Abbott criticises Johnson’s ‘utterly brazen’ PPE claim
DIANE ABBOTT slammed Boris Johnson for the “utterly brazen” claim yesterday that the government’s inability to source and supply personal protective equipment (PPE) has been “enraging” for him.
The former shadow home secretary pointed out that shortages of PPE during the coronavirus crisis are “entirely” Mr Johnson and his government’s responsibility.
Mr Johnson made the comment when he faced Sir Keir Starmer in Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) for the first time since the latter became Labour leader earlier this month. Mr Johnson had been off sick for three weeks after contracting the coronavirus.

Five Guys ‘putting profit before people’s lives’ after opening restaurants
The fast-food chain accused of causing chaotic scenes in Sheffield
FAST-FOOD chain Five Guys was accused of “putting profit before people’s lives” after it reopened dozens of restaurants to sell takeaways, leading to chaotic scenes in Sheffield as social distancing broke down.
Customers at the burger firm’s restaurant in the South Yorkshire city said it was impossible for the queuing crowds to stay two metres apart or even to get to the doors safely.
Panicked staff abandoned their posts, while some customers gave up and went home – even though they had paid for their meals in advance. Others got inside the restaurant and served themselves.

MPs must seek evidence from former Amazon vice-president, union demands
Tim Bray quit the company after it fired workers for protesting against the lack of coronavirus safety
MPs must seek evidence from former Amazon vice-president Tim Bray, who resigned after the company sacked US workers protesting at a lack of Covid-19 safety measures, GMB said today.
The union called on the employment and select committee to look into Mr Bray’s allegations.
He announced his resignation in a blog on Monday, saying: “Remaining an Amazon VP would have meant, in effect, signing off on actions I despised.”
Late in 2014, I made this Real Neat Blog Award. There are so many bloggers whose blogs deserve more attention. So, I wanted to try to do something about that.
It is the first award that I ever made. I did some computer graphics years ago, before I started blogging; but my computer drawing had become rusty. So, I made the award with this logo then.
It is good to see that this award, which later came back to me, since then has gone to many places of the blogosphere. And that some people have made new logos for it; like the one at the top of this blog post.
The rules of this award are:
My seven questions for my nominees are:
1. Who is your favourite visual artist?
2. Which is your favourite bird species?
3. Which is your favourite mammal species?
4. What is your favourite insect?
5. What is your favourite plant?
6. Where do most visits to your blog come from?
7. If you would be invited to make a space journey, then to which solar system planet would you like to go?

Amazon Vice President Quits In Support Of Fired Whistleblowers
Senior Amazon engineer Tim Bray said the firings were evidence of “a vein of toxicity running through the company culture.” We get a response from Chris Smalls, one of those fired workers.
Shortly after recording, Amazon confirmed that a worker at the same facility Smalls was fired from had died from COVID-19.
