Wow Raab trying to fudge the testing number by claiming the uk now has a testing capacity of 40,000 tests a day and on its way to 100,000 a day. They are trying to change the target to a testing capacity rather than actual number of tests. Well done Starmer for straight back at him though.

You know the Labour leader's doing a good job when he's being praised by George "Mr Austerity" Osborne

This was honestly refreshing to see from a BBC journalist amidst all the aforementioned 'bRiTaIn HaS aN oPpOsItIoN aGaIn' gooseberry fool going on in my timeline earlier.


Yeah but if they keep slagging him off then in a decade they can start doing those monologues where they they question whether he was really so bad.

We need to spread awareness regarding this issue. I mean, people are still not taking it seriously and going out more often. The pointers that you have given are absolutely important to be followed. Thanks for spreading awareness.

His face is amazing, clearly wanting to scream at her that she's a deluded strawberry floating maniac but having to keep a professional poker face.

We've got the MS Teams update at work that let's you change your video background rather than just blur it, so I'll be spending the rest of the day working from home searching for images that are the most borderline acceptable to get away with.

I saw someone had the room they were in, but had done it as a video where at one point the person walks in the room to interrupt himself.

I'm not overly concerned, we just had a meeting where half of us were using minecraft backgrounds, and one of the team managers was complaining because he's not had the update yet.

He also has a phobia of cows, so I've dropped a picture of a field full of cows heading for the camera into my background folder for next time.

We've got to the point in lockdown where my mum is texting me TikToks. No going back to normal now.

I'm not turning my camera on. That'd mean i'd have to get dressed.

We discovered the video backgrounds on Teams last week, when one of my colleagues joined the call with a Joe Exotic background. :lol:

The boss took it in good humour though, and encouraged everyone to have a look for a good background. She sat there herself with an Outer Worlds screenshot as her background for the remainder of the call.

Yeah I don't understand why so many people are doing calls with the webcam on, it seems unnecessary.

There are benefits such as catching people picking their nose when they don't realise/forget they're still on screen.
