Christian Adams refers to Trump’s assertion in an interview earlier this week that the total coronavirus deaths in the US are “lower than the world”.

As fears of a second Covid-19 wave in the UK mount, Brian Adock takes a jibe at Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s latest comment that veganism was a crime against cheese lovers.
