Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me steve richards thank you very much for

tuning in and thank you all those of you who watched the uh virtual rock and roll politics

live show last monday evening on the king's place uh youtube website many of you did and thousands of

watched subsequently the link is is on the website still to that

show. So if you didn't watch it and would like to do so, please do. The odd thing about this crisis

is that actually things are much slower moving than you think. So it hasn't really dated the show from last week because

the themes of this virus remain constant. Deaths, tests, equipment, exit strategy. And when you think

about it, most of the questions at those daily press conferences are the same each day virtually and the same answers.

And I've just been watching the political programs which come out most days in various forms.

And the questions have been the same for weeks as well as the answers.

So nothing really dates.

Things appear to be fast-moving all the time

because the choreography is such that there are daily press conferences,

there are specials each day on the television and all the rest of it.

But those have been the constant themes, tests, equipment, deaths, exit strategy, blah, blah,

blah, not underplaying any of them. They are of supreme importance, but we are navigating our

way through this very, very slowly indeed. One thing that has happened since that live show.

Oh, and by the way, there'll be another one this month.

So do look out for that on Kingsplay's website, Twitter, and I'll alert you here as well.

Well, yeah, back to one of the things that has happened this week.

The meeting in inverted

commas of Matt Hancock's 100,000 tests target, which was a new twist at the press
