It's absolutely embarrassing. Literally pathetic.
Westminster Politics

There is something fundamentally wrong with a government who is perfectly happy with and boasts about spending some £400m + of public money on the much vaunted Eat Out To Help (the spread of covid) Out, and yet is finding numerous reasons why they should not spend a tiny fraction on extending the free school meals for children.
I mean. Where is the logic?

Yeah all very true i just don't think many see him as the one making many of those decisions given the last one had to stand down due to interference. The cabinet are just pawns in this government.
He has done well to avoid the cameras at times of negativity and engage with it for the good stuff.
This is true except I think it goes beyond right wing insurgency. The UK is realigning itself along US lines and you'll see the media being all too happy to play the role of an imagined monolithic "left".
I did say some time ago when Rishi was being lauded for spraying money around like there was no tomorrow that it was easy to chuck money around in a national emergency.
He should be judged on his handling of the economy when things stabilise.
Particularly after Brexit has damaged a weakened economy.
thats so bad my first thoughts are did Gove do it

Are you ready for the stories about Boris pressuring this to be dropped?
I'm looking forward to the front page of the BBC News site.

Not really been commenting on domestic politics for a while. Just want to say that it's incredible how incompetent this government is. Can't even declare a lockdown properly.

Yeah sure, the 'leak' has damaged public trust. Not the incompetent arseholes in government.
My money is on either PM/Hancock/Sunak/Gove

Ridiculous pantomime we all know who has leaked it. They're just pretending otherwise because they're supposed to take it to parliament first and got bollocked last time they did this.
Money on Gove!

Course brexiteers hate lockdown, pretty standard, like a canary down the mine whatever they think the opposite will be true (mind you Farage actually posted a coherent tweet recently).
He must be low on cash out to rip some more people off.
For goodness sake does he know how dangerous what he is about to do will be? Brilliant let’s spread more mis information about how lockdown doesn’t work so even less people stay a part.

Am I right in saying that herd immunity isn’t really a thing without a vaccine?

These guys just tap into right wing populism and divisive issues. Then drive a big wedge right through the population.
Anti lockdown brexiters! FFS.

Yep! It’s so dangerous and it’s a big part of the reason we are where we are.
They were planning a new party a year ago, just needed something to campaign on. Absolute scumbags, dangerous scumbags.
Had to be didn't it. He's such a vulture.
Farage is just a vehicle for rich Conservative benefactors to apply pressure on the Conservative party. Single issue on an issue that will not even be an issue by the next election?
is there a similar demographic split for lockdowns as there is with brexit?
Morons vs sensible people you mean?
Good breakdown thread here -

Granted it's a long list but Farage is still the biggest bellend in British politics imo.
A focused protection policy sounds ominous coming from him. Half expecting them to suggest some kind of camp system where you could concentrate the vulnerable.
recreating that coalition looks like it will be tough then.
the medium-term impact of brexit was hastening the generational/northern shift to the tories, but i don't see it happening here.
