After two and a half years, I’ve finally tested positive for covid. May I be the x millionth person on here to say how horrid it is
Symptoms: day 1, Sunday, felt very tired and leg muscles ached (thought this was because I’d mown the lawn, lol) then upset stomach in evening. Day 2, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, headache, loss of appetite/nausea. Could barely move off sofa. However test was negative 🤷🏼‍♀️
Day 3, today, felt bit better, still low appetite, tested positive. Lack of appetite and headache are the worst today. Very tired. Bit of a cough. I had my booster shot in December so I guess that’s waned a bit. But thank goodness for vaccines. Also thank goodness for #Wimbledon

Boris Johnson RESIGNS
timetable will be agreed next week
"The herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves. My friends, in politics no one is remotely indispensable and our brilliant and Darwinian system will produce another leader equally committed to taking this country forward."

Slightly surreal moment when Huw Merriman, the chairman of the transport select committee, tells the PM he wants to talk about "transport policy delivery"
aha!
Top marks to Darren Jones, Labour chair of BEIS committee, asking how the PM's week is going: "Terrific. Like many others." Jones: "Did Michael Gove come and tell you to resign today?" PM says he's agreed with the chairman Bernard Jenkin he won't discuss this.

NEW: I've done an analysis of every time No10 announced a phone call between Boris Johnson and President Zelensky and it's amazing how many have coincided with his worst crises (full disclosure, No10 have told me this thesis is "ludicrous") inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
So while it may be completely coincidental/just fancy that, here are some dates: 15 June: 6.58pm Lord Geidt resigns / 7.48pm No10 announces PM has had a call with Zelensky
6 June: 8.10am Graham Brady announces confidence vote from MPs / 11.50am PM call with Zelensky announced
19 May: Met probe ends with 126 fines and No10 most fined UK location / 1.21pm PM call with Zelensky announced
5 May: Interest rates go up to 1% to highest level in 13 years/local elections take place with defeats for Tories expected / 3.54pm PM call with Zelensky announced

Keir Starmer accuses PM of wanting “the country to grind to a halt so he can feed off the division” #PMQs #strikes
Starmer says PM “thinks he’s on #LoveIsland … contestants that give the public the ick get booted out” #pmqs
(I should add in the interests of accuracy that contestants give each other the ick, but never mind)

Speaking very personally, I am appalled at this case and the way the victim, who was failed by the SNP's own informal investigation, was then implicitly criticised by the Commons investigators for going public about his ordeal. Details in this thread below
My heart goes out to the victim, whose ordeal was in 2016 yet had to wait until today for the outcome. Once again, another MP receives a two-day sanction for a serious breach of the Commons' harassment and bullying policies
But what concerns me is that this case sends a message to victims of harassment by MPs that they must not talk about it publicly. It's as if #MeToo, which laid the groundwork for the very system that investigated this case, never happened.

The government's daily dashboard will no longer be updated at weekends from this week as part of plans to "live with the virus" @theipaper inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
This is major news for dashboard fans like myself. I interviewed covid dashboard heroes @statsgeekclare and @Pouriaaa a year ago about what exactly goes into the daily update. Pouria said at the time, it will be there for as long as it is needed: inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
Whoops - that piece on behind the scenes of the covid dashboard is here: inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
