Really good game.

I think I’m the only British weekly columnist who is shielding - please correct if wrong - and it shows. Millions of people locked in their homes is a massive public policy issue but it’s been remarkable how little attention it’s received. A non-disabled media can’t represent us.

100% agree with Keir Starmer that schools must stay open. Put teachers, staff and pupils at the front of the queue for testing alongside frontline NHS staff and keep children in school. For disadvantaged children the damage of prolonged school absence will last a lifetime #marr

It’s odd but increasing the possibility that we will be able to retain standards we already enjoy really is a cause for celebration now. Incredible when you think about it. And most of the people who made this mess have now moved on to fighting scientists.

Where is the transparency and public interest here? "The Conservative MP Owen Paterson, who is paid £100,000 a year to act as a consultant for Randox, was party to a call between the company and James Bethell, the [hereditary peer] health minister". theguardian.com/world/2020/nov…

Mike Critchley St.Helens R.F.C. The pleasure was all mine! Best part of my career at Saints.

Astonishing (not astonishing) that this needs explaining to people who do journalism for a living.

It has been another deeply concerning week for Tory cronyism. A thread on some of the most troubling stories surfacing over the last few days. 👇

I'm always amazed by the Rasputin-like conspiracies attached to Downing Street's behaviour when the simplest and most compelling explanation for what they do is that they're idiots.

All aboard the Tory Covid gravy train! No wonder from across our country, there are accusations of corruption and cronyism, with contracts handed down to dubious firms, linked to Tory chums and donors.
