Face masks don't build confidence in this horrible 'new normal', they destroy it

All of these rules make life so unpleasant that many people will prefer to stay at home

Probably an 8/10 for BoJo. Like the others, held his own. He did better in this than ITV for my money because he didn't just go on about Brexit. We need to stop doing debates with audiences. It's not helpful & just poisons the well, turning it into a row about balance. #bbcqt

We've been doing this since 2010 but the British media still acts like it's never done debates before. It's simple: sit them down for 90 minutes, one moderator, no audience, no questions from the public. Just let them go at it with occasional interventions for clarity. #ITVDebate

Note to the Catholic Church: the Western elite hates you. Hates you. There is no point sucking up, keeping quiet, being polite or reaching out. You just look like cowards and you win nothing.

Having encouraged the lockdown and accused the government of not going far enough sooner, the broadcast media now discovers it must paid for. What will these innocents make of recession?!

What with Brexit, Covid and the BBC Christmas schedule, the case for living off grid in a cabin in the woods is growing.

Well, I've read it, which takes 3 minutes, and it's not going to bring him down. Very "systemic": mistakes were made, yadada, not clear who is responsible. This whole affair has become a bit silly.

Well, this is bruising. I’d vote for the candidate who has the common sense *not* to be interviewed by Andrew Neil.

I end the decade not particularly caring that someone thinks the Lake District is problematic. It's all just a bit silly. These people are talking to themselves. No one cares; the public has consistently refused to think the way they've been instructed.

Priti Patel no longer favours the death penalty. The UK is totally opposed to it and uses the Foreign Office to lobby against it. There is no majority in Parliament to change this; our new PM is also against capital punishment. What a silly storm in a teacup.
