⚰️⚰️ 197 (60 day) deaths
⚰️ 135 (28 day deaths) ⬆️ 12% on a rolling 7 day average

🦠 44985 cases (by report date)

BUT we cases by SWAB date indicate we had
56,584 on MONDAY - cases added today AND
51,026 on TUESDAY

And WEDNESDAY heading in the same direction (process lag)
Deaths are ⬆️ 12% on a rolling 7 day average and

🏥 Admissions now over 1k in a day. 1065 ⬆️ 19.1% on 7 day avg.

Nearly 900 in ventilator beds

Over 8,200 In patients.

Wrong direction

And over 60s case rise suggests we could see higher++ admissions in the next week or so.
Positivity levels are still stuck on 16th October.

So England still on 9.3% & Cheltenham still on 17.1% (despite 1 day depressed due to the the Immensa SUI )

But comparing yesterday ⬅️ with today ➡️ it is clear that plenty of cases are still being added to 17th October.
Bloody hell #ImmensaLab fallout.

Aggravated by appalling advice for schools from this negligent government
Parents 45-49yr age group in Cheltenham also horribly high.

1473/100k

The 40-45 age group a bit less at nearly 1300/100k.
Graph from @ProfColinDavis shows what the Immensa Lab has delivered to my town that has done so well through the pandemic - apart from two particular peaks.

Cheltenham races.

Then January.
H/t @Syn0nymph for the flag on this. England only deaths.

We have three nations to add to the deaths.

So a bad day.

What is “Deliverism”?

It is the argument that simply “governing well using all levers available”, as Stoller put it in the first half of Biden’s presidency, does not necessarily translate into popular gratitude or political success.”
“They cite the Inflation Reduction Act, the president’s $500 billion green energy strategy, the American Rescue Plan Act, which helped to lift 2mill children out of poverty, & the US’s generally dynamic economy as achievements to which the public responded with a collective shrug
Politico described Stoller’s diagnosis as “good policies no one understands”. Obamacare had similar results.”

There has to be a continual storytelling which connects to people’s day to day realities.

Their ability to do the weekly shop without grinding anxiety.
Potholes!

I’ve been thinking about the broad but shallow majority Labour has and what it means

1/. It is the result not just of a profound disgust at Tory political behaviour even from their own traditional voters but also of a highly intelligent and organised electoral strategy.
2/. It is pretty obvious that Lab and Lib Dem struck some sort of non aggression pact in a large number of seats to their mutual benefit. It took a lot of the poison out of tactical voting that we saw in 2017 and in 2019 in particular. So did the change in leadership.
As @Samfr pointed out : the seats where there was no such non-aggression pact and the opposition was split, this resulted in saving MPs such as Braverman & Mel Stride

In just 42 seats in England and Wales was the Tory vote bigger than the combined Lab/Lib one.

That’s not the brilliant deal it sounds.

They don’t tax your state pension. But your state pension is added to any other income you have and that IS taxed…(basically treating your state pension as part of your normal personal allowance (PA). Not enough to meet the PA limit.
So the personal allowance is £12570.

7 out of 8 pensioners do not GET the full new state pension. Most are on the old state pension (or less) of c £8,800 pa.

So that arrives untaxed.
However that does accrue so that if you have any additional income once it reaches the £12,570 threshold (inc your state pension) THOSE income sources as taxed as normal…as they should be

Even on the NEW full state pension you are way off the PA still.

We’re just pausing over tea to discuss the location of the DC solar panel isolation switches as the loft is not a good location for me up a wobbly loft ladder and very awkward loft hatch

They are going in the spare bedroom cupboard so easy for me to get to
The team is absolutely lovely.

Tomorrow the roofing panel team will arrive: James and Rhys who have both been doing this for 4 years.

James is ex military

Rob and Andy (electricians and survey team)

Geoff (sales consultant) has been in solar for years.

Just thinking about my young Ukrainian Refugee today.

Two years ago today she was awoken by her brother in law, a customs official, telling her to get out of Kyiv straight away. Forget her home and job there. The Russians were invading.

She left to go to her parents
So did her sister and her two young children. To a tiny village in the Poltava Region. All living together in their parents house.

What must it have been like for her? Realising that the war was not going to be over quickly and her lost home and lost job were now her reality
Meanwhile her cousins were fighting at the front. The loss of life and destruction of property all too real and the grim stories of torture, rape and deportation of children growing louder.

Suddenly having to take off to a foreign country she had never visited to survive

Just watching #Breathtaking @ITV and that mixture of anguish, fear and grief just keeps coming back in waves.

The abuse of doctors, nurses and front line staff

The lying

The lying.

Oh God the lying.
The lying

All those PPE procurement cases were not just about cronyism and corruption.

It was about the health & protection of medical and front line staff. Life and death.
Not a drama.

Real people. Real sickness. Real deaths.

Real heartbreak

Real brain break. PTSD.

Real #LongCovid
