Re: Parliament - Speaker -'Total disregard for this Chamber is not acceptable'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-54349516Linday Hoyle says the way that the government has passed regulations with little notice and no debate has been “totally unsatisfactory”
The Speaker has decided this amendment will not be selected for debate because he believes it is not within the scope of the day’s proceedings and risks undermining Parliament.
There is a meeting after PMQs in which MPs and ministers will discuss a potential compromise to give MPs more say.

There might be a massive improvement if the government got the pandemic under control .... maybe employing ex-Sainsbury management for T, T & T is the way forward but I remain unconvinced ....

Right now the best that BoJo or anyone can do is to react as rapidly as possible to its chaotic behaviour whilst trying to keep the economy going.
No-one could do better than Bojo and most of his cabinet.

Looking that way, probably they already know this but reluctant go public because they are worried about the reaction. Mass hysteria and panic or rational acceptance.
