No great loss ... he’s got so predictable now that we can guess what he’d be saying at PMs question-time ..

Well at least he asks relevant questions.

However, with this current PM, the whole PMQs is likely the biggest waste of time possible politically.

Starmer may as well just send a video of him asking Johnson his earlier questions, stating he'l keep doing so to try even get some relevant answers to even those earlier questions.

No point in putting any more until the previous ones are answered

I thought Mrs May was bad, however this present PM has taken PMQs maybe permanently to the gutter.
It needs massive reforming and the Speaker needs to control things better to, to ensure questions are asked and that question answered.

No going off on speeches by Johnson.
Otherwise, (this has been for a while admittedly), PMQs just needs scrapping.
I love politics but PMQs under this PM is an absolute non event.
With in my view too, an inept Speaker too.

Wheeling her away as well, like something you would see in a horror film, why did they need 'the manager' to call for a paramedic to check on the lady

I wonder if the daughter could call an ambulance on her mothers behalf or is the duty of care with the care home?

US Most of California under strict new lockdown as cases surge

Most parts of the US state of California are under a strict new lockdown, as Covid-19 continues to surge across the country.

The stay-at-home order affects around 85% of the state's 40 million people. It will be in place for at least three weeks and cover the Christmas holiday.

Many businesses will be closed, and people will be banned from meeting anyone outside their household.

On Sunday, the US had a record number of people in hospital with Covid-19.

The country has seen a sharp rise in cases and Covid-related deaths in recent weeks, a surge that could be partly down to last month's Thanksgiving holiday, when millions of Americans travelled around the US.

What are the new restrictions?

Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered that when capacity at intensive care units in any of five regions of the state goes below 15%, that region will go into lockdown within 24 hours.

The stay-at-home orders triggered in this way will be similar to the far-reaching order issued for the state after the pandemic first hit in March, but with a few significant relaxations:

*All retail stores are able to stay open, although only at 20% capacity, along with outside spaces such as parks and beaches

*Gatherings are prohibited, and people are required to stay at home and minimise contact with other households

*Bars, hair salons and indoor restaurants are closed

The lockdown will last for at least three weeks, and until ICU capacity goes above 15% again. Mr Newsom said the measures would help to "flatten the curve" and reduce the pressure on health services.

"We are at a tipping point in our fight against the virus and we need to take decisive action now to prevent California's hospital system from being overwhelmed in the coming weeks," he said last week.

How did it come to this?

The situation in California reflects a surge in infections nationwide. The state, which has the largest number of confirmed cases in the US, reported an additional 30,000 infections on Sunday, a new record.

It has recorded more than 1.3 million cases and around 21,000 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.

Intensive care capacity in two of the five regions set up by state officials for the purposes of the stay-at-home order - Southern California and the central San Joaquin Valley - fell below 15% on Friday.

Southern California, which includes Los Angeles and San Diego, the state's two largest cities, fell to 12.5% on Saturday, and San Joaquin to just 8.6%.
