If they brought forward ending self isolation for the double jabbed if they have come into contact with a Covid case from next month then it would not be an issue at all
Their bowling firepower and its depth is just extraordinary.
Enjoy it while it lasts, because the Hundred (if it survives beyond the large loss it will make this year) will kill that stone dead.

It's also incredibly sad that so many people don't get that he's taking the piss.
'Complete with line of ejaculate' is excellent.
When you say bringing it forward from next month would not make it an issue, but the sheer scale of stupidity over this, and todays nonsense provides Boris and HMG opponents with gifts that just keep on coming
The time for Boris to move over is rapidly coming, and the sooner the better to be fair for many of moderate conservatives.
Of course, you will show some selective polling that Boris is the darling of the Country but every day he seems to be challenging that popularity, and losing goodwill by the bucket full and reminding so many of how easily 'Ratner' trashed his brand so quickly
Verstappen was ahead. Hamilton should've backed off. Not a dirty move, but an error of judgement. The penalty was soft, should've been harsher. Hamilton had fantastic straight line speed and would likely have got him, or at least had a better chance, on the straight.
Deaths 25, down from 41.
Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour party, has written to Boris Johnson asking how he and Rishi Sunak were “magically selected” for a testing trial so they could avoid self isolation

Lewis got clearly ahead down the outside of Brooklands, Verstappen braked very late, Lewis saw Verstappen would certainly end up wide on the exit and thus backed off to give him the exit.
Doesn’t mean all gloves are off, of course, but I did think at the time that elbows would be out throughout the first lap.
Similarly when Labour replaced Blair, its most successful election winner ever, with Brown in 2007 it then went on to lose 4 successive general elections and has still not got back in power yet.
Parties get rid of leaders who win big general election majorities at their peril
NEW: probably the most important Covid chart I’ve made
As Delta goes global, it’s a tale of two pandemics, as the heavily-vaccinated Western world talks of reopening while deaths across Africa and Asia soar to record highs

As I said, no post-race now, and probably not tomorrow either.
GB News tried to cancel him.
The only possible alternative is Sunak but at most he would scrape a narrow election win a la Major 1992 in 2023/4 and we all know what happened to Major 5 years later.
On that historical analogy Boris would be Thatcher, Starmer Kinnock, Sunak Major and maybe Burnham Blair
SPotY now co-favourites of three at 5/1 or 6 on Betfair: Cavendish; Laura Kenny and Dina Asher-Smith. Cavendish was clear favourite at around 5/2 before today.
Seems that govt members are lucky being selected for all these trials.
That is not to say that he will never be manouvred out, he will - and probably relatively soon given his apparent lack of interest in the job. But trying to shift him after 2 years whilst he is doing well in the polls is really unthinkable and somewhat absurd.
Just want my party to get a grip and show some common sense
And I am still a member, and maybe with 35% plus like minded conservatives, hopefully
It is not a sustainable position.
Lab doesn't somehow make Burnham leader goodness only knows.
In England, hospital & ICU admissions are now above the level where restrictions were introduced last year and continue to rise at the same rate as in previous waves.
Tomorrow England completes its reopening 🤔 https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1416805533382742020/photo/1
However, if he beats all expectations and 'Freedom' day proves to be inspired both on covid and the economy, then all bets about future replacements will be off
And it would massively exceed all expectations
AIDS used to be a pandemic but has now been downgraded to a global epidemic. We just about had the internet back then. We did not have the web.
Monday is surrender day, not freedom day, in England

That’s racing.
So Priti Patel, Raab (if he held his seat) or even Rees Mogg would be more likely to become Tory leader if the Tories lost the next general election than a moderate
It could be the case but equally with the vaccination levels in the UK and so many unvaccinated catching covid adding to their antibodies, then it may just succeed
Of course, so much debate is political and sadly there are many in the UK who want it to fail to further their own twisted political objective
Max on the inside of Lewis - Lewis left room.
Lewis on inside of Lewis - Lando left room
Lewis on inside of Charles - Charles left room
Lewis on inside of Max - Bang.
Max keeps pulling these 'you blink of we'll both crash' poses and just assumes he's crazier than everyone else - it's about time his bluff was called and he got what was coming to him - glad he's not hurt but frankly that incident has been brewing for a while the way he drives.

They won’t give it to him, but I think it should be Tom Brady.
Then it can win. Not there yet.
I do wonder if 'pilot scheme' will become a new euphemism, and if so, exactly what for.
Do we want open borders with hotspots so we can all catch and be smugly immune, or closed borders so we can be rude?
Boris is fucking this up.
I'd say it's encouraging social contact combined with a rather larger dose of trying to make sure their staff do not get pinged.
The problem he has is, having adopted a stance of "constructive Opposition" in a time of national crisis (and, contrary to many on here, I think Starmer has done well), to evolve that into a sense of what a Labour Britain in 2024 is going to look like.
If I were him, I wouldn't go for anything too radical - the future, better would be where I'd start.
Think back to summer 2019 and the talk of MPs manipulating their stage of the leadership election. Everyone knew that BoJo would win a public vote easily (he did) but would be a terrible PM (he has been).
So now the Conservatives have a leader they can't ditch (too electorally potent) but need to ditch (because of repeated cockups like this morning's). And the net effect of today is that Sunak has taken on a bit of the tawdry.
So the problem for Johnsonphobes is a familiar one.
If not now, then when?
