Working from home? How did u join your last zoom call? As Minister, I started my last call feeding my 10 month old, then carried her on my back for the rest of the call. The presentations helped her sleep. I invite you to share with the world how you worked from home as a leader.

For all those who know me I am a rule follower, I listen to the briefing every day - I get it - and I am frustrated with journalists questions at times. For once I agree with @SkyNews journalist @patel4witham I am confused - if garden centres are not allowed to open following 1/2

Social distancing measures - @LongacresGC being my local - why is @BandQ allowed to open ? I really wish we were following Italy and France with essential shopping only and the letter. As a supporter of this Government - I can honestly say @patel4witham is DIY essential ?
This is such a brilliant channel - enjoying so many films beloved in my childhood. Let’s try and help in any way we can ....

I’m sure there will be an honour on the way for Captain Tom Moore but does anyone else think it would be great to have the ‘Captain Tom Moore Hospital’ so we - and future generations - can always remember this remarkable man? #Legacy #WalkWithTom @captaintommoore

Calls to UK Domestic Abuse Helplines have more than doubled since the lockdown. Victims should know that if they are in danger, they can dial 999, then - when prompted - press 55 and remain silent. Police will know that the caller is in danger and cannot speak. Spread this wide.

At 94 years old, I never imagined that i'd ever be new to anything again, but i'm new to Twitter! This is my first Tweetle. This will show my grandson that I can get down with the young ones. The only problem I have, is getting back up again!

My wife, the beautiful Colette, died today at 3.40pm. I loved her so much. She was an incredible, talented, funny and caring human being and I don’t know what I’ll do without her. This is a very sad day.
