To cure some boredom...dream front pairing from any strikers that have played for us? I’ll go with Black and McDougall. Black was a great frontman and probably the best header of a ball we’ve seen. And for me McDougall was the best finisher we’ve ever had.

The most amazing thing about that steaming pile of horseshit (who gets in their car to test their eyesight) is I think Cummings & co believe that’s the end of it.

Yes I think that's a possibility, but with Durham police now involved BoJo is going to come under huge pressure. I think this could end very badly for BoJo. I suspect Cummings is very capable of taking him down and knows where all the bodies are buried (e.g. Russian report and god knows what else) - and that could be what BoJo was threatened with. What a ridiculous situation to put one man before the rest of the country. It would be funny if this wasn't about a pandemic. Absolutely shocking performance last night from somebody who is supposed to be leading the country through this.

Yep. I just can’t see him surviving, even by this Governments standards, this will run for a while yet. If it reaches PMQs then Starmer will pick the bones out of it no problem. They can’t tell people to self isolate for 7 days, and 14 for the whole household, just to go ahead and do their own thing. It’s amazing BoJo is getting away with sending stooges to face the music every evening.

Now Cummings is caught flouting the governments own rules. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/22/dominic-cummings-durham-trip-coronavirus-lockdown

Apologises for linking to this rag but Michael Stewart is only saying what everybody else is wondering. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/michael-stewart-requests-rangers-explanation-22068418

So what’s happened to Boris - bottled it? Paternity leave? Furloughed?

So I may have missed it but I haven’t seen anything that says the Scottish Cup has been declared null and void yet? Is there still a chance we might play the semi?

Pedants corner: our final points total is 45.

So the government are leaving "Official Sensitive" documents on Google Drive. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/nhs-covid-19-app-health-status-future

Loving Starmer’s forensic approach, it’s perfect for these times, as he’s picking the Government’s approach apart. BoJo definitely on the ropes, the devolved nations have made him look like a right cunt. It wouldn’t be good to see a spike in deaths in 3 weeks, but politically it would be very interesting.

Good, long read: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/29/revealed-the-inside-story-of-uk-covid-19-coronavirus-crisis

I thought Panorama was quite good. Just hope some of the happy clappers watched it. Hancock got a bit arsey about it at today’s Q&A so it obviously hit a nerve.

I do think Gove is preparing to shove BoJo under a bus.

Looks like leaks from inside government so a scapegoat must be getting prepared.
