We no longer have new data about healthcare workers who have died with Coronavirus. This is because there's been a governmental directive to not publicize our colleagues who have died due to our govt's negligence.
Do not forget them. 👊🏽

I feel sick.
The government awarded £250m to a ”family” accountancy firm to buy PPE.
At the same time we were begging them to buy 30m masks a week from an actual supplier in China, and fund a £20m vaccine in Britain.
Both were denied.
This is an appalling scandal.

Ignore the Prime Minister
Listen to the scientists
Stay close to home if you can this weekend
Don’t go to the pub
Stay 2m from other people
Flatten the second peak
The government is ending lockdown before the pandemic is under control.

Has anyone designed the “my friends went to Bournemouth and all they brought me back was COVID-19” t-shirts yet?

Throughout discussion of antisemitism it’s always been said criticism of practices of Israeli state is not antisemitic. I don’t believe therefore that this article is or @RLong_Bailey should’ve been sacked. I stand in solidarity with her independent.co.uk/arts-enter…
This is so true and from what I’m hearing from friends ‘collective amnesia’, shockingly, sums it up

Mary Jr is the most beautiful baby, born in the most tragic way.
She is the reason I'm here.
Her nurse mother passed away with coronavirus, and we seek justice for her. 👊🏽

THREAD : ALARM BELLS RINGING
Some really worrying developments have taken place this week across Europe and in the UK.
However the mainstream media don’t seem to be giving it a great deal of attention or making the necessary links.
Yet alarm bells should be ringing.

Contact tracing: FAIL.
Herd immunity: FAIL.
PPE: FAIL.
Testing: FAIL.
Lockdown: FAIL.
Care homes: FAIL.
Contact tracing, again: FAIL.
This government has presided over a serious of failures so catastrophic that it should trigger an overhaul of how things are run in this country

Astonishing. This is the medal given to UK diplomats for their services. It depicts a white angel stamping on the neck of a black man.

Relaxing the lockdown was supposed to coincide with the Covid-19 threat level being reduced from 4 to 3. But the UK's four chief medical officers ALL refused to reduce it.
The government's response? It relaxed the lockdown anyway.
I call this culpable homicide.

From what I'm seeing in public places, lockdown and physical distancing are breaking down rapidly. Hardly surprising when the government tells us that the rules are no longer rules.
To protect one man, it will kill thousands.

“The BBC must uphold the highest standards of due impartiality in its news output,” we are told, as it reprimands #EmilyMaitliss.
I could buy that - perhaps - if the rest of its output were not one long hymn to established power.
