“Doctor in training”?! So Junior doctors have often been qualified for 10 years or more, before becoming a consultant, for example. Since you have been an MP for 8 years, do you consider yourself an “MP in training”?

Ok, so let me just check - in a show where a life form that is more than a 1000 years old, travels magically through space and time, and regenerates at the drop of a hat…people have a problem suspending disbelief due to the colour of an actor’s skin?

Oh, that’s all right then. If you pass legislation to say it is safe, then it shall be safe. Have you considered how desperate and ridiculous that sounds?

Are there specific capabilities you are looking for in applicants? You know, the standard sort of things: Lying, Dishonest Behaviour, Entitlement Complex, Misogynistic, Demonstrable History of Belittling People, etc. Are these listed on the application form?
@JamesCleverly
Congratulations on pushing the care sector even further into crisis, just to satisfy your desperate need to be seen to be doing something (even though, in reality, it is exactly the wrong thing).

I’m left with the inescapable conclusion that the goal actually IS to whip up hatred and division in order to try and close the gap in the polls. Disgusting use of language.

Victoria Atkinson has clearly never heard of the implications of “Crying Wolf”. You say something over and over again; it is shown to be rubbish, but you keep on saying it anyway. Clearly she has never heard of the term “Going down with the ship” either.

As you know, he wasn’t arrested for carrying a Union Jack (as confirmed by the Metropolitan Police) - you just continue to hijack stories to push your division agenda.

“Oh no, it’s a piece of evidence that I don’t like”, so it’s OK to waffle round it and not answer the question. Cowardly behaviour when it’s people lives we are taking about. Sadly par for the course.

@FirehorseP
It still makes no sense to me that social care is not part of the NHS. I know this would make the NHS even more complex, but would enable solutions to bed blocking and stop letting central government hide behind the “it’s the local council’s problem” excuse.

First, these marks are designed to reduce liquid particles (not gas). Second, there is plenty of evidence that wearing a mask, when you are infected, helps reduce how much of the viral load you spread (true for most respiratory diseases). Much less so that wearing such a mask

For me, this is one of the most heinous parts of the whole debacle. Unforgivable lies about care homes and the elderly, who’re not just a subgroup, but ever one is someone’s parent or grandparent.

Because they don’t, as you well know. Or maybe what you are saying is that the public shouldn’t respect the culture of a political party where white Etonian men given jobs to each other?

Fully jabbed and I would do so again (and yes, I have read the latest evidence of the risks - and still think that it is worth it). Non medically-trained people giving general guidance to the population because they think they know better is a recipe for disaster.

@WeMakeAI
While there is a great role for AI in the NHS (e.g. things like digital pathology), I seriously doubt robotic penguins are the place to start. At a time when the county wants you to resolve the dispute and fix social care, did you really think this PR stunt would be effective?

Given the problems the county and the world are facing right now, do you really think this is what we should all be focusing on?

So just a reminder that 1/3 of those are people who have come to fill jobs we have advertised (I assume you want them to be healthy?). Another 1/3 are students who will go home again (I assume you also want them healthy? Also, by definition, they are not using schools.). A

Please explain how the skin colour of a fictional character changes anything (other than triggering your bias)? If you are arguing “it isn’t the way it was originally”, then perhaps you think all female parts in plays should be performed by men (since this used to be the case).

What will destroy the public’s faith is people spouting lies like this. Illegal immigration (i.e. small boats) represented around 0.04% of net migration lasts year, and he knows it. Desperation is an ugly look.

Still think he is great - and his message is spot on. My response to those that argue against net-zero? It’s about risk. The vast majority (90-95%) of scientists (and around 97% of climate scientists) agree we must drive to net zero. A very small % disagree. Let’s say we follow

@IsabelOakeshott
Do at least report it properly - it is not 3/4 million a year, it was ONE year in which it peaked to this. Also perhaps worth breaking down: 1/3 came here to fill vacancies, 1/3 students (who go home after course), 1/3 all other types. From small boats: 6% of the total.

It’s so good to hear that as an MP in training (8 years) and a bambino-Minister (2 years), the door to your nursery is always open. I am sure this will be a huge comfort to all involved.

The argument of “CO2 is plant food, so what’s the problem” truly shows you haven’t understood the science. Do plants need CO2 and that recent increases of CO2 have made the planet greener: Yes. But all models point to that degrading rapidly as CO2 gets too high - and we already

Such a classy comment. Oh, and you do realise that we are still the 4th largest cumulative emitter of CO2 (after USA,
China and EU) in the world? We have a lot to make up for.
@darrengrimes_
What you forget to mention is that CO2 emissions are cumulative - every single Kg of CO2 the UK has emitted is still up their contributing to climate change. We are the 4th largest cumulative emitter (after USA, EU and China) - so we have a lot of damage to repair.
