Last week’s adjournment debate in Parliament was mostly pretty predictable stuff. No one should have been surprised at the attempts to rewrite history in the PM’s speech, for example. The techniques used by our Communicator-in-Chief are worth looking at closely, though, as it’s always good
It’s become clear this week that we’re going to see more cases of COVID-19. Nobody should be surprised. That’s how a virus works and only somebody extremely dim would expect anything different. 100 days without community transmission is, to be kind, a false negative. Before knee-
