More than 80 days into the job and Biden’s approval ratings stay very strong – politicalbetting.com
The above chart from Nate Silver’s site show how remarkable strong Biden’s approval ratings have been since becoming President on January 20th. I’ve got a little bet on that he’ll still be in the 50-55% range on his 100 day in office on January 20th.

The distribution was a mess.
So all Biden had to do was to inject a small amount of competence and organisation into the distribution and the result is soaring vaccinations.
Biden shows what is possible with a bit of optimism.
🏴 74,055 1st doses / 437,442 2nd doses
🏴 14,054 / 17,176
🏴 16,436 / 15,699
NI 6,564 / 4,913
It started the pandemic with the worst infection rate in the state but now has half the COVID case rate than the state as a whole - 11 vs 22/100k.

Which order are the flags, and surely NI has a flag?

Making people pay for their own care is screwing them?
The problem is a lot of tories aren’t actually very conservative. They want free care and for other people to pay for it. They’re the ones doing the screwing.
It was a nice feature when it worked, but it wasn’t working.
Witches I suppose all you can ask for.
Was it an accident or an "accident"?
thanks
Good afternoon, everyone.
But at least there is a path.
I let them ride, and once the hurlyburly’s done - as it were - I spot the opportunity to put in a serious post.
What might have complicated matters in this case is of course if born in Britain the child would automatically be entitled to British citizenship through Harry.
He’s got no new ideas.
Why couldn’t Ben Foakes have saved his run making for England?
Pensioners not paying NI on high incomes is an anomaly that needs to be scrapped.
We are in agreement that a cross-party Royal Commission is needed though, the issue needs to be carefully thought through in a collaborative rather than adversarial way.
What a different player to his Man Utd days
Great, I like that idea too - but what do we do about everyone too old to join such a scheme now, who will need care in the next few decades? That's the more immediate problem that needs to be resolved.
Is it time to consider the Andrew RT Davies factor?
Moyes seems to have allowed him the space to play in.
There needed to have been extensive testing and quarantine of any and all travellers from last March.
Whistler, in British Columbia, has nearly 200 of 877 confirmed cases in the province but officials have only a murky idea of how widely variant has spread

Places to avoid re COVID, hospitals, meat packing factories, ski resorts and anywhere a professional footballer has been over the past few hours (although the last one might no longer be applicable as they all seem to have had COVID now).
And Leicester now 3 down
Not that this makes a huge amount of difference given the Assembly arithmetic. There'll be Labour-led administration after the next election, just like there has been after all the previous ones. Time for our regular reminder that, accounting both for demography and the propensity of different age groups to turn out and vote, the over 65s are a third of the electorate and the over 55s a whole half of it, and those proportions are increasing by the year.
The young will therefore be milked for more and more cash, unless or until the whole system collapses under the weight of the demands of the old. It's inevitable.
Furthermore, poverty in the Valleys and other parts is as bad as ever
The Conservatives have been doing well, especially in North Wales, and recent polls and local results indicate a failing labour administration
Andrew RT Davies is hopeless but it would be unexpected if the conservatives do not improve their representation in the Senedd in May
In a rare admission of the weakness of Chinese coronavirus vaccines, the country’s top disease control official says their effectiveness is low and the government is considering mixing them to give them a boost."

Oh, I already did.
When are they going to sack that dreadful Patel woman?
Nothing to do with Priti Patel
An optimist is a person who knows that they can.
Watch this space.
The important thing is that we don't allow potentially infectious people to enter the country, it really shouldn't be rocket science!
That’s quite a breakthrough for you!
To actually quarantine all the immigrants coming in, you'd need to escort everyone from the planes, buses and ferries, on entry to secure facilities. AKA detention camps. For a 2 week stay. The actual UK residents could be filtered out after a check of their documents.
I'm not so sure that there would be much cheering on the left for that.
Care does need to be sorted out but there are zero votes to be gained from doing so (and a lot to be lost) so until someone finds a means of removing the politics from it nothing is going to be done.
In the old days, when I were but a lad, their policies were mistaken, but at least they were decent people and trustworthy.
Our British politics, and indeed our whole society, were based on trust. The present crop of irresponsible Conservative incompetents have destroyed that.
