I’m not so sure.

He lost a seat in the Tory heartlands recently (Chesham and Amersham) and he’s soon going to find himself on the end of some extraordinary pressure from the CRG in his own party; hospitalisations will continue to rise and education will be disrupted into next year, and there is going to be extreme pressure for restrictions to be reimposed. He’ll dither as usual and end up making the wrong decision too late.

I think people are beginning to see through his bluster.

(Edit: Just came across this in today’s Guardian. There’s a vested interest in them holding this view, of course, but it makes some good points.)

He won the mayor seat in london (mainly labour).
He won the brexit vote.
He won a majority for the conservatives.
They've got no-one to replace him with.

Even if we had zero cases from now on hospitalisations and deaths will continue to rise. As there is a lag.
At the moment cases are rising. But the amount of people showing symptoms is falling. Because the rise is among vaccinated people.

US President Joe Biden has warned that the spread of Covid-19 misinformation on social media is "killing people".
He was responding to a question from a reporter about the alleged role of "platforms like Facebook" in spreading falsehoods about vaccines and the pandemic.
The White House has been increasing pressure on social media companies to tackle disinformation.
Facebook says it is taking "aggressive action" to protect public health.
"They're killing people," Mr Biden told reporters at the White House on Friday. "The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated."
US health officials have warned that the country's current spike in Covid-19 deaths and infections is exclusively hitting unvaccinated communities.




Well said.

Exactly this
Why won't the govt show real stats, show many vaccinated/unvaccinated/refusers are getting ill or unfortunately dying

Phe did. Under 50's mainly unvaccinated in hospital and dying. Over 50's mainly vaccinated. Mainly due to the fact that so many over 50's have been vaccinated. Although you have more chance of catching the virus having had the az vaccine. Hospitalisation for az, moderna and pfizer is cut by over 90%.
 
Who would have guessed there there is a super-secret pilot scheme involving Downing Street not having to follow the same isolation rules that 500,000 others in the UK had to follow last week?

Ties in nicely with the VIP access for PPE and testing contracts, though.

Wouldn’t think that’s too far-fetched. Investigations seem to be continuing into Russian interference in all sorts of areas.

Her and some fairly expensive lawyers have been to court over it a few times and failed to present any evidence on any occasion. It appears to be some kind of socialist fantasy, like the magic money tree.
 
There will be a lot of people declaring themselves part of “Bojo’s pilot isolating* scheme” over the next month.

They have fudged it before the restrictions have even been lifted.

*In this context “isolating” means not isolating and carrying on as normal.

Should have said 2 weeks ago, if you've been double jabbed no need to isolate.

You can still carry and pass it on though right?

Track and trace was intended to reduce transmission.

It sends a bad message, Boris can work isolated more easily than anyone else in the country, he lives next door to his office and has access to all of the things. He has no excuse.

You can but the viral load is much weaker.

It's a terrible message. They should have realised this was going to happen. They have plans for it for august 16th. Why then i have no idea.
