Sure you can get them in time for summer..

..2029.

Are we even going back in time to 'Last Post Wins'? :)

\\\\\'Last Post Wins'

But haven't you had a cold for like 7 years?

This has made my evening, I won’t get my hopes up but fingers crossed his job moves to the RIP thread tomorrow.

RIP his job

Newsnight shredding Cummings, can only imagine the glee at the Mirror and Guardian when they landed this story

Ah, you might want to make that clearer.

If Gollummings resigns, he'll either continue to effectively do his 'job' in secret and/or he'll be back soon.

He has said he won't resign and as Boris is absent I guess he'll let it blow over

Nice to see France reciprocating quaratine on us....

I doubt he'll resign, too, but let's see if someone mounts an effective campaign.

Shame (and convenient timing) there is no PMQ's this coming week.

They'll feature in the lfgss book then...

If Cummings dose ride this out, and I wouldn't bet on it, he will be very damaged goods with lots of enemies, the crud starts to mount up.

Sorry for a dredge from a few pages ago. Ed, this is definitely going to make me sound totally ignorant and I'm just trying to fill in that ignorance. Why is it important to have a sign language interpreter in that situation as opposed to using closed captioning?

Because some people will not be able to read but can learn hand signals following accidents to the head etc.

Yes, some people's first language is a sign language (usually British Sign Language in Britain). Some Deaf people have poor ability in aural languages, even if written down. Aural language is very, very hard to learn if you're profoundly d/Deaf.

More spitting incidents, mainly one in which there is a suspicion a cab driver, Trevor Belle, may have died as a result of it, and another one in which a passenger spat at a fellow passenger:

It's acknowledged that he may have contracted COVID-19 elsewhere, but it's still disgusting.
