Oh Dear!

The Gutter Rejoices....

The gutter, for the moment, rejoices in the news that Boris and Cummings have Covid-19.

However, the gutter would do well to remember what goes around comes around!

Boris Has #COVID19

Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.

Together we will beat this. #StayHomeSaveLives pic.twitter.com/9Te6aFP0Ri

Boris Does The Journalists' Job For Them

At today’s press conference, Boris had to raise the Oxford/Imperial modelling question because it seemed beyond any of the journalists present to do so. I’ve yet to hear questions on chloroquine, resource-share and much much more. The U.K. press lobby is so bad.

The Coronavirus Bill will pass through the commons today.

12 hours have been set aside for the process.

Once given Royal assent, you can expect its stronger powers to be implemented quickly where and when needed.

Parliament is expected to go into recess on Thursday.

Burgon Falls For Fake Chinese Stats

The mounting death toll in Italy is heartbreaking, with over 400 deaths in the past 24 hours

China has a population 23x larger than Italy, but fewer deaths.

It's literally a matter of life and death that we urgently implement the public health lessons we can learn from China. https://t.co/jvxXSkFsSu

I think we can assume that this is not because Boris has spilled wine on the sofa again!

The #COVID19 Budget

New: Rishi Sunak told Cabinet his coronavirus plans will 'make the UK one of the best placed economies in the world' to manage impact of the outbreak.

Budget will give those 'working on the front line against the virus get the support they need'.

Health Minister Tests Positive For #COVID19

Thanks for so many good wishes. It’s been pretty rubbish but I hope I’m over the worst of it now. More worried about my 84yo mum who is staying with me and began with the cough today. She is being tested tomorrow. Keep safe and keep washing those hands, everyone.

Labour Suspends Trevor Phillips!

The former UK equality watchdog chief, Trevor Phillips, has been suspended from the Labour Party over allegations of Islamophobia.

The Times newspaper reported the anti-racism campaigner is being investigated over past comments dating back years.

Mr Phillips, ex-chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said Labour was in danger of collapsing into a "brutish, authoritarian cult".

Labour said it takes complaints about Islamophobia "extremely seriously".

A spokeswoman added: "[The complaints] are fully investigated in line with our rules and procedures, and any appropriate disciplinary action is taken."

Mr Phillips was among 24 public figures who wrote to the Guardian last year declaring their refusal to vote for Labour because of its association with anti-Semitism.

He could be expelled from the party for alleged prejudice against Muslims.

Mr Phillips has been suspended pending investigation over remarks, including expressing concerns about Pakistani Muslim men sexually abusing children in northern British towns, according to the Times.

It says the complaint also covers his comments about the failure of some Muslims to wear poppies for Remembrance Sunday and the sympathy shown by some in an opinion poll towards the "motives" of the Charlie Hebdo attackers.
