Rishi Sunak is one of the most overrated politicians of our time. He is a dreadful performer who propped up Johnson until it wasn't good for Rishi. He cannot do anything off script. I'd welcome him as an opponent.

Very very strange that this story seems to be systematically removed from the web.... would be a bad thing if folks retweeted and spread it far and wide........

Please help me out. I'm trying to rope @45Drives into helping me out with a top secret #RaspberryPi storage project. Like this tweet if you want to see a Petabyte Pi. Retweet if you want to see a Petabyte Pi.

At one point I was a little excited that he might actually resign ... how daft am I?

Why don't we just stop asking Bojo questions since he's obviously determined not to answer any? Let's just ignore him

GREAT NEWS My ongoing campaign to limit the number of people retweeting this image and causing any upset to Boris Johnson has made great progress I am now so confident that nobody will RT it that I am going to tag in @BorisJohnson so he can see how well we're doing. Thank you.

Josephine sets a great example to us all by postponing her birthday party until we have sent coronavirus packing. Together we can beat this. In the meantime let's all wish her happy birthday (twice) whilst washing our hands. #BeLikeJosephine #StayHomeSaveLives
Happy birthday! I am glad to hear you are staying at home, though I am sorry to hear about your party! We have all got to do our bit to protect the NHS and save lives, and that is exactly what you are doing, so well done! You are setting a great example. If we can work together we can send coronavirus packing. And once we have done that, you can DEFINITELY have a party with your friends!

Looking at coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ who decided that updating the R value was a waste of time and why?

I thought it might be fun to do a quick distraction project on the mathematically optimal way to play wordle. Wrote a little program yesterday which uses a bank of ~13,000 words along with their frequencies in English, tried it today. Not bad! 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
