As polls close for the Labour leadership election, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken part in this campaign.I honestly believe that we have come out of the other end of this contest as a better party: more united and ready to build another future. pic.twitter.com/Ff1SS6D3By

I hope they have the logo on....
But he added that the numbers aren't credible in many other countries, either.
Dr Frank Ulrich Montgomery said the recent low Chinese numbers were "nonsense" and suggested Beijing was intentionally providing false figures. Other countries are also working with uncertain figures because better data often isn't available, he added.
Dr Montgomery cited the lack of proper testing as a major reason explaining why many developing countries are reporting low infection rates.
He called for the World Health Organization to do more to impress on governments in poorer nations the need to take measures to restrict the spread of the pandemic. If the virus takes hold in megacities such as Cairo, "then it's going to get really dangerous," Dr Montgomery warned.
Paging Tyson......
Certainly should be invited.
If so will be the first time the centrist candidate has won a contested Labour leadership election since Blair in 1994, a Starmer win will also shift Labour to a more explicitly pro single market position post Brexit, especially if Nandy is only polling 16% with the Labour selectorate as the most willing to compromise with Leavers candidate
I think still a lot of barriers to that happening, but it is something I wouldn't mind happening.
The Little And Large star, 78, was best known for his partnership with Syd Little.
His family said he had coronavirus and his son, Ryan McGinnis, posted on Facebook:
"It is with great sadness that Mum and I need to announce that my dad passed away in the early hours of this morning.
"He had been suffering with heart failure and unfortunately, whilst in hospital, contracted the coronavirus, which his heart was sadly not strong enough to fight."
Not quite sure how many tests can be performed in parallel.
Worth a tenner at 50/1 (lay at 1.02)?
Not in-house, who would have confidence in that?
British American Tobacco reckons their scientists have found a promising Covid-19 vaccine candidate, and have the capability to mass-produce millions of doses within weeks if given approval to do so.

When I say told, this is by people involved in planning responses - not just a random guy on the internet
I shall sacrifice a goat to Athena on your behalf.
Make sure to tidy yourself up in case it turns out to be a video call.
OK celebs - how many can YOU buy?
If RLB wins then it will be a case of a stitch up and the Labour Party will implode , however even in the polling of just members who had joined during the height of the Corbyn era her lead wasn’t big and the second choices would favour KS as Nandy supporters wouldn’t be putting RLB as their second choice .
I was sharing the info for others benefit
My good lady wife has now been out allegedly at Tesco's for more than an hour.
Do I assume:
(a) that there is a very long queue to get into the shop;
(b) that she is indulging in a wild affair in breach of her social distancing obligations?
(c) that she was involved in a fight to the death for the last piece of dried pasta and, very uncharacteristically, lost?
(d) all of the above?
She has returned and is adamant that it was (a). Right...
There was a long queue to get into the shop, so to jump it she indulged in a wild affair with the manager to get moved to the front. Once there, there was a wild fight to the death over the last packet of pasta which she won, but she then had to wash the blood off the pasta she’d clubbed the other person to death with so it would scan.
Does that work?
Was she buying Easter eggs I wonder?
our daily walk is like playing life size pac man....avoiding joggers, remembering not to scratch your nose, you need eyes in the back of your head...
I find that as soon as I think about the fact I must not touch face the most excruciating itch starts
It would be a brave punter to bet on who will win the next leadership election.

Yeah, I don’t get it either.
Whatever happens the uproar in Labour will continue. My gentle baiting of mates about RLB has them openly admitting they will quit the instant she is declared to have "won". Alternately Starmer wins, is still reliant on a Labour machine which has been rebuilt in Corbyn's image and has to make Burgon shadow Chancellor.
But the point of contention was whether the INITIAL reporting in Jan/Feb was deceptive to the point of explaining/excusing the tentative pandemic response in other countries. And back then their reporting was solid enough, everyone else was sufficiently warned.
If Starmer is to be taken seriously step one should be sacking Burgon and Long Bailey etc in his first reshuffle. Johnson sacked Hunt, there is no reason why Starmer shouldn't sack Long Bailey.
1) allow it to go ahead
2) join the throng of visitors attending
They’re more useless than a Labour disciplinary policy.
It’s probably just a cock up.
(d) all the way.
