Liz Truss has covid…

The Education Minister has it too. Perhaps that might spur him on to do something about mitigation in schools.

I didn't read it as wishing illness on anyone. "Will Boris be at death's door again" sound like a question not a wish to me.

These comments insinuating that Johnson was not really ill when he had Covid are truly sickening because they are yet another underhand swipe at the medical staff at St Thomas's and an insinuation that they were lying about him being ill.

I don't think the staff at St Thomas's ever said anything about how ill Johnson was. That would have been a serious breach of patient confidentiality. I trust they are too professional to have done that.

Look, I have no time for Boris and his cronies either, but I think this unadulterated glee at Truss getting Covid, or Johnson’s baby girl getting it, is quite sickening.
Nobody rubbed their hands in glee when Starmer tested positive (again) , nobody rubbed their hands in glee when my D got it 2 weeks ago despite stringent mask wearing etc in her work as a secondary teacher, and I apportion no blame to my 11 year old GS or 7 year old GD who both had it last week, so why should I think it is OK to be cynical about Johnson having Covid in the early days or regard it as fair game for mockery for anybody else.
Madame Defarge and her fellow tricoteuses would feel quite at home on todays GN.
As for me, I think I need to take a break as I don’t.

They're quite tightly packed in, aren't they Marydoll!

I think that clearly answers the question about who were wearing masks.

The House of Commons today.

Unfortunately a few years of Boris has made some of us incredibly cynical.

Quite so.

I don't wish Covid on anyone and that includes Johnson - in spite of the fact that he refuses to wear a mask when he probably should wear one. Didn't his little daughter contract the virus recently?

But I don't think Kali2 was wishing him ill - just being very cynical. As am I. I believe he was very poorly, but not at 'death's door'. However, did he actually say this himself, or was it the media's dramatic interpretation?

It's hard not to be cynical. Many people now realise that he's an inveterate and unapologetic liar. He's been sacked twice for it. Cynicism about such individuals is quite natural IMO.

If you've ever had dealings with people who fabricate, twist and lie as a matter of course, you learn quickly not to trust anything they say.

I thought Ian Blackford was going to spontaneously combust. Boris is a skinny minnie in comparison.

Here's a thought... perhaps they could have put on masks.

Who ever said they didn’t?
Schadenfreude can be an very ugly emotion.

Weren't they on camera in the HOC maskless?

Sunak had a mask on but think he was the only one though I may have missed others who were too.

Maybe if she wore a mask in parliament to protect others I would sympathise with her. But didn’t Rees Mogg say they didn’t need to wear masks because they all know each other.

Not aimed at you Coastpath but it really is an unfair, underhand criticism of St Thomas's medical staff yet again.

logging off because I say something I will really regret.

ah they will all come down like flies now, so they can hide. Will Boris be at death's door again!

Your sympathy speaks volumes

She only said what most of us are thinking.

Still, it makes a better excuse than a holiday or a fridge.

Wishing illness or misfortune on anybody is unjustified in my book regardless.
Did Keir Starmer have an ulterior motive when he self-isolated all those times, 6, wasn’t it, after being in contact with Covid?

Little bit of paper. Beyond them.

Kali2
ignore her. I share your view.

I was thinking today, whilst at work..why does he never visit medium sized firms, fridges not big enough for his small, fat body to fit in

Does this mean that she won't be able to fly off to the Ukraine and/or Moscow. That would be good. Perhaps Johnson can get another bout (mild - I'm not wishing anything horrible to happen to him) but the thought that he will speak to Putin scares me somewhat.
