Still not over Piers Morgan being one of the few holding the government to account...
This, from @piersmorgan, is a masterclass in the questions all journalists should be asking in this pandemic.

If you're not holding government to account now, over potentially tens of thousands of avoidable deaths, then when? pic.twitter.com/ajJUNDxqvY
There's poor leadership, there's general incompetence - and then there's screwing up to such an unfathomable degree that you manage to piss off Phillip Schofield.pic.twitter.com/v5sJIOn3h4

General bitchiness, and a lot of re-writes of the new slogan:
The UK’s coronavirus strategy in the British press vs the UK’s coronavirus strategy in the rest of the world’s press. pic.twitter.com/Tga8wVU09f

Not sure why people were complaining about confusion. Government line is really clear - working class people should go out to work and middle class people should work from home where it is safe.

I may not agree with all of Leo Varadkar's politics I definitely find that he has proven himself a much stronger leader than our neighbours' leader.

And yeah, let's hope people listen to... Nicola Sturgeon or Sadiq Khan or a talking oven glove rather than our glorious leader.

The world is even more topsy-turvy. I mean, Tories are always bad, but the sheer level of incompetence is... well, it'd be impressive if it wasn't that it got thousands of people literally killed. :(

Can we borrow him? Please? Or anyone vaguely competent? Please? (I know, I know, they can't travel. But I can dream...)
