The University of Cambridge has moved all lectures online until the autumn of 2021. Can it expect the abuse that is being screamed at teachers in state schools, who are expressing concerns about whether or not to open up again in the summer of 2020? If not, why not?
Over 30 years, 3,532 people died in the Northern Irish Troubles. By this time next week, Covid-19 will have claimed 20 times that number in this, the second worst affected country in the world. We shall have lost as many as the total number of British civilian fatalities in the Second World War, but with no end in sight.
Yet a few hours from now, Keir Starmer is once again going to rise to face an extremely rare public appearance by Boris Johnson. Starmer will fawn over Johnson, and will immediately be praised to the skies for such a "forensic" performance.
The public is not fooled, with Labour permanently 20 points behind the Conservatives, putting it on course for fewer than 200 seats, and for fewer votes than all other non-Conservatives put together. But oh, for a Leader of the Opposition.
