Steve Double (Conservative, St. Austell and Newquay) One of the things that the current crisis is teaching us is that many people who we considered to be low-skilled are actually pretty crucial to the smooth running of our country—and are, in fact, recognised as key workers. Once we are through this situation, will my right hon. Friend consider reviewing our points-based immigration system to reflect the things that we have learnt during this time? Priti Patel (The Secretary of State for the Home Department) My hon. Friend makes a very important point. We have never said that people at lower skill levels are unimportant. As we know, throughout this crisis everybody is making a tremendous contribution and effort to keep all services functioning and running, while at the same time ensuring care and compassion for workers in service provision that is essential right now. I have already committed to keeping all aspects of the points-based immigration system under review. The important thing about that system is that we will ensure that points are tradeable based on skills and labour market need across particular sectors.

@Scientits tweet I've taken my bra off for comfort.
@Scientits tweet It has Sam Neill in it and I fancy him so things are looking good. Oooh - also Jason Isaac’s. Maybe I can wank the whole way through.
@Scientits tweet That was genuinely jumpy and scary, but gory films generally don’t give me sleep trouble @TwoPaddocks (Sam Neill) Those last 20 tweets are perhaps the most elucidating film commentary ever

You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios. I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”

Antonia Bance MP None of us are interested in people who stopped voting Labour years ago. I want Labour ‘24 voters to vote Labour again next time. And if progressive voters can’t find things to vote for in this leftwing government… I give up.

The vast majority of people will be too confused to do anything during an attack. Leach has looked at life-threatening situations around the world and has found that only 15% of people will respond in a way that helps them survive. Up to 75% will just be too bewildered by what is happening around them to react at all. The other 10% will react in ways that reduce their chances of survival and get in the way of other people, he says.
