I do wonder if people tune into him precisely because they dislike the Tories (or remainers during the Brexit debate) and just want to see them shouted at or 'done over' in some way. It's a bit like Trump's support. He's a cretin, but people think he's both on their side, and sticking it to people who aren't on their side. For Morgan, he's the news version of watching Liverpool get beaten. Satisfying, but it doesn't change the general crapness of Everton one bit.

He is a nasty piece of work , a lot of the questions he asks are very valid & relevant but then turns everyone off with his constant overtalking and not letting them reply properly.
Just a pity we havent got credable opposition to ask the same questions.

It’s right though. It’s bad enough being stuck in the house, having constant negativity thrown at you doesn’t help. If they can’t say or do anything to improve the situation I’d rather they stayed quiet.

If the same people had been reporting on WW2 we would all be speaking German......

If the same people had remained in charge we would have been. Criticism of them, and eventually getting rid, was what saved the country.

Indeed, lets ignore appeasement of Chamberlain and Baldwin, although they are probably Labour PMs now, in whatever guff the right of politics read these days.

To be honest, I suspect they are. From experience, away from the punch and judy visage, many politicians get on perfectly well, and are capable of working effectively together. The tiresome tubthumpers who regard everyone on the opposite benches as the enemy come what may are in a (vocal) minority.

I'm sure Mr Bean would find a way

The Czech pubs are open but expect people to wear a mask, keep a social distance, and not use the toilet (as they're shut to the public). I'm not sure which of those is sillier.

Just watched panorama. Johnson and chums lied all the way through brexit and they're lying all the way through this too. Shameless.

"We were following the scientific advice given to us..." said Gove, Raab, Johnson, Hancock etc.

Govt were told we were way under stocked and under prepared for a pandemic in 2016 after a major review, told multiple times to increase the PPE stockpile, not a single medical gown was in the stock, they didn't buy one gown to put in the pandemic contingency.

I'll give you a perfect example of Tories spinning lies, when you hear Hancock/Raab/Gove quoting how much PPE has been supplied to Hospitals, they are counting the left hand glove and the right hand glove as two pieces of PPE.

Gloves are the top of the table for the PPE item most supplied, and that's because they count each hand separately, doubling the amount supplied.

If they can produce gold D&G masks mate, the Scouse girls will wear them with pride.

They’ll have to make special edition ones though, as they’ll need extra space for their duck lips.

Can you make sewing machines out of dyson parts ??

I was thinking a bit about masks earlier, as I suffer a bit from hayfever. Ordinarily I'd have some tissues in my pocket, and sneeze into those, but in our mask world, would I be expected to sneeze into a mask, and not then remove it until I get home, by which point there could be a few sneezes worth of snot and dribble accumulated and pressed against my face?

Look on it as a cheap facial lol
