PMQs yesterday is not up and running. One of the key pillars, the App, isn’t even expected to be implemented now until July. Bojo can’t help himself, bluster, bluster, bluster.
BTW, I see on the BBC news the real testing yesterday was only 62K of which 23K were retests. the rest of the total were just tests posted out.
Starmer 3: BoJo 0 I think.
PMQs are better than Plus Belle La Vie now. I will miss not having this 20 minutes of joy next Wednesday.
Hard luck, Jane, the bleeders are in recess… 
I think we need to remember the real people behind the politicians’ claims and spin. One of them is someone I’ve known since my first day at primary school.
Yes, that’s what drives me slightly mad knowing that there are people at many levels working their butts off to get things in place but often despite the politicians rather than due to their effective leadership and management. So just changing targets on a whim puts enormous pressure on the people tasked with delivering the product.
(I don’t have the IT ability to enhance images etc etc, but I think it can be done, so hope there is nothing confidential in that image)
It wouldn’t have been posted where it was if there was.
I think it’s two weeks to the next one jane. It’s a bit like the old cliffhangers. Will Bojo explode, will Hancock, the minister for euthanasia, actually say something that’s true… tune in next week…
Today’s broadcast was brought to you by Wooster-Mogg Enterprises, the (Dublin based) hedge fund you can trust 
How many points knocked off for a U turn Jane?
I really hope your friend is correct David but I am sceptical. The tracking app that was to be rolled out in the middle of May will now not appear until July at the earliest. And even then it is a UK roll your own centralised solution and not using the approved interfaces developed by Apple and Google. That will lead to performance and privacy issues.
The reports on Channel 4 are that the training is a shambles, and why would’t it be? It’s impossible to recruit and train 25,000 people in a matter of weeks. Of course had the lockdown been timely and the testing been adequate then nowhere near 25,000 tracers would have been required at all. So I find them claiming credit for rising to a challenge they created in the first place a bit rich.
The biggest issue for me is the lack of honesty. People can accept mistakes have been made. All countries bar a very few have made mistakes, including France. But Macron apologised for the mistakes and that built public confidence that he’s on the level with them. Bojo blusters and waves his hands.
Bojo, Hancock, Raab and all the usual suspects have lied and spoofed their way through the crisis. They’re still lying about tests, there were only 67,000 real tests on Wednesday and 23,000 of those were retests. There were loads of tests posted out but what does that matter? So, nothing is what they claim it to be.
Personally I believe these is SFA chance of Bojo delivering on the promise he made at PMQs about testing on June 1st. There will be nobody happier than me if I’m wrong but the old saying "fool me once…"should be the caveat to anything Bojo or his band of merry men (and Priti Patel) promise IMO.
Prepare yourself for some reset of the track and trace goalposts, just as Hancock pivoted from tests done to tests (supposedly) available.
So much for the government’s claim to be ‘following the science’…
There is David, there’s an Official-Sensitive document on the top left 
I’m a bit paranoid about these things because my old firm was too. It had “internal Use Only”, “Confidential”, “Confidential Restricted” and a few lawyer only classifications on top. Being caught by not following the rules by the internal auditors, either by not classifying correctly or not protecting correctly, was a painful experience. I even remember as junior manager having a bordroom debate with an internal auditor whether a blank page marked “confidential restricted” on a central printer was a breech or not. I think my robust engagement with him marked me out for promotion because everybody from director down hated the auditors.
