Bill 1,788 Posted January 17, 2021 I see the Tories have slipped further behind Labour in the polls as has Johnson against Starmer which is rather odd, as Ricardo is usually so quick off the block with opinion polls perhaps he missed this one 😛 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they think the volunteers and NHS are not capable of delivering ?. This might explain why where I am helping we are capable of administering in excess of 600 vaccinations a day, however we are receiving no more vaccine until next Friday and then only getting four hundred doses. This means in two weeks we will administer four hundred doses over 6 hours, when we could have administered ( based on a 5 day week ) 6000 doses. O well clearly after Brexit we have money to burn, maybe this is the money he was talking about when he said the NHS would receive an additional £350 million a week, just forgot to mention it would be via his mates, rather than directly to the NHS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he engaged him in a game of "Simon says": this is the moment Biden said, "Stick your arm in the air with your thumb up like a prat". Boris lost! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Times: Johnson beats EU rivals to bag Biden call.  It isn't even true. Straight after the election in November Biden phoned Trudeau in Canada first, then several European leaders including Johnson, Merkel and Macron. He may possibly have phoned Johnson again last week, although the picture looks every inch a set-up.  Edited January 24, 2021 by benchwarmer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
