While we'd all like change, they'll never win a GE so she'll not become PM anytime soon.

She can't. She's no longer an mp.. Change UK was disbanded and she lost her seat.Anna Soubry
Program about Tove Jansson on the radio today. I didn't catch it all. Don't forget the Snorks.Or perhaps like Churchill, the public will reject Boris in peacetime? He'll be blithering about Moomins or somesuch, as soon as it gets quiet...
Technically, I'm not sure that a PM absolutely has to be an MP. Maybe things have changes since Lord Salisbury?She can't. She's no longer an mp.. Change UK was disbanded and she lost her seat.
True. The most recent was Alec Douglas-Home who was brought from the House of Lords to be Tory PM from 1963 to 1964, succeeding Harold Macmillan.Technically, I'm not sure that a PM absolutely has to be an MP. Maybe things have changes since Lord Salisbury?
Does that mean we can elect OG as PM and Flecc as his deputy..??? We might get some improvements.. I, m sure we could persuade Danidl to play Cummings role..Technically, I'm not sure that a PM absolutely has to be an MP. Maybe things have changes since Lord Salisbury?

Several weeks ago, I predicted that hospitalisations would become high enough for the government to consider a lockdown before Christmas, but I was wrong... Maybe the "Sight" of such a comprehensively ugly set of mutations, will spur T-cells to recognise and remember Omicron and it's ilk for longer, leading to a cessation of the wave in mid-January.Yep, I think we, ve all read that forecast... Its the accepted wisdom of current thinking... Let's wait and see what happens.
And I think rather than Omicron being weaker(which by reports it is for infecting lungs) it's more a case of us being better prepared physiologically, either through past infection or vaccines.
It's widely publicised SA has past Delta infection rates around 72% and with vaccine rates around 25%...That is being put forward as an explanation to their low Omicron hospitalisation and death rates. I suspect our high vaccination rates, especially so with 3rd shot (and immuno suppressed now being called for their 4th),coupled with Omicron less virilence towards the lungs will see us with similarly low hospitalisations, even with high infection rates.
Boris will claim that's his booster programme, SA will tell us "we told you"...
Boris could easily end up more popular than ever... Let's wait and see... Nobody actually knows...
But don't write Boris off... Its at least 3 years to an election. He is a clever, slippery character and may well have timed his "emergency*announcement to perfection. (an emergency announcement needed to say we are doing feck all, rather odd or is it manouvering. I suspect the latter with Witty being able to almost contradict Boris. It's all for a reason.They know something we do not.)
And, amazingly, the Guardian hasn't seen through it. They are pushing "still no hard evidence Omicron is milder". That is playing straight into Boris' hands. There is evidence it is milder to lungs. Quite a lot, but for the Tory rouse to work we all have to be convinced Omicron poses far more danger. (which, it might but I somehow doubt it)... The more frightening we assume Omicron is, the more kudos Tories and specifically Boris will get, when, well, its bad, but not that bad, because Boris' boosters saved the day. (They did over a million yesterday)
I just watched the latest vid from Dr. John Campbell, all the data coming out of SA regarding the Omicron variant is still very encouraging. They are several weeks ahead of us with this new version and they are seeing far less hospitalizations than they did with pervious waves.SA hospitalisation rate falls 91% in Omicron wave
Compared with the same week of the third wave.www.moneyweb.co.za
That worked out well, didn't it?True. The most recent was Alec Douglas-Home who was brought from the House of Lords to be Tory PM from 1963 to 1964, succeeding Harold Macmillan.
There have been a number of others in earlier years.

Well, it didn't kill me. 'Twas a mere faint twinge, but I didn't like the feel... I decided to stop dead, in case I stopped dead.That worked out well, didn't it?
Did you miss my quote?Well, it didn't kill me. 'Twas a mere faint twinge, but I didn't like the feel...
My reply was to flecc re AD-H.
Lol, I had no idea what was going on, I can't see Flecc's reflections.My reply was to flecc re AD-H.
I might have said exactly the same to you, but it wasn't intended.
The Alec Douglas Home one I think..??Lol, I had no idea what was going on, I can't see Flecc's reflections.
