London Labour and CV19 safety

London Labour and CV19 safety

I attended the London Labour Conference over the weekend, which was held online. I was lucky to be able to speak on CV19, public health and NPIs. This blog article reports on the notes of the speech, and the words of the motion.

Without Track & Trace, it’s just herd immunity

Without Track & Trace, it’s just herd immunity

Today should have been either Freedom Day or a more mundane, lifting of all lockdown restrictions. It isn’t. It’s been postponed by four weeks. I remain uncomfortable about the Govt’s (and Labour’s) approach and its sole reliance on vaccines. I

We’re all going on a summer holiday … or maybe not

We’re all going on a summer holiday … or maybe not

Will we go abroad for holiday’s this year? Boris, in Hartlepool, says maybe, Shapps says, dig out your passport. We’ll find out on May17th, but it looks as if the Govt will operate a traffic light scheme, requiring returning holiday

An unhappy anniversary

An unhappy anniversary

Someone writes to me, “I’m not sure the UK can pat themselves on the back for intentionally looking after themselves, much like the US. Germany also funded research into the Pfizer vaccine but didn’t secure a 1st order before the

A social security net for the pandemic

A social security net for the pandemic

A friend moved this motion, in his case, at their CLP on what we need to support people and even families during the current pandemic. (NPI is Non pharmaceutical intervention.) This can be used at CLP, Labour branch and Union branch meetings. The words of the motion are overleaf/below …

Responsible Opposition

In his first speech of the year, Sir Kier Starmer, the Leader of the Labour Party makes a speech on the Tory Govt’s flawed response to the coronavirus pandemic. Is this a redefinition of ‘responsible opposition’? I am not so sure. This post includes a link to the speech on youtube. I say, “It’s ok as far as it goes” but in thre end disappointing.

You have rights, even under lockdown

You have rights, even under lockdown

Last night the Prime Minister announced a new lockdown in England. Top line being that people should stay at home and only leave their homes for work if the work cannot be done at home and is essential. The rest of this blog is a draft of a post to one of my union blogs and talks about the NEU, and how to report employer bad behaviour. There’s more below and overleaf.

No isolation without track & trace

No isolation without track & trace

I mirror a Sky News report. WHO state that track & trace is more important than lockdowns, “UK leaders need to sort out problems with test and trace, says WHO envoy“, while we consider that all the Govt. is doing is mandating social lockdowns. The full article including the Nabarro quotes are worth reading and published on the “Read More” page. …

Lightening never strikes twice

Lightening never strikes twice

In my blogs on the Track & Trace failure [blog | linkedin], I make the throwaway comment that Govt. IT often fails repeatedly because no-one is accountable, nor punished and thus they fail to learn but in this case it’s

Fallout from a Road Trip

Fallout from a Road Trip

The press have been full of the story of Dominic Cummings’ trip to Durham (from London) while he was isolating due to CV19 infection. “Led by Donkeys” have their own inimitable take on this; they took it to Cummings’ London
