based both on novel technologies,
such as mRNA, and classic ones,

I like Drakeford, he seems to really think things through.

you can have a couple of days off :dance:

Again Labour will Vote it in.

that wont matter if there are enough tories voting against, and it will also see the end of Boris as leader. Games within games

He can spend that time doing the flu data.

He’s very measured and acts when he needs to and when he does act, he’s very clear on what needs to be done

I think we will probably have a lockdown soon.
