The health secretary Matt Hancock has come up with another ploy to deflect blame from the government for making the Covid 19 crisis worse through delay and mishandling. He's blaming the shortage of protective gear on medical workers for binning disposable gloves, gowns, and masks.

No one should ever deny anti-Semitism within Labour. It must always be tackled head-on and eradicated for the cancer it is.
We must deal in facts. Factually Labour has been the least anti-Semitic of the main parties, and least racist in general. In both cases, way less than the...
That Boris Johnson would catch Coronavirus was entirely predictable. His sense of entitlement made him feel invulnerable, an attitude stemming from Eton, Bullingdon Club, etc etc. His risky life style, the long string of affairs, infidelities and broken marriages are testament to this.

A man who appears to have spent most of his careers off his nuts on coke and 'Sweet Mary Jane' has endorsed the new Labour cabinet. A man who told us that the deficit he voted for in 2007/8 and 'inherited' in 2010 would be paid off by 2015...
Most commentators have pointed out the fact that government Minister after government Minister has failed to answer questions at the Daily Briefings.

The disturbing questions which this...
Initial thoughts:
It’s basically not Blairites and not Corbynistas.
My main concern is the lack of ‘leave’ MPs (I am a Remainer BTW). Lisa Nandy as Foreign Secretary is worrying. Genuinely very worrying. No Clive Lewis, Dawn Butler or Barry Gardiner is also odd for me. As is removing Shami...
Over the last few days many, many people have been saying something similar. Why is Matt Hancock suddenly prescribing a cut to footballer's wages when thousands are dying from a virus that the government has so far contributed to significantly?
Is he doing the usual tactic of diverting attention away...
