Replying to @BBCRealityCheck
'Pubs should stay open but people shouldn't go to them' was the government's laughably stupid advice at the time of this 'pre lockdown lockdown' 😏

This is the official data on new coronavirus cases in England from the government’s dashboard. As you can see it makes no sense at all. There is weird repetition and none of the columns reconcile. Perhaps ⁦@PHE_uk⁩ or ⁦@NHSuk⁩ can explain

Why does this man just lie, and why do people let him lie ? He says at #PMQs that having a free port in (London)Derry "can only be achieved by Brexit" There are 80 of them, yes 80 ! that already exist in the EU. He is lying...

You’d think that 2 years after the government apologised for #windrush Anthony Bryan might have received compensation for having been wrongly detained for 5 weeks #SittingInLimbo. He hasn’t. Only £360,000 of a compensation pot meant to pay out £500m has been distributed

It's very difficult to convey the sheer terror produced by a police horse charging down on you. The only time it's happened to me is in 2010, and it's one of v few times I've been *terrified* on a protest. It is a cruel and barbaric tactic, intended to incite panic and fear.

Epidemiodology Professor John Edmunds (on SAGE Govt advisory group) agrees with other top scientists and tells #Marr UK should have gone into lockdown earlier and it cost a lot of lives. PPE graduate Matt Hancock (the Health Secretary) says he’s sure Govt took right decisions

Hi Matt. Can you point us to the scientific evidence that says people with serious underlying health conditions can now “safely go outside”?
Now we’ve flattened the curve & reduced new infections, from tomorrow, the 2.2 million people who have been shielding can safely go outside I know how much those shielding have sacrificed. Thank you to everyone who has protected our NHS & saved lives telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/05…

A claim that a 2019 blogpost by Dominic Cummings was edited in 2020 to include a warning about coronaviruses is correct. The change appears to have been made in April. He claimed Monday that he’d warned about the virus last year. fullfact.org/health/cummings…

Unfortunately we’ve lost quite a few followers today because we condemned Dominic Cumming’s actions. But for us, the health of our colleagues and the population they serve is more important than anything else. So please RT and follow if you remain right behind us. Thank you x

How on earth can 2 people having an affair be more newsworthy than almost 30,000 people dying? Unless you don't want the public to focus on who led to the disaster of almost 30,000 people dying
