I would guess he’ll announce an enquiry about Cummings.

Wonder if Cummings has something on these lot, that they defend him at all costs
Now I understand why a week ago they changed the slogan from 'stay at home' to 'stay alert'.

Mmm a hospital in south west has stopped new admissions temporarily this morning due to spike in new covid patients.... is this the possible start of numbers starting to rise again?
I'm sure there will be local / regional spikes all the time in the forseeable future but hopefully the likely fat second wave is still months away.

Hopefully there won't be any big 2nd wave whatsoever.
Exactly as predicted, Boris announces easing of restrictions. Soon. Car showrooms! Swiss Tony will be delighted.
Supermarkets opening in a safe way. They'll be sending Boris a hamper later. Heartwarming product placement. What a wag.
Incidentally, when the press question Boris lately, and ask him if he's still standing by his man, please no more faux outrage from right wingers. I remember how Corbyn was (rightly) persecuted with similar dimbot questions about whether he condemned antisemitism.
Asking dimbot questions to smoke out pilitical hypocrisy is what our media does. Others, later, write articles about it. Some dim, some eviscerating.
I am hoping someone somewhere will write an excoriating piece. Hopefully it will be someone from the nominal right. Hislop, perhaps.
Now there's a thought. I look forward to the new edition of Private Eye.

New infections down markedly today despite fears of social distancing being almost non existent in some places. I really do think this virus is dying out generally.
It’s now limited across many nations, due to a couple of months of social distancing/lockdowns.
My take on this too, just hope there's no massive upswing after the releasing of restrictions and we can all get back to some sort of normality, but I fear we haven't seen the back of this by some way yet.
I suspect there’ll be a lesser second spike when we hit the regular flu/cold season in the autumn. But this time governments across Europe should be ready - care homes, PPE, targeted actions to localised surges in new cases, hopefully effective track and trace.

However though myself and my lady been locked up in her house for last 2 months other than essential shopping, my landlady a care worker herself invited us to a barbeque sat/Sunday providing of course we social distance. Blimey when we got there opened front door she just hugged us both and,well, that was that really. A care worker currently caring for covid patients and threw her arms around us!.
