    A wonderful account of how the bubonic plague may have helped solve the problem of gravity. Thank you

    It is August 1665. Bubonic plague is raging in London. So great is the dread that, in Cambridge, the university is closed. A 22-year-old, unknown, unremarkable, makes the trek by foot, by horse-drawn cart, back to his family farm...

    So, Boris Johnson’s right hand man Dominic Cummings broke lockdown to go to his parents’ house 100s of miles away... AS HE SELF-ISOLATED WITH CORONAVIRUS SYMPTOMS. Fire him tonight Prime Minister ⁦⁩ - or why should anybody heed your lockdown rules?

    So, it would be dangerous for you or I to be exposed to fruit pickers but it is fine for fruit pickers to be exposed to other fruit pickers? Has a British Government ever before legislated for lower safety standards for poorer foreigners?

    You know, or at least should know, the purpose of Hugh Grant's marmalade video. It was to cheer up a small boy who has cancer. Do you people have to turn everything into a binary culture war and political tribal conflict?

    To show public MPs are working & ‘leading from the front’ I will have a 8 hour drive and then have to queue for an estimated hour each vote, rather than following guidance - working from home & voting remotely. So my constituents lose 9 hours of my time for JRM PR exercise🤷🏻‍♀️

    My job is serving my constituents, not driving down the M1 and then standing in a queue to vote. I can vote remotely and thus free up 9 hours to help people who need it.

    It's your job.

    An earlier lockdown would have saved lives (and money). No hindsight is needed. We locked down on March 12th, by which time it was obvious to me what was coming.
