Look at this behaviour by @bbclaurak.

- Firstly she subtweets @PippaCrerar’s story to undermine it.

- Secondly she comments on the story to undermine it.

Based on? Anonymous “source” in Gov who feeds her lines.

This isn’t responsible public journalism- it’s working for No10.
It’s very telling that Kuenssberg went into attack/rebuttal mode so quickly after that tweet went out.

She clearly 1) has hotline & 2) wants to support Gov.

Would she engage in such rapid-rebuttal behaviour for the Labour/LD/SNP/Green leader?

Time to question BBC impartiality.

Great little piece in @YorksBylines on how Laura Kuessnberg immediately lept to Cummings' defense with info from an anonymous "source" before full details were known.

I've read your report.

It's utterly bogus. The lion's share (£176bn) of your £380bn comes from, according to your own report - instantly slashing "Working Time Directive, Climate Change and Renewable Package" etc - with £132bn coming from instant FTAs.

- the report's a joke.
If anyone else wants to read the hot, delusional fantasy mess that is this report, here it is:

The authors are also claiming that their polling data show Brits don't want an extension, whereas their own data show more Brits than not think it beneficial:
Further, the report sings up the benefit of trading on WTO rules (25 mentions in doc) - without a single mention that the WTO is utterly broken, in financial trouble, chief just resigned, US pulling out & with no capacity left to enforce said rules.

What the...? This gibberish is reminiscent of Trump’s bleach & light blatherings.
We now have our explanation:

What Boris Johnson was *trying* to say (in a hurried way)...

... is that Covid-19 can be detected in wastewater (not water supply), meaning that if you monitor wastewater from all towns, you get a clever early indicator of outbreak & can swoop in local lockdown measures.

Know what? I think Govt are going to hit their 100,000 tests mark.

Here's how. First, on April 28, Govt opened up the testing to 65+s (millions of people).

Then next morning at 11am, Hancock emails the Conservative Party membership (124K members, many over 65) to apply.
Why is that email important? Because not a lot of people watching the news the day before would know how to go and apply or take the action...

...emailing a database with a big "Apply Now" button does the trick.

A Conservative Party database will have additional reason to act.
This isn't illegal, of course -- everyone should be notified.

However, did the Govt put similar effort into outreach for care home residents and staff, arguably much more important to test - but who were made egible on the same day?
