Writing on Twitter, Alexandra Phillips, a former Brexit Party MEP who once worked as Nigel Farage's media adviser, said:
"Dear Ed Davey, The police have better things to do, you sad little man. Getting an officer to go to Nigel's house to tell him he shouldn't have gone to the pub is a total waste of resources and makes you look like a pathetic, attention-seeking twerp."
Private Eye | Political TikTok: Viral overload
A FORTNIGHT into the general election campaign, the big political poster ads – demon eyes, snaking dole queues, etc – are notable by their absence. Political advertising went online long ago – first to Facebook, Google and Twitter, but now Instagram and TikTok are the battlegrounds.

ANOTHER FINE HANCOCK-UP: The health secretary achieves another digital triumph with his app for NHS volunteers
I signed up for this. Two thousand hours, one task to sort out a prescription, on the phone, for a girl in the village. Meanwhile, her father was working on their house.Private Eye | Political TikTok: Viral overload

The app, the system, the people in charge are all totally ******* useless. I’m still receiving bullshit emails telling me how fantastic the system is and that any day now the tasks will start to come in. I’ve been promised this for weeks
Stop it, I’m not so stupid that I don’t believe the evidence of my own eyes. The tasks aren’t coming through, the system does not work. The bitch-clown running the RVS is on £100K+ ffs. Unless you take charge yourself, everything, literally everything is a total clusterfuck in this country. It’s very rare to find a competent person anywhere, and when you do, they are usually Polish.
Well look on the bright side at least their not French
I’m sure there are many very competent French people, it’s just the fact they are treacherous, snide and untrustworthy that creates the problems.Well look on the bright side at least their not French
If the failed Boris Bridge website cost 161K then dread to think of the cost of the centrally organised volunteer IT project (along with the track & trace app). Locally it seemed community groups that self organised around councillors and other committed individuals that helped plug the gap on the ground.I signed up for this.

'Crystal clear' drunk people can't socially distance, say police in England

I followed another volunteer approach (as the main one was so quickly over-subscribed). Still waiting to hear anything at all.
Probably then friends and relatives helped a big proportion of shielding folk - I've friends who looked after elderly neighbours - did their shopping etc. Also then home delivery of shopping, meds and pizza! alleviated need for many to leave home or call for assistance.
Interesting here article here on Leicester / Bradford and Cummings recent contribution.
Prof John Wright, a doctor and epidemiologist, is head of the Bradford Institute for Health Research, and a veteran of cholera, HIV and Ebola epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa. He is writing this diary for BBC News and recording from the hospital wards for BBC Radio
Crucially, when we look at temporal trends, our cases are falling. We can see spikes over the last three months - perhaps related to socialising from VE Day and Eid. We call the longest, recent spike the Cummings Curve as it follows the widely publicised transgressions of the prime minister's adviser, which led the news at the end of May.
Accident and Emergency consultant Dr David Greenhorn, who had to treat people who got into fights at VE Day parties, is braced for the same this weekend after the reopening of pubs, and predicts a new spike in Covid admissions in 10 days' time. This, he thinks, could result in a new lockdown - and it's only a second lockdown, in his view, that will teach people the importance of social distancing.
What a roller coaster and no wonder Boris stopped daily press briefings and questions.
Goodness where we'll be in Sept when schoools are meant to be fully open,.

Coronavirus doctor's diary: Bradford worries about the whack-a-mole mallet
Bradford is second in the UK's Covid-19 league table, says Dr John Wright, because it's a table of inequality.

Just like the US Americans, the Arabs, the Orientals, the Italians, the South Americans, the Russians, the Israelis, the Central Americans, the Eastern Europeans, the Afghanis, the EU.
What a blessing we are free from them all now and able to decay into oblivion, content in our own perfection.

What lady gaga would call a bad romance, huh? Look, the fact that one Parisian girl didn't mean what she said over that beaujolais (and god knows we've all been there) doesnt mean none of them mean it. I've met some perfectly trustworthy (if somewhat more portly) girls down in burgundy. Perhaps you should try there next time?
Do you remember the Carer badge? Handcock launched it about the time they were doing roughly 1000 / day in care homes and staff were getting ill because the promised PPE from Turkey, which turned out to be the wrong PPE, hadn’t been ordered and the Turks knew nothing about it. I wonder how many wear that badge of shite with honour?
Not many at £1.20 a pop, and minimum order of 100.
I suspect that the procurement side of the many organisations involved in caring had more important things to be ordering than effing badges.
Does anyone know what happened to all that Turkish PPE equipment that turned out to be sub standard, did it ever get here and did we get our money back I wonder ?
Why Did the UK Have Such a Bad Covid-19 Epidemic?
The question is answered by an excellent edition of the BBC Radio 4 program "More or Less", which goes through the whole saga from January to the present, painfully detailing in sequence every mistake by the government throughout.
It will be online for at least a year, making it a valuable reference record of the whole unhappy affair.
Lasting just 28 minutes, you can listen to it on this link on the BBC i-player
