what you want to know, and I will try to put as many questions as I can to our experts
It's "Johan" Lundgren of Easyjet. Sorry. Weird autocorrect

.@michaelgove said just now that the difficulty in increasing number of #COVID19 tests was due to a shortage of the relevant "chemcial reagents". Well I've just talked to the Chemical Industries Association, which represents the UK's very substantial chemicals industry. It...
has contacted its members, and they've said there is no shortage of the relevant reagents. So the Association has now been in touch with @michaelgove's office to find out what he means, because it is stumped. The Association also points out there was an industry chat with...
a business minister today, who made no attempt to find out if there was a supply problem for the vital ingredients of Covid19 testing kits. So this question of why there aren't enough tests for the virus is an even bigger mystery. Also, if it turns out there is a shortage...

My jaw slightly dropped yesterday when @michaelgove announced that the number of #Covid19 cases in the UK was now doubling every three to four days. This is significantly faster than the five days that was initially built into the government's forecasts for the rate of...

I have had lots of anxious messages from people who've lost all work due to #Covid19 and fear they qualify neither for the grants to the self employed or the subsidies to companies that will pay 80% of the wages of those who are furloughed or kept on the books and rested. Many...
of these are placed by agencies on a temporary basis into schools as supply teachers, or into many other businesses and services on a short-term basis. They pay PAYE and so are not self-employed, but don't feel conventionally "employed". I have put their concerns to the...
Treasury which tells me that the agencies who manage their pay can put them on furlough and claim the subsidies of up to £2500 a month on their behalf. So they should put pressure on these agencies to do this for them. This should help some of them. But some...

“Friend,

Even before the State of the Union Address, Cryin’ Chuck and Democrats criticized President Trump’s speech.

During his historic State of the Union Address he had a very clear message for Democrats like Cryin’ Chuck, who only obstruct:”
“‘Victory is not winning for our party, victory is winning for our country.’

It’s called AMERICA FIRST!

Here are some of the highlights from last night’s historic State of the Union Address:”

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
