The biggest thing in Hartlepool was Conservatives hoovering up the BXP vote. Apply the same principle here with both BXP and the Wollies (who seem to be even more right-wing populist) and this ought to be a walk in the park for the Conservatives.isam said:

58 years and a couple of days ago I had to send a telegram (remember them) to my in-laws, who didn't have a phone, advising them of the birth of their first grandchild. Mother-in-law didn't like phone boxes so got the bus to the next town, where f-i-l worked, to tell him.DavidL said:

The Shocking New Use for Red Telephone Boxes

Edit, 55 years ago it was very different. At Worthy Down, just outside Winchester there was an army base with a lot of Scots including my father. On a Saturday night there would be a queue down the street as everyone phoned home and passed the weekly news. It was not the done thing to use more than about 3 coins and those who were thought to have done so would receive a tut on the way out. Probably had more trouble getting served in the NAAFI shop too. As a young kid this is how I spoke to my Grand parents who were in phone boxes in Dundee. No one had a phone in their house in those days and the idea you might have one in your pocket would have been laughable.3 -

From the Covid crisis to educational near-meltdown to the Alex Salmond saga and beyond, each icy peak has been a formidable challenge to her skills of leadership and endurance.
But the highest summit yet lies ahead and, I’m afraid, it looks increasingly likely that it will be the one to defeat her. Despite having promised her party and the wider Yes movement that there will be a second independence referendum in this parliament, she isn’t going to deliver. There won’t be a vote. There won’t be a famous victory. Scotland will continue as part of the United Kingdom.

Well I was a Tory Remainer don't forget! Technically though while Cotswolds District was 51% Remain, Tewkesbury District where we were staying was 53% LeaveEl_Capitano said:
Congrats HYUFD.HYUFD said:
Yes, been married for over a week now thanks and just returned from a Cotswolds honeymoonBig_G_NorthWales said:
Only surprised that you chose to spend your honeymoon in our rapidly-turning-orange Cotswolds!
All I have to do
Is mark my 'X' by you
And then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me
I can feel your conceit
I can hear you briefing
'gainst Sir Keir
Wouldn't you agree
Baby, you and me
Got a groovy kind of Gove0 -

They’re finally looking primarily at the numbers in hospital, rather than the raw case numbers of the young and asymptotic?CarlottaVance said:
Whitty at the Press Conference said "cases might be higher than they are today" - unless admissions and deaths start to spike they'll hold the course.Cookie said:
But this was all in the models. In fact, we're well under what the models predicted, I think. And the models still had us opening up. 22000 is a big number but no bigger than where we expected to be. 3 and 227 are more significant.Daveyboy1961 said:

A good point, and that particular data is, I hope, part of the conversation.MaxPB said:
We're at about a 50-60% weekly rise in cases but about a 10% rise in hospitalisations. And as always, I'd like to point out that we still aren't being told what proportion of hospitalisations are coming from unvaccinated by choice.turbotubbs said:

Really pleased to hear this. Take care of yourself.DavidL said:
Taking it easy at home thanks. Going to be somewhat under powered for a while yet but the projection is positive.TimT said:
@ DavidL. Glad to see you back and hope you are doing well after your recent scare.DavidL said:
Yes I do know. The variants of concern as they call them, which have basically been the SA one, Kent and now Delta, have each increased the infectivity of the virus and its propensity to spread. The evolutionary advantage of this is obvious and there is a recognised tendency for viruses to develop in this way, also becoming more benign because this keeps their host alive for longer allowing more opportunities for transmission. Going by the past pattern it seems inevitable that an even more infectious variant than delta will be along very shortly.turbotubbs said:
You do know that there are hundreds of variants don't you? Only a few have characteristics that make a material difference to its ability to make people ill. And it cannot change too much it loses the ability to say bind to the ACE-2 receptors.DavidL said:
Its' good but not good enough. It leaves several million people unvaccinated and even more with only partial protection. We need to find ways to incentivise those we have missed, go looking for them and persuade. There is a lot to do here and it is very important to our protection from not only delta but the next variant off the block (which must surely be overdue).Malmesbury said:
The first vaccination rate in the UK is about 0.4% of adult population per day, with the number as of yesterday at 84% of adults. Wales strongly suggests that it will top out at about 89% of adults.DavidL said:
Sigh. Absolutely no question what should be top of Sajid's in-tray. Indeed, empty the bloody in-tray into the bin and put the rate of vaccination back in. Nothing that is in our power is more important economically, socially, healthwise. Nothing.FrancisUrquhart said:263,267 vaccinations in 🇬🇧 yesterday
🏴 118,366 1st doses / 97,993 2nd doses
🏴 17,869 / 12,418
🏴 944 / 8,766
NI 2,533 / 4,378
That means in about 12-14 days*, the first vaccinations will be over - in terms of people actually trying to get vaccinated.
The supply pipeline for vaccines is months long and you can't just get an extra delivery.
So no, he can't change anything at this point.
*Yes - that assumes it doesn't tail off.
We need to be careful of variants, but there is little prospect of a sudden emergence of a variant which completely evades the current vaccines.
The evidence to date is that none of these variants defeat the vaccine but in countries like ours where the majority of potential hosts are vaccinated the ability to do so would be a huge evolutionary advantage and any such variant would become dominant very quickly. We need to stay alert to this but the priority is to protect as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
Eldest has today had his first vaccine. So that's all 3 children with a first vaccine dose. A big relief.
An even bigger one was seeing him use a helmet when he went off on his bike. He's been silly about not using it before but the accident last week and his badly bruised head has changed his mind - in a way that all my nagging and begging didn't.

Contrarian aside, most will be easily persuaded that the risk of serious health impacts to letting rip in secondary schools is worse than vaccination in them.
Does anyone have any data on the risk of hospitalisation for the under 12s please? And the under 5s?0 -

Ripley: [beat] You're crazy, Burke, you know that? You really think you can get a dangerous organism like that past ICC quarantine?0 -
That ship has sailed. It is already ripping through secondary schools.

No posting from honeymoon then. Lack of commitment there. You know that Jack Nicklaus played lots of golf on his? Yep - that's why he has 18 majors.HYUFD said:Thankyou everyone for the congratulations, much appreciated
We had a nice time though, went to lots of lovely villages and small towns, Castle Combe, Tetbury, Chipping Camden, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Norton and Sudeley Castle and Snowshill, Cheltenham and Worcester. We also had Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse staying in the same hotel as us near Tewkesbury for a few days, no doubt filming something- Sounds perfect. We're going in the Autumn. Doing some arboretum type things.

Re the Gmail accounts for Ministers, if anyone at work sent any work material (not just very confidential stuff) to a private email address, it was automatically a disciplinary offence - sometimes leading to dismissal.
I am surprised that it isn't the same in government - not the disciplinaries - but the absolute ban on non-government email accounts. It is utterly insecure and very very poor practice.8 -
Ministers using gmail and government departments using Chinese CCTV cameras.....you might as well just publish everything on the internet for every foreign power to see what you are up to.
