The papers are having a go at Sturgeon again
Odd that they claim to be keen on independence of nations
But not Scotland or Wales!

The Tories and their papers are scared of Nicola Sturgeon, now she's become the most influential and successful politician in the UK with Boris Johnson's decline.

After my comment to soundwave thought I, d check figures...???
Admissions for covid up slightly, number in hospital remaining fairly constant, same for those on mechanical ventilation.
Fingers crossed.. But early days I suppose. Would have thought all 3 would be on a steep gradient by now..??
Admissions.
In hospital
On MV
Over past month..??
And on the Boris front.
Suspect if he gets through to spring without lockdown(which I suspect he'll try and do having seen above stats) and we are seen to have coped OK (for whatever reason?) Tories will insist booster policy and not locking down were way to go... Boris will survive, parties and the likes will be forgotten and he will lead them in next election.
On other hand if we lockdown, still get thousands more deaths he will be gone soon.
His only route to saviour is not locking down and booster/vaccine working.
Said it before but I wouldn't want their jobs at any price.
Cautious good news.

Is there any good news at all on Omicron? Yes, there are small signs of hope
Analysis: scientists are only starting to understand new Covid mutation but there is encouraging news from the laboratory, South Africa and on antiviral drugs

It’s early days. The very first U.K. Omicron case was only discovered three weeks ago. A substantial rate of infection, only a few days ago. This has yet to feed into hospitalisation and then deaths. If it’s going to happen, it will be after Christmas and the New Year.
What we do today, will be paid back with bodies in about 4-5 weeks time. What we don’t know is how much Omicron charges. It might be very reasonable or it might be very expensive. I’d like us to pause until we know the tariff. I’m uneasy about buying stuff before I understand the costs involved.

There were 451,770 deaths registered in England and 29,462 in Wales during the first ten months (January to October) of 2021.
To gain a better idea of year-to-year differences in mortality rates, we calculated year-to-date age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) based on deaths registered in January to October of each year from 2001 to 2021 (Figure 5). For England, the year-to-date ASMR for 2021 was 973.9 deaths per 100,000 people, which was statistically significantly lower than the same period in 2020 (1,030.5 deaths per 100,000 people). However, when compared with the same period in 2019 (912.2 deaths per 100,000 people), the 2021 year-to-date mortality rate was significantly higher

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss to take over Brexit brief after Lord Frost's resignation
Liz Truss only became foreign secretary as part of Boris Johnson's major cabinet reshuffle in September, taking over from Dominic Raab. She had been international trade secretary before that, with post-Brexit deals the focus of her brief.

I'd already seen that previously but it's not relevant. I was posting London data.

It's fine. Don't take this personally, but with boris track record on the pandemic (of waiting, delaying lockdowns until its too late), his doing so - again - while in the last chance saloon has about as much chance as liz-i cant-find-my-arse-with-both-hands-truss have of making brexit work. Regardless of how many fingers you cross
