Can't argue with that. There's no need to go blag it and even if they try they'll always get caught out. They're getting criticised either way so better to fight out head on.

All the anecdotal evidence I've heard is that everything is being recorded as covid19.
*edit* just seen the excess death figures. So the next question: is there any evidence that it's been gerrymandered for the benefit of the government?
I'm a bit late to the party in this thread and CBA to read the whole thing.
I'm not convinced PMQs makes that much difference. Most people don't watch it, all they see is the clips and soundbytes.
William Hague used to regularly trounce Blair at PMQs but it got him nowhere near at the ballot box.
