As I keep saying I'm not really sure you can even call 2020 a recession - a recession is something you don't want and try to avoid, this is using the deliberate suppression of economic activity as a weapon.
Not enough attention has been paid to what the government intends to do to support and boost any recovery or reconstruction because its very likely to be inadequate.

Lots of Scottish historians lining up to point out Neil Oliver is a mere archaeologist, i.e. someone who digs up pots for a living.

The answer seems to be do a brexit in the most incompetent way possible.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Saturday, 13 June 2020 11:35 (three years ago) link
I wonder what proportion of Brexiters consider it already done. Johnson himself was saying that a lot in the early stages of the pandemic "I can assure you no one in Number 10 is talking about Brexit much right now, it's in the past, it's done". There might be some danger for the government in having turned that page too quickly in the minds of the electorate.

In an effort to kip about historians, David Olusoga has been uncompromising in his support for the statues being taken down. He's in the middle of another season of A House Through Time, this one in Bristol and they're rerunning his Black and British series as well.

Nick Robinson just repeated that nonsense that there have been "calls for the Harold Wilson statue to taken down". Whatever the arguments for doing this, these "calls" were a single tweet by that got 7 likes and Barry Sheerman saw an opp for some outraged grandstanding. Complete non-story.

not gonna share it all, there's tons of vids all over Twitter already, attacking people sat in the park, nazi salutes, racial slurs, throwing shit at cop horses etc etc
i'm sure this will generate the same level of press brow-furrowing as last week's peaceful dumping of a racist effigy in a harbour
