The two things are not connected as you well know - lack of PPE is not a financial issue i.e. MPs get £10k so no money for PPE - its the failure of the public sector to get its act together - perhaps if we addressed that issue first?

The health secretary, Matt Hancock, has urged NHS staff not to overuse personal protective equipment, sparking criticism from doctors’ and nurses’ leaders.

“We need everyone to treat PPE like the precious resource it is,” he said on Friday. “Everyone should use the equipment they clinically need, in line with the guidelines: no more and no less.”
F7^ckin shocking - he should resign - now

I went to her funeral to celebrate one of Britain's greatest leaders. London was packed with people paying respect to one of our finest.

Did you wear your beret and medals?

I went to the anti poll tax demonstrations in London . I too found London was packed with our finest. I met nurses, train drivers, miners and loads of public sector workers

Seems the capital is a great place to express ourselves.

Maybe your friends the nurses, train drivers, miners and loads of public sector workers will reconvene to protest against the HS2, upgrades and new railways and improved transport links in/to the north, new hospitals/ levelling in the country.......... when Boris gets back to work.

Pesky Tories

Now who’s being naive, they have spent the money and plenty more. I expect nothing will change under the virus excuse and I doubt it would have anyway.

More likely making sure she was dead.

Do you actually think that any of those things will happen, especially under a Boris Johnson lead government.

As for levelling the country, the only way that will happen is if we all get wiped out by the virus.
The UK has never been and will never be level.

The hole in our finances will be so bloody huge after all this is over, that a roof over your head and enough food to eat may have to be enough for a while.
The deficit will be at a new record high and some taxes, despite promises of no increases, will simply have to rise.

Who knows, we may begin to value some of the lower paid workers and nurses etc, you know, the ones who were shafted during austerity.

As for Thatcher - have a listen to "Tramp the Dirt Down, by Elvis Costello", he summed her up pretty damn well.

The Home Secretary has asked us to get our crayons out and draw handprint pictures with a heart in the middle.
You can even put them in your windows.
It will come as some relief to those prattling on about testing and lack of PPE

I'll give you nurses and miners. But train drivers... Come on!
