Punters now make it a 66% chance that Brian Rose will get less than 2% in the London Mayoral race – politicalbetting.com
The big surprise in the race for the London mayoralty has been the apparently well funded campaign by political newcomer, Brian Rose. At one stage he was being traded on the betting exchanges as 7/1 second favourite.

Especially to Mr. Quincel, who tipped laying Rose to win at about 9 or so.
He’s also a great admirer of Margaret Thatcher.

Amazing that's now value, but it is. Only eight weeks today.
He got just over 44% last time and given how useless and fractured his opposition is, and how London has continued to swing Left in the last 5 years, I'd probably price that 6/4.
I miss them.

I suspect vaccine hesitancy will continue to diminish with the roll out.
Biden off to a great start. No showman, just getting on with stuff.
And Good Morning, virtual neighbours, on what is a very blowy morning here. Seems to have blown the earlier rain through, though.
I feel a little sorry for EasyJet here
On 2 occasions male passengers asked this lady to move because she was a woman. She dug her heels in and refused. EasyJet bribed her to move (albeit with just a hot drink) and she sues them because they didn’t back her up but sought conflict resolution.
Khan is such a nothing as mayor, he makes a very strong case for "What's the point?". Would anybody have missed the post if it had been abolished these past 5 years?
And as it happened more than once it's clearly company policy on that flight and hence the court case.
She seems to have won because they didn’t respond appropriately to her subsequent complaint
I still haven't given up hope she might turn up, but this is awful news.
Why didn't I spot that?
Tell the men that they're welcome to leave the plane and rebook a future flight buying three seats if they don't want someone sitting next to them. (I don't know if that's even possible to be fair given you need to give passenger information).
Came at a price though. Not a single Republican supported it in the House. Bipartisanship really does seem dead in the US.
Or not, in this case.
Our biggest problem is staff retention. Lots are burnt out and planning to call it a day.
As for risk of Covid the fact is that while less high profile there are considerable sectors seeing job losses and pay freezes and higher rates of Covid deaths tragically.
But they're not as pretty or high profile as nurses so you don't give a fuck about that do you Jonathan?

He was a police officer with ID to prove it. That isn't a normal thing for men to have.
Apart from Israel (disappearing off into the sunset,) the UAE (well ahead but starting to level off a little) and a handful of microstates, Serbia and Hungary are also following a similar trajectory to the UK and US, albeit that Hungary only took off recently and so is playing catch-up. The other star performer at the moment is Chile, which is moving very fast indeed from a standing start at the beginning of February and has almost caught the Americans.
The EU average is only just coming up on 10 in 100 and is getting steadily further behind.
But for you there's never a time not to boost pay is there? Pay rises for all, all the time, and who cares that businesses are teetering on the edge of collapse and can't give pay rises or fund these pay rises eh?
What we haven't seen as yet is evidence that there is much of a slide for them in the Holyood Elections which are just weeks away now.
The solution is to move people around the plane to make it work.
Which is what EasyJet did
According to the latest EU figures, Germany and France have each used less than three-quarters of their vaccine stocks, while Belgium has used less than a third."
Telegraph
Newly qualified doctors and nurses need a couple of years before they can work autonomously.
I'm hoping not, of course.
It doesn't make any sense. I can't stop using a warrant card and police uniform I don't own.
She says that because the alleged perpetrator may have abused his warrant card we should “stop telling women to change her behaviour. The onus is on men”
Unfortunately she is part of the “all men are rapists” brigade. But that’s the context of @Morris_Dancer ’s post
Let's wait to see what Labour actually DO about nurse's pay in the one place where they are in power.
Labour have the freedom in Wales to implement whatever additional pay rise or bonus they wish.
Over to the Great Drakeford ...
Is it OK for people to whine yet, President Balsonaro?

The EU is a perfect example of what Benedict Anderson described as an imagined community. Its foundational myths are that ever-closer union is what ensures peace, prosperity and the security of its citizens. National self-government, by contrast, must lead to chaos, poverty and disease.
Like all powerful ideological claims, it cannot stand to be contradicted by reality: the fact that breakaway Britain has triumphed in the vaccine race is an intolerable affront, a scientific impossibility even. The result is a classic case of cognitive dissonance, a refusal to face facts, and an attempt at finding refuge in the EU’s comfort zone by claiming that Britain cheated, that we lied, as we have supposedly done throughout history.

Just a fraction of the companies that went bust and lost tens of thousands of jobs.
Or like John Lewis and Pizza Express who are just about hanging on but will shut stores and dump jobs.
For every example of a company that has done well out of the Pandemic I can probably find ten that have sacked workers or gone out of business completely.
