Presumably it's to discourage people from leaving the house to go and buy things like laminate flooring.

Then realised they lived in a one-bedroom flat, with nowhere to panic put their panic bought freezer that they panic bought to panic freeze their panic buys.

Big barbecue today with a load of mates round. Might as well make the most of the sunshine after all.

Indeed. The photo was chosen to show both the person and pretty much the minute that the question refers to. When some runner in the Lib Dem campaign suggested that looking at the camera might be a game-changer.

Peaked at around 48% positive

Trivia question for the politics nerds: Rishi Sunak's current favourability is apparently around 60% with the public according to YouGov. That's the highest for any UK politician from any party since Tony Blair, apart from one person at one particular time. Who?

UK deaths up 87 to 422

And the clear messaging was going so well. They nearly managed a whole day.

Government text messages now sent to everyone telling people to stay indoors. Must be nice for several of Johnson's children to get a text from their dad for the first time.
-
In Italy and Spain that's one of the only reasons you can leave the house. Apparently there are knackered dogs everywhere who are being passed around apartment blocks so that everyone gets a turn outside the house.

Can I point you in the direction of "the UK, 2016 - 2020" to help with the context?

The real victims of this tragedy , part 2:

My neighbours decided to have a big Mother's Day celebration yesterday. She's an unwell smoker in her fifties, so her four adult children decided to fill the house and garden with their families. Was probably 20 or so people milling around enjoying the sunshine. Never been so glad for an eight foot fence.

It would make sense. A Government whose members have spent four years telling everyone to ignore experience and expertise and just believe a bit harder and it'll be fine, can't really complain when their followers don't suddenly listen to some boring guy in a suit just because he is the Chief Medical Officer. Probably paid by Brussels anyway. Fat pension, paid for by the WHO. That's what I read on Facebook anyway. Who cares what that nerd is saying when that Tim Wetherspoon bloke says that it'll be alright and we should just have another beer?

From Tim Shipman in the Sunday Times: Just as a counter to "well, they're doing their best and following the science"

Sure. Just like every night. That beach picture from the BBC article, a bit blurry, but what do you reckon? A seafront of ungrateful young 'uns? Doesn't look like it to me. People are gathering in places other than pubs.

I'll take a wild punt, and guess that the Venn diagram of "young people in their consumerist, reality TV" etc and the people packing out Westonbirt Arboretum (as per my anecdote) doesn't have a particularly large overlap.
-
Apparently Westonburt Arboretum was so busy today that they were having to turn people away. An astonishing number of people seem to be treating this as some sort of early summer holiday. Why are the public such arseholes?

Oxford Street on a Friday night. h/t Louis Goodall

For anybody stuck at home with kids, a 12 month subscription to Disney + (launches in the UK on Tuesday) for £49.99 looks like the best money you'll spend on anything.

After a few years we'd probably find that Battersea Dogs Home had been closed down and sold off for flats.
