On #UHCDay, we must remind everyone that it's not just #COVID19 that’s killing people. It's: -underprivilege -lack of access -years of living with health conditions that haven't been properly managed because of their skin colour, ethnicity, or social group

A Labour government would protect working people, so families don’t feel the pinch. We would introduce a truly reformed social care system that delivers for those who need it teapawt.org/UKLabour/status/146387…

Latest @PHE_uk figures show that those aged 10-19 are currently the highest numbers of cases of #Covid19 Please get your #CovidVaccine: 16 or over? Search 'nhs covid vaccine' to find a walk-in site. If your child is 12 or over, they will be offered the vaccine through school.

1/2 We have long argued about falsest of false economies to cut the public health grant. Everyone wants more prevention, just not sure they want to pay for it. The Spending Review is an opportunity to change all that. @patcullen9 @theRCN @ADPHUK amp.theguardian.com/politics…
