As the husband of a doctor, allow me to say "Fuck you, you stupid orange piece of shit." Sorry, I meant "Fuck you, you stupid orange piece of shit, Mr. President."

Doctors saved your worthless life. A decision, I guess, many are rethinking. https://t.co/vbwzjrB8MC
FOR F*CK SAKE!!! Trump just picked the wrong goddamn fight trying to blame doctors for “phony” #COVID19 diagnoses and deaths. Here are over 20+ doctors who have **DIED ON THE FRONTLINES** among almost 2000 healthcare workers who have died.

Racism pours from Trump's mouth regularly & is a consistent part of his pitch to voters.

Those who deny, excuse or minimise his blatant racism because of some of his policies they like, demonstrate their real position on racism. https://t.co/OwnIcHU8fl
Richard Ford: “whether he’s a proto-fascist or just a Covid-addled, oxygen-deprived, old roid-rager, Donald Trump is really, of course, just an unhinged and befuddling symptom of a deeper American malaise” https://t.co/xMb3CCFfmo

“his first two-plus years of struggle with seasoned, expert advisers, led to an insight for Trump. It all came back to loyalty. He needed to get rid of any advisers or senior officials who vowed loyalty to the Constitution over personal loyalty to him.“ https://t.co/ErjgjSUlT7

I suspect the real reason these have leaked tonight is that Number 10 and the Treasury remain totally divided on lockdowns. The leaks are a test of public opinion by one faction, to try to force the hand of the other. https://t.co/3yOIBbNwSF

Watching governments trying to negotiate with a virus has reminded me of ancient peoples bargaining with weather gods and forest spirits. "If we wear corn headdresses will you promise to make it rain?" "If we shut pubs at 10 instead of 11 will you promise not to infect us?"

Nobody could have known Covid 19 was coming in 2020. Anyone with half a brain could have predicted that Boris Johnson would lead this country like a blindfolded fool building lego.
— Otto English (@Otto_English) October 31, 2020
The way that major policy changes continually appear in the media days before any official announcements makes me think that Boris Johnson first and foremost sees himself as a newspaper columnist, and that being PM is an inconvenient time consuming sideline…
