    Hancock has just finished his No 10 appearance. Dreadful statistics. Emphasizing the continuing need for maintaining social distancing, he warned off anyone attending a George Floyd demonstration this weekend of any more than 6 people!

    357 deaths and a total of 40,261 deaths from Covid 19. Hancock's heart goes out to all we were told.
