If the over-70s have to self-isolate...

always looks like he's chewed on a wasp and farcical he's still the labour leader during this time of crisis. you think someone in the party would have made a decision appointed starmer the leader and got on with it. obviously gonna win in a landslide

Yes he should isolate along with every other over 70. There must be many MP's over 70. We dont want one rule for us and a different one for MP's.
The House of Lords will have to be closed as most of them are in their 90's. They only go there for a paid sleep anyway.

Corbyn refuses to say whether or not he will self isolate but will honour the results of a public referendum.

...and the bar....

bar...sleep...collect expences...go home

Rolling Stones tour cancelled.

I believe their lordships merely have to sign in to get their daily allowance.

Many have been filmed signing in, only to drive away immediately having satisfied the criterion required for their payment.

A good idea might be to wait until the House is packed, and then drop a bomb on the place.

Randall.ie/help is a community based site just after starting off,basically volunteers in your area want to help elderly people self isolating,there seems a good response in Ireland and i'm pleased it has also started to get volunteers in the UK.
I am not sure how it works re elderly/computers etc but it looks as if it is an excellent inititave.

I know a young fellow called Guy. I'll have a word with him. He might be able to work something out.

And on a serious note:

My mother is in her 80s. We, my family, have agreed that she should self-isolate. She's not happy about it but at least she has friends and family looking out for her. It's a worrying time for those who really ARE... alone in this sick and shabby world.

Rolling Stones, amazing how they they keep going, which is in complete contradiction to the unhealthy lifestyle image we have of them.

Mick Jagger must have one of the healthiest lifestyles in the whole of the UK.

This image they project is all done for the fans.
They've got the best people advising them so they know how to look after themselves.
Same with the Royal family.

I'm a great believer in the old saying that " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ". His immune system must be one of the strongest on the planet imo.
