Govt trying to give Brexit credit for German vaccine approval under EU law. [Support us: patreon.com/scientistsforeu] pscp.tv/w/cpZNnDFtTUVQ…
Also, note this:

The EMA started a rolling review of preliminary data from Pfizer trials on Oct. 6. The MHRA (UK regulator) launched its own rolling review on Oct. 30 -- and analysed less data than made available to the EMA.

Very well-written article.

The most compelling line in here is: "two wrongs don't make a right".

To win the 20% who were No in '14, Remain in '16 & Yes now, there'd need to be a public admission that Brexit was bad, a path back to Europe's family, and Labour to champion Union.
I’m partly posting this to sample the reactions from Scottish colleagues.

I’d find it really hard to tell a Scot that they should go through with Brexit with England, when that goes against their vote and they’ve been allowed no moderation of it.

Also...
How can any Brexiteer have the gall to tell the Scots to stay in a Union - and make that argument utilising all the rationales that they themselves rejected?

It’s a level of sheer hypocrisy that’s asking to be punished.

Exactly two weeks ago (Oct 17), I taked with @clivebull on LBC.

I said Tiers weren’t working, there should be a circuit-breaker until mid/end Nov to gather back control. Then you’re in position in Dec for an Xmas plan.

Exactly what Govt now doing... but painfully late. Excerpt:
I mean, it’s pretty obvious. This isn’t exactly Nostradamus stuff.

However, that’s the whole point.

Boris Johnson said “a stitch in time saves nine” then provided no stitch as all the scientific advice and rules of sensible management were screaming for simple foresight here.
So what are the issues now?

Obviously, fix t&t, make it local.

But also we need to clear the backlogs of cancer & other time-critical patients, diagnostic screening etc. These backlogs are a product of covid, not lockdown & we need to get on top of them while there’s a window.

I like @Keir_Starmer, but this is cringe.

He’s v good at questioning (PMQs) but bad at answers (interviews).

A lot of this should be thoroughly pre-prepped stuff that he can knock out of the park.

Here’s how he should have answered, imo... [Thread]

“Is it time for a national lockdown?”

- No. But this govt have a very tight time window to sort out the testing.

“Is £10K fine for breaking self isolation too draconian?”

- Yes. Firstly there’s a risk that it scares people off getting a test. Who can afford £10K? Secondly...
...are you really going to let Cummings off the hook for breaking self-isolation, then drag the public through the courts in a pandemic over huge fines they can’t pay, for doing the same?

“Captain Hindsight”

- The PM needs a big dose of hindsight. Then perhaps he won’t keep...

This is ironic.

The EU think UK govt is so incompetent & shambolic that they need a deal just to show basic competence.

However, the UK govt is so incompetent & shambolic that they think they might as well add Brexit mishandling to their pandemic mishandling.

THREAD
The problem is this:

1) Whereas covid-19 damage is a general economic hit, No Deal Brexit screws with people’s lives in very direct tangible ways. Like the A-level fiasco, it’s personal hurt directly attributed to govt.

No-one will assoc new red tape they hate with covid-19.
In fact, when people have to pay insurance companies to travel, get new driving licences/ pet passports, go through painful Home Office regs for EU hires, do customs forms for small orders, see lorry parks...

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.
