After we decided digital voting is not for us, we went with this (thread)
In short, while this system seems to protect MPs somewhat from the coronavirus, if it ever rains, we’ll lose them to the common cold.
If only there were a technology that would allow us to avoid this sort of thing. Sadly. No. There isn’t. We’ll have to wait for it to be invented

As the discussion about Nissan and the effect of Brexit on its Sunderland plant rages on, maybe some dispassionate commentary is warranted. Note that this is not any different from what I wrote years ago, so tune out if you want to (thread)
The discussion is about consequences of a no-deal situation, so the question: what happens to the car industry (and many others) if there is NO FTA between the EU and the UK.
Both the EU and the UK will have to charge their so-called “MFN Tariffs” on goods imported from the other side. For cars - that means 10% both for the EU and the UK

JHU has changed its graph for Coronavirus deaths / 100,000 population.
I presume Belgium and Spain were taken out to be more representative globally.

An interesting issue that has always fascinated me: party discipline v. individual responsibility. What rule can we give for the two? Clearly in some cases you will vote with your party against your judgment. That comes with the turf. When should you not do so? (Thread)
1) When it is unethical. 2) But also when you find the policy entirely indefensible. According to my rule of thumb that means I would disagree with this vote given his position.
However, I respect making the issue so explicit. Thanks @SteveBakerHW
