I'm even handed :D. I've criticised both on specific points, not just one side for the sake of it.

Starmer has a good opportunity to play the statesman through this and really bring Labour back but trying to play dumb when he is clearly a very smart bloke is not the way to do it.

I didn't see the Raab interview this morning so I have stayed away from commenting on that.

Playing dumb? From what I've just heard he's rightly picked the holes in the contradictory guidelines that was produced by the government.

Or do you think Starmer should just stroke Johnsons ego and tell him how great of a job he's doing?

Starmer said he wanted to collaborate. However rather than actually suggesting or supporting anything he wants to be able to play smart and with the wisdom of hindsight say "I told you so." and claim the politicians view of the moral high ground

So you don’t want him to be honest?
Again, it was the Government/boris poor briefing that caused the question to be asked!

I take it you’ve not seen any of the pmq’s? And right now everyone is saying we should be pulling together not creating division, so again, he couldn’t win.

I take it I have, hence my opinion of him...

To add I want a decent Labour Party and leader, this guy ain't it either..

To collaborate you have to be invited prior to decisions being made. By the sounds of some of his ministers this morning they weren't even fully collaborated with. You either get everyone on board beforehand or be prepared to have holes picked in it if it's not water tight.

What a load of rubbish.

Do you understand the whole point of PMQ's?

He's not there to suggest ideas, hes there to question him. He made very valid points and referenced the holes in the literature his office released to Starmer and co.

Boris made a very poor job of communicating the new virus plan yesterday. I dont critise the Government easily but I cant defend them over this, Raab was just as bad this morning. It could have been done so much better with clear and unambiguous information yesterday then the doccument today could have produced the detail.

Reasonably questions getting the necessary answers. Perhaps they both can show how PMQs can proceed in a civil manner.

Yes so would I expect a plan ,but all teachers I know are shocked this has come so early
They want year 2;3;4; and 5 back ASAP two weeks has been touted where do they go then and where do the extra teachers come from.?
Plus teachers are specialists in certain years and maybe might not be able to take year 6 or year 1. Or SEN pupils.
It’s possible some teachers may refuse on health and safety grounds.
If a child vomits what do you do PPE to clean up?
It’s a bit of a mess tbh.

Where do you start though? There's no precedent set and we can't hold back education until we're all vaccinated. Phase 1 and assess.

Not sure vomit is any more of an issue than snot??

Funny how a golf forum hasn't spotted the anomalie in the bit about exercise where it says you can exercise with one person outside your household.

I have emailed my MP and county for clarification on how this could effect golf after last nights statement.
