Look, if politicians can’t hire their mates and pay them £1,000 a day and engage in sexual congress with them in breach of their own public health guidance, then we’re not going to continue to attract the brightest and the best to front-line politics.

The UK's response to new variants: a story of obfuscation and chaos. Must-read piece in BMJ co-authored by @chrischirp @martinmckee @ReicherStephen of #IndependentSAGE , @dgurdasani1 and @HZiauddeen go.shr.lc/3fRQ74n

The Stoics were interested in decoupling and unit testing:
The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control.

Bill Gates is setting up factories to manufacture 7 leading vaccine candidates before we know which is best & safest; we can test the vaccines in parallel, and then throw away all but the factory for the best vaccine. May save many months.
Just extraordinary.

This is mad. Either ban shit or don’t. Don’t “recommend.” “We don’t think gatherings cause infection so we’re not banning them but don’t go to the pub, club or theatre.” Pardon?

The Attorney General. A member of the Bar for 7 years. Oh, and the former chair of the ERG. I’m quite sure we are in completely safe hands . . . .
Suella Braverman MP @SuellaBraverman has been appointed Attorney General @attorneygeneral. She will attend Cabinet.

Boris Johnson is a coward. He’s running scared from @afneil so we took this advan to Tory HQ. SOUND ON.

The point of the prorogation isn't the number of days. It's the demonstration of a lack of principle. If you can bend one rule, you can bend another. This is how it starts

I wonder if one of his advisors will tell Boris Johnson that the most powerful thing he could do in his first week is nothing to do with Brexit. Whatever it takes, he must get Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe out of that cell in Iran.

WATCH: Managing Director of Iceland, Richard Walker (@icelandrichard) voted leave but he now sees that the opportunity cost of brexit, with vital things that really matter being neglected, are too great.
He now calls for a #PeoplesVote & he has confirmed he is a #RemainerNow 👏

Rees-Mogg wishes to vote again (for a third time) because the information he has access to and the circumstances have changed and he’s changed his mind. Why is this not an arguement for also putting the final deal to a public vote to assess if they agree with his change of mind?

Just attended my first @realDonaldTrump rally where my colleague BBC cameraman Rob Skeans was attacked by a Trump supporter. The crowd had been whipped up into a frenzy against the media by Trump and other speakers all night #TrumpElPaso
