La part de décès liés au #Covid19, c'est-à-dire avec "mention de Covid comme affection morbide ayant directement provoqué ou contribué au décès" sur le certificat de décès, repasse sous la barre de 1% .

Elle atteignait... quasiment 50% en avril 2020.

This feels like a crossing of the Rubicon. It is not an unconsidered expression of opinion by one journalist in the heat of the moment but a planned editorialising by the BBC, a passing of judgement on the government.

It is a grave mistake.

Here's UKIP's former Scottish leader David Coburn, who has denied taking Russian bribes after being named in Whatsapp messages between Nathan Gill and a pawn of the Putin administration, being applauded by Gill for arguing against Ukraine's entry to the EU

‘Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he had ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.’

Great work from @BBCWales. Keep going

Reminder: G20 leaders knew last weekend that Trump was going to try and oust South Africa from next year's summit. That's why this final paragraph of the Jo'burg Summit Declaration was so very carefully worded. The "Miami" Summit (at Trump's golf club in Doral) is now very unlikely to happen.

Decent move - but why wait till 2029? Too many tax exemptions apply to pensions, it’s part of our regressive tax regime - the more money you have the more exemptions you get.

Salary sacrifice... good to see the back of it. It was a perk for the higher paid and did not benefit those living from week to week/month to month struggling to make ends meet on poor/low pay. Good to hear Shelagh Fogharty complaining about it.... because??
