Sir Keir Starmer has appointed former Labour leader Ed Miliband to his new shadow cabinet.
Mr Miliband, who led the party between 2010 and 2015, will now hold the role of shadow business secretary. Sir Keir won the contest to lead the party on Saturday, after beating Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy. He named Ms Nandy as his shadow foreign secretary on Sunday, and has now appointed Ms Long-Bailey as shadow education secretary. Emily Thornberry, who failed to make it onto the final ballot in the leadership contest, will now become shadow international trade secretary. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-52187354

Boris Johnson is "responding to treatment" for coronavirus as he spends his third day in hospital.
The prime minister was being kept in St Thomas' Hospital in London "for close monitoring" and remained clinically stable, Downing Street said. Downing Street said he was not working but could contact those he needed to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52208156

I could understand that some peope are a bit concerned.
We do not exactly know how many patients were infected by Boris Johnson when he shook all those hands everywhere, and in the hospital. It was not the most clever thing to do, and there is a lot of hubris and boasting in his speech/video.

There are other world leaders who acted similarly, the Dutch PM to name just one.
God only knows what they were thinking of and hopefully they are better at remembering their respective policies.

Johnson lost me when in the earlier stage of Corona Rising he willed to let the pandemic just burn through the population at all cost. Granted, they later corrected that, but back then I compared that earlier attempt to mass murder, didn't I, and I still think of it as that, and I do not easily forget nor forgive Johnson's attitude back then. That now he gets the taste of what he initially was willing to hand a signficant share of the population over to, is nothing that sends even a single tear to my eyes. They say pain is the best of teachers. Maybe he learns something from the experience. People are no lab rats.

Hardly SB, The virus will burn through the worlds population no matter what anyone can realstically do.
You cant lock everyone down for 2 years until it dies or debt burdened economies die (and that will kill many more people than the virus) the Lock down messures only slow it down /delay the spread, to make it more managable, they do not prevent it from existing. You can lock down all your borders and put everyone in isolation, as soon as you lift them you will still have a pandemic. Borris's intial 'let it burn' was stupid because it the NHS that would 'burn' in this case, not the amount of people who will go on to die from the virus which proabably wont change too much, you just maybe buy some of them a bit more time. Lock down or not -you go to ICU on ventilation, there's a 4 out 5 chance you are not coming out alive. Last edited by JU_88; 04-09-20 at 04:15 AM. |

Boris Johnson’s health continues to improve in hospital, Downing Street has said after the PM spent his third night in intensive care.
A No 10 spokesman describe the prime minister as being in “good spirits” as he continues to receive care in St Thomas’ Hospital, London.
