On Sunday @matthancock said there had been "only" 36 deaths, so we were "winning" the battle. There were 233 today - does that mean we're losing again? Asking for a country.

Tobias Ellwood No, Tobias, neither MoD or Cabinet should be *paying*. This is TAXPAYERS' £ & it's a shockingly bad use of it. Govt has also showered cronies with multi-£million public contracts sans proper procurement procedures. How long do you think we'll wear a corrupt & wasteful Govt?

My heart sinks when I’m reminded that Dominic Raab is our Foreign Secretary BBC Radio 4 Today

Robert Jenrick has just said on BBC Radio 4 Today that the planning process is not currently digital so busy people can’t play a part. That is not so in Cambridge at least (cant believe we are alone) where you can access documents and comment online.

Listened to Nick Robinson interview Robert Jenrick on #Today . #Jenrick is utterly clueless on how the planning system operates & the current failures & successes of trying to build more homes. His plans for the future are a nonsense.

James O'Brien I’m sat at Calais after filling out my online Covid declaration as required by the U.K. govt . Did I get asked for it ? NOPE !

Ian Hislop - The current cabinet are only in post because of their views on brexit... & it shouldn't be any great surprise that they're crap, because they were only chosen just to agree with Boris Johnson. (video PoliticsJOE)

'Boris Johnson wants to involve local leaders more in the handling of Coronavirus,' gushes the BBC. What planet has he been on? Why has it taken so long to do the blindingly obvious?

Most of my Spanish friends don't have a passport because they use their ID cards to travel. I guess they'll not bother with short breaks in the UK anymore.

Almost all polls show that most Britons now think Brexit was a mistake — but it's the pandemic that has really slashed people’s emotional investment in it, writes Simon Kuper on.ft.com/2H7W9A4
