Someone who knows what he is talking about, has the grip, and frightens the hell out of the Eu. So resolve NI and help the next 3 countries to disengage from the Eu project.

12% interest on the RecoveryBond is something I would immediatly put money in.
But Keir hasn't quite given that detail. Ah well....... its Festival of Britain time.

Whether Simon Stevens is in post or not is irrelevent. We have got to the stage where virtually anyone who is trained can undertake vaccinations. 14 million people a year get them, and know it is important.The smart thing would be to engineer a combined covid and flu jab as they are similar. And get local cadres of volunteers at £1/ an hour to administer them from every GP practice and chemist.

Well The NHS is a supertanker with a very astute set of commanders. It is too early to determine how effective its pandemic response has been. Two stats, up to 40% of people caught covid in hospital and on average 80,000 were absent on sick leave or shielding during the last 12 months. Given that there are now some 4million waiting for check ups, ops etc there is a pressing need for a smart swift operational response .

Professor Watson has significant diplomatic skills whilst relying on colleagues with different expertise. A case of shutting the stable door.

This is a mystery. The virus is falling sharply in winter. Despite more people traveling and working than previously, more key children in school, only a short time since most over 75s had had one jab. It appears that tests also are reducing.
What is the explanation, is it weakening, has the government changed the data, are people more resistant? The rate of fall across the UK is remarkable.

Goodness a bit of a jumble. Does Carrie really pull the political strings now she is shuffling off to hug leopards? The map is changing and we might return to " back to basics". The lovely Rishi is still in the wings, Govey needs to quickly sort NI, Hancock has overstepped and will mire himself in another tussle with the NHS mafia. Boris has immerged from his Prince Hal days, sleeker and more cunning. The future is in the stars!

Seems very defeatest. Apparently 2 jabs gives up to 85% protection from severe disease.
However you could still get it through close contact in Suffolk or Sicily. So most people will assess their personal risk level.
Unfortunate that Dale has been attacked for being in a priority group, but if you are in the public eye and give out personal information bad things can happen.

A good salesman, short on detail. What has he actually achived in the vaccine roll out and how has he influenced delivery ?
Every year GPs deliver 14 million flu jabs.
Production of both vaccines is kept a secret but actual jabs in arms has ben patchy.
Did the NHS have a contingency plan for bad weather, why have 3 cathedrals been used but not others, why is a national booking system needed, why havent more volunteers been deployed ,why has the army been involved in logistics, how many injections have had to be binned?
So many questions that Zahawi has not answered.
