Trump throwing Johnson under the bus at the moment.

Fox News?

Yep, later today he will tell the tide not to come in: Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has laughed off the suggestion that his country should try to stem the spread of the coronavirus, because he can't see the virus "flying around". Speaking to a TV reporter at an indoor ice hockey match, he also claimed that crowds at the match were fine because the coldness of the stadium would prevent the virus from spreading. There is no evidence that this could be the case and the coronavirus cannot be seen with the naked eye. Unlike most of Europe, Belarus has not placed any restrictions on sports events. "There are no viruses here," Mr Lukashenko said. "You haven't seen them flying around, have you? I don't see them either! This is a fridge. Sport, particularly the ice, this fridge here, that's the best antiviral cure!”

He doesn’t need it, the philandering tw*t has probably already got the clap .

Around 3pm. It seems the later you go the less busy it is. Also if you need provisions, the big Sainsbury in Shirley is by far the best stocked in the whole of Solihull.

I went shopping in Solihull yesterday and only had to queue for about five minutes. Depends on the time of day I guess.

One outage of the electricity and it’s all pointless.

They are already spinning it. Both Javid and Hunt have thanked Johnson for his “strong leadership”. Expect to see that exact phrase repeated by every Tory MP when they mention him.

That’s why he wants a corporate slush fund built into the trillion dollar plus financial relief bill going through both houses. His administration can dispense that part of it as they see fit without any supervision of congress i.e. his failing resorts and golf clubs will make more money than they ever have done.

Doesn’t the government announcement tonight mean that he has to close the stores regardless of his wishes?

Well my iPhone only does 4G so I am off out socialising.

“Stasi Stacey does Schlachtensee“. It’s a classic.

Tough as teak, thick as two short planks of it.

Nice to see we are all in it together: Budget airline EasyJet has asked pilots and cabin crew to agree to sweeping changes in their terms and conditions, as part of its response to coronavirus. Among the proposed changes are a freeze on planned pay rises and a requirement to take three months of unpaid leave. The airline would also no longer provide food for crew during their shifts, only water. People close to the talks said the proposals went down very badly, particularly among pilots. However, there remains a willingness to make concessions in order to avoid redundancies. Further talks between EasyJet and unions representing pilots and cabin crew are expected today. Meanwhile, EasyJet's chief executive Johan Lundgren has defended the payment of £170m in dividends to shareholders, at a time when the company is seeking financial help from the government.
