@faisalislam Just got back from visiting my wife’s family in California. Some areas were near universal masks (including outside), others very few. Some places absolutely packed, others very quiet. All within Monterey County.

Reasons to be cheerful:

Assuming 90% uptake, every UK adult will have received both doses by the 14th August.

Given that more vaccines should be approved and rolled out before then, that date *should* only get closer and closer.

Govt would surely filibuster this in the Lords but wonder if coming soon you'll hear "we will only vote for an election after the bill to lower the voting age is passed"

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

You started off falling for some harmless guff about ‘sovereignty’ & ‘British fish’ but you’ve ended up defending a man who maligned the memory of a murdered MP & insulted her friends. In parliament. Time for a rethink, surely?

The Supreme Court goes nuclear

It finds that Boris Johnson's advice to the Queen to prorogue Parliament was 'unlawful, void and of no effect'

As a result Parliament has not been prorogued.

That means MPs should be sitting in Parliament *now*

To recap. Today @BorisJohnson majority went from +1 to -43. He lost his first vote as prime minister. His Brexit strategy is being "wrecked", say No 10. He wants an election but may not be able to get it - at least not on his terms. And he's thrown Ken Clarke out of the party

Government loses. Johnson the first PM to lose his first Commons vote since Roseberry in 1894.
