    Jesus. That's for the info in the graph, which shows the week to week change since 28 August.

    It's not a wild guess, they know the proportion of positive people who are asymptomatic for instance.

    Almost in tears watching Andy Burnham on TV.

    **** this government. The gloves need to come off now. This isn't the North vs. Westminster it's everyone in every region of the UK that might get moved in to a life crippling Tier Three Lockdown.

    'Playing Poker with people's lives'. Set of absolute ******* Charlatans.

    Mr Jenrick has form for wanting favours in return for handing out money to local authorities. He did the same with flood relief, he's another of the sociopaths in the cabinet.
    They don't see the harm they're doing, they don't care. They love their power and show they're in charge.

    Mate I could have cried watching Burnham pour his heart out explaining the situation. They don't care about working class folk, business owners they just want their Brexit. They got the votes from the people they're now hurting, it doesn't matter because they only need 5 years in power to set themselves and their mates up for life.
    5 million is chicken feed, yet Dame Dildo was handed billions to hand to her friends and Tory backers. How much waste on consultancy fees weekly?
    Beyond contempt for the normal folk of our country.

    Still, at least these places are still Red Wall Labour seats, so no loss for Tories there then....

    It's absolutely soul destroying. The government are there to serve us, the people, and they're walking away as if this is some game.

    I swear some people don't realise the difference between a million and a billion. We've spunked some horrendous amounts of money and can't support GM with more cash? They should be hung for treason.

    A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

    Man Utd would spend £65m on a single player. Society is ****** if £5m is the sticking point at Government level.

    Usual Tories. Line the ******** up.

    Remember this feeling. Remember this anger. And make sure never to vote for them. And persuade your friends and family to do the same.

    The last British government to treat its population like this was under Earl Russell in the 1840s. It ended the Whigs as a political party in the UK.

    Just on the BBC now. Andy Burnham says he wanted 65 million extra funding.
    Government have just announced they will offer £22 million and will work with
    individual Councils in Greater Manchester to try and do a deal.

    Mate that's all these sociopaths see, those that vote for em and those that don't. If you don't then they rather see you rot. Michael Heseltine said as much about the current and Cameron governments. They loved the bitch and grew up watching her destroy working class areas. Let's not forget Thatcher wanted to let Liverpool burn to the ground, it took moderate and reasoned voices to stop it happening. The Tory party doesn't have moderate voices, they're a cult.
    The church spoke up about a no deal Brexit, today Steve Baker wants the party to consider removing the churches influence. I'm not a religious person, but how can that be right? The church works closely with charities and in most part are a force for good when it comes to lobbying.

    Even though they were willing to give £60m. This isn't how negotiations go when it's the livelihoods of the people that are being negotiated away

    Wow! 22 million. But they'll give Serco contracts knowing full well they'll make a mess of things.

    Exactly I bet there was less negotiating on the billions for track and trace handed out.

    And yet Burnham said they'd offered £60m. Couldn't they at least give them the £60m and promise to review in 3 months? What a bunch of ****ing shysters.

    Thatcher didn't make policy decisions that starved people or left them facing a potentially deadly virus without support. She was an evil cow, but not *that* cold blooded.

    Spot on. Absolutely disastrous decision without the appropriate support. Pretty crippling even with the support but without it this is beyond crazy.

    They wasted 12 billion on contracts to their mates. Contracts that we've received next to nothing or quite often literally nothing for.

    As Loko says, the difference between a million and a billion is hard for our brains to fathom. Look at this visual representation:
