Anyone else just catch John Torode on This Morning catch fire to his kitchen live on TV? 😂

Calm, confident and devastating first question from Keir Starmer in his first #PMQs with Boris Johnson. The UK now has the highest official covid-19 death toll in Europe and the second highest in the world. "How on earth did it come to this?"

Incredible. The statistician cited by name by Johnson at PMQs yesterday tells him to do one. Meanwhile, 400,000 gowns they couldn’t stop boasting about buying from Turkey are *all* unusable. But now is not the time...

What would happen if you gave an Apprentice candidate 2 hours to design a pandemic slogan. 'We should make it look as radioactive as possible' 'And it should say #StayAlert' 'But that doesn't make any se..... 'Print it, I'm team leader on this task and we've a deadline here'

I know it is tough to lose a trusted adviser at the height of crisis, but when it’s a choice of that or integrity of vital public health advice, the latter must come first. That’s the judgment I and, to her credit, Catherine Calderwood reached. PM and Cummings should do likewise.

I would say - and for once I'm actually vaguely qualified to comment - that BBC managers, already bruised by lack of access to ministers, have bowed to pressure from the government & let Emily Maitlis down very badly.
