    Of course it's Laura Kuenssberg that breaks the story. She was probably under the sheets with him when she heard him cough.

    I trust that guy so little i'd like to see the test results. I guess if he stays in the same place as his pregnant partner it'll give an indication.

    I mean.. He's probably going to be fine. Bloated carcass that he is, it's probably hard to kill the dead.

    Spoke to our Barclays Relationship manager. No loan on offer. He recommended us refusing to pay our suppliers and apply for grants . Passed this on to the MP. Expect the banks to get a roasting from the top in a few days.

    Please mail your MP get them sending the pressure up the chain. The government is financing them at 0.1% no effing good unless they get some liquidity into the economy.

    My MP... do things? lol...

    He's probably holed up with his hand made Corbyn waifu pillow waiting for all the nasty people to go away.

    Usually I'd recommend a handwritten letter so you stand out from the flood of emails MPs get... but in the current situation they would probably deploy a flamethrower if a letter arrived lol.

    Don't forget the "Say No To XYZ" campaigns. Yeah because saying no to it is going to stop it.

    Any quants here want to take the published mortality rate per age group, apply them to each cabinet member, combine it to the "population" of the cabinet to work out what the odds are of a cabinet death?

    Yeah, but only to make sure future legislation doesn't accidentally shore up any loopholes the banks are wriggling through.
