Is there one rule for us and one for them?
How can he say, with a straight face that he is not isolating?
I can imagine people up and down the land choking on their breakfast. The audacity! This could lead to real social unrest.
He could pass this on to anyone who works at No10. Has he no common sense or decency?
I cannot believe when I read that he is so popular. Why?

I liked Gove until I read that piece by his wife. Had high hopes for Matty, but power has gone to his head too.

@Joesoap. No politician or scientific adviser has ever claimed that the vaccine stopped you from getting Covid. The whole point was that once the majority of the population is vaccinated, the transmission rate is much lower and the symptoms much milder, thus easing the pressure on the NHS by breaking the link between infection and hospitalisation. I’m CEV and had Covid in February - am now double vaccinated and I tested positive a couple of weeks ago, resulting in very mild symptoms, so obviously the vaccines work the way they are supposed to.

Bring back Kenneth Clarke, he’d be the man for the job I think.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m very impressed with David Davis these days.

He's a dinosaur though.

Sparklefizz I’m not a Tory voter, but I respect him. He has principles, integrity and a brain. That’s what is needed.
