Boris Johnson just lied YET AGAIN - this time on @BBCNews saying again that no country has done more to settle vulnerable people since 2015 than the UK. It’s now impossible for me to put these reports together without feeling outright rage - help me put the record straight

Astonishing fact the UK has suffered more Covid deaths in 24 hours (1,041) than Australia has since the START OF THE PANDEMIC (909) What a monumental failure

Retired GP friend has volunteered to be a vaccinator (pro bono) but first has to do at least 20 hours of training (see below), in his words: "hard to believe the vaccinator is more dangerous than COVID"

Sometimes numbers feel meaningless but an image says it all. Here, a mother and daughter, each gravely ill with Covid, hold hands one last time before Maria Rico, 76, dies. This is why we beg the govt for full lockdown. The NHS is in crisis 😔 nottinghampost.com/news/loca…

So, to be clear, we just sent 3 million children into primary school FOR ONE DAY, so they could all mix around the virus, and *then* go into lockdown? That's what's actually just happened, right? My brain isn't making this up?
