The president of the European Research Council resigned over the lack of a coordinated EU response to covid.
-
"I have been extremely disappointed by the European response to Covid-19, for what pertains to the complete absence of coordination of health care policies among member states, the recurrent opposition to cohesive financial support initiatives, the pervasive one-sided border closures, and the marginal scale of synergistic scientific initiatives.
I am afraid that I have seen enough of both the governance of science, and the political operations at the European Union.
In these three long months, I have indeed met many excellent and committed individuals, at different levels of the organisation of the ERC and the EC.
However, I have lost faith in the system itself. And now the times require decisive, focused, and committed actions – a call to responsibility for all those that have an aspiration to make a difference against this devastating tragedy."

When it comes down to it, member states really do still have policy autonomy and that a truly federal Europe is just a scare story - and that closer coopertaion would be beneficial?
or it's already falling apart with countries breaking ranks and acting in self interest?
Not sure how a one-size EU wide policy could ever work for this anyway. Big debate in euroland coming up.

"You do not survive the illness through fortitude and strength of character, whatever the prime minister’s colleagues will tell us, and the disease is not a great leveller – the consequences of which everyone, rich or poor, suffers the same.
Those on the frontline right now; bus drivers and shelf-stackers, nurses, care home workers, hospital staff and shopkeepers are disproportionately the lower-paid members of our work force.
They are more likely to catch the disease because they are more exposed.
Those who live in tower blocks and small flats will find the lockdown tougher. Those in manual jobs will be unable to work from home.
This is a health issue with huge ramifications for social welfare, and it’s a welfare issue with huge ramifications for public health."

The Tories launched an investigation into former Portsmouth lord mayor Lee Mason after a photo emerged of the baked goods, which also featured the words “sex” and “f***”.
He told the Portsmouth News: “I have not baked a bun with a Nazi symbol. You can see from the picture that is not a Nazi symbol.
He suggested the photograph, which was leaked after being posted on the Snapchat messaging app, may have been digitally manipulated.
