    I think this is absolutely what the Government are up to - they don’t want young Brits experiencing European culture, because it will make them want to reverse Brexit.

    RE: the government refusing visa-free music tours in the EU and ending Erasmus, you’ve got to wonder whether they're pursuing a deliberate long-term strategy of running down cultural 'Europeanism' in the UK. Erasmus famously creates ‘Europeans’, so does a shared cultural space

    There are hundreds of people now dead, who would be alive if the people arguing against locking down had behaved differently. We need to know who those people in Government were, and hold them to account.

    When this is over, we need a public inquiry. We need to know who knew what, and when. And we need to know who the voices in Cabinet were, arguing against locking down on 19/12, then 26/12, then 30/12 as cases increased, before agreeing on 4/1.

    I wrote this on 22nd Dec and with the doubling of cases we did then see the doubling of reported deaths last week (3 wks later, 13 Jan). it's still going up because cases went up all the way to Jan. 1,820 deaths reported in a day is what happens when govt delays action. Awful.

    Welcome to a preview of the UK’s public debate in 6 weeks from now. (Ignoring the Brexit angle) The most entitled generation in history, at the front of the queue for vaccination, demanding to know why everything isn’t open for them to enjoy as normal.

    The whole Government (the entire cabinet) has resigned, because of their poor handling of something which had a negative impact on thousands of families. Sadly, this was in the Netherlands, not the UK.

    Phew - that stable door has been shut, just in the nick of time!

    BREAKING: All travel corridors to close from 0400 Monday. Means ALL arrivals must have proof of negative test in previous 72 hours. And must go immediately into 10 day isolation on arrival, unless you test negative after 5 days.

    We have seen a 38% increase in child poverty over the last 10 years. Please stop voting Tory. It is not good for our country.

    You’d hate an Australia-style deal. They would seize your ham sandwich, AND fine you for not declaring it. In New Zealand, you’d be in bigger trouble than that - and certainly talking to the police. The EU single market is a miracle - and we are mad to have left it.

    Seizing British ham sandwiches somehow encapsulates the pettiness of EU diktat bureaucracy, which in itself wholly justifies the Brexit act. The Brexit process will take some outworking, but I'm happy to exchange ham-sandwich seizure for fiscal sovereignty.

    I know standards are low, but this is absolutely pitiful.

    Matt Hancock - I'm really glad that we can send out free school meals when schools are out. Piers Morgan - If you're that glad... why did you vote against giving free school meals?

    And of course, has huge media reach and following, all by himself. He doesn't need the mainstream media to get his message out - and when he speaks, it is "news" by definition. Even manages to make football fans not completely hate a Man U player!

    Agree with all of this - Rashford is a nightmare opponent for the Government. Came from poverty (so can't be accused of being a hypocrite); now has a good lifestyle (so has no need and nothing personal to gain from doing this).

    The truly remarkable thing about Marcus Rashford? How *perfectly* he plays this. He's never rude. He's never unreasonable. He never makes things party-political. He never pretends to know stuff that he doesn't. He's untouchable. They must *hate* him.

    The Chartwells/Compass free school meals package scandal is a teachable moment about capitalism. 1/ Why do so many families need free school meals? Because real wages have stagnated while profits soared...

    I see the Government are on the wrong side of again - that's worked out so well for them on past occasions.

    The FA Cup does strange things to people. Not sure I want to live in a world where Jose Mourinho is being held up as a shining example of good grace, sportsmanship, and everything that’s good about football!

    And there was that time Mourinho poked Tito Vilanova in the eye. Very unsportsmanlike behavior.

    Walking around London, it's clear that we've reached the limits of what workplaces government can close. If by 'limits' you mean 'nowhere near' and 'can close' you mean 'is willing to adequately compensate'.
