@Baddiel This, 100%. Also, when his wife phoned him at No. 10, saying she thought she had Covid-19 and he dashed home, why did he then go back to work a few hours later. Was this not 100% in contradiction of the rules at the time?

@RupertLowe10 @DefundBBC If Lineker’s salary was reduced to £160k (not bad for a part-time job) the saving would fund TV licenses for 10,000 over-75s. And if he refused the pay cut, I’m sure one of the talented local BBC journalists in redundancy consultation at the moment would do the job for £160k!

@afneil Think of it this way. Most of the cost of renewables is upfront - they need maintenance, but there is no fuel cost. So if a developer is going to commit capital upfront, they need certainty of an adequate return - which can only be provided by a commercial contract or a subsidy

@BBCSport @danroan The extent to which some managers are complaining at the moment is absurd. Everyone is being asked to make (sometimes huge) adjustments to their work and life routines. Being asked to play a football match with over 48 hours notice is not a big deal!

@henrywinter @danjhargraves In other areas of life you would avoid people who had displayed this level of incompetence, and avoid using them wherever possible. I don’t know if Mike Dean is incompetent or biased, but I think the club is totally justified in asking that he is kept away
