dont get Kaz started pls. She will tell you that number is actually much higher.

Given that excess deaths have been above officially COVID deaths, she'd probably be right.

What a shithouse, sitting on the fence during the biggest crisis in a generation. If you don’t agree with it vote against it. Secretly I think he did but is just acting like a dick.

where's the rest of the MPs?

The SNP abstained as they view it as an English matter so didn’t want to get involved and Labour also abstained as they don’t think the restrictions go far enough(as per SAGE) so didn’t want to vote ‘for’ them but couldn’t vote against them as that would leave the country with no restrictions whatsoever

What are we... 9 months into the pandemic now?! Flown by. I can't say it's been enjoyable by any stretch, but as a life experience it's certainly interesting and different to what we've all been used to. I'm in a mindset to sit pretty until April and hope this turns around.
