❗️Govt has abandoned simple public health measures for libertarian ideology.

❗️Current death rate is equivalent to over 40,000 people a year dying of Covid.

❗️Many, many more cases of #LongCovid will result too.

❗️It’s a national scandal @Conservatives!

[Lib Dem Health and Social Care 🔶 @LibDemHealth]

UK has highest #COVID19 rates, and death rates in western Europe.

This is result of deliberate policy decision by Govt not to keep distancing & masks mandates, & dithering & delays on vaccinating children.

Our GPs are working incredibly hard. The Covid pandemic has put huge extra pressures on them.

We simply do not have enough GPs anymore and the government has not done enough to recruit them into the profession.

This is a growing crisis.

David Amess was always so happy and pleasant. He died serving his constituents and in turn our country and democracy.
Thoughts with and condolences to his family, friends, constituency team and colleagues.

Like with most business its a sad state of affairs when narcissist bullys rise to the top & give wrong impression.Most MPs genuinely care about their constituents, work extremely hard & try to better the world. These are the ones with no protection. Angry this has happened again

If you have symptoms of any infectious respiratory disease, you should minimise human contact irrespective of what your PCR or lateral flow test says. It’s a British tradition to go to work or your GP when you’re shedding billions of virus particles, and it’s time we stopped it.

Slightly too late for #SwiftAwarenessWeek but at last a fine sunny evening last night with plenty of swifts in the #Somerset red sky.

A wonderful sight and sound as the screaming swifts came down to the roof tops.

Honestly, I just don't get this idea that we can't wait a couple of months to end mandatory masks in shops and on public transport. In relation to those controls at least the question is not: "if not now, when?" but rather: "WHY NOW?"

[Somerset for Change @ChangeSomerset]

@JMPSimor Shocking.

Mask wearing reduces infection rate by 25%!

[Jessica Simor KC @JMPSimor]

50% people on my bus have no mask. And look at the tube, which I gave up on.

[Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦 @Wera_Hobhouse]

No one should have to choose between feeding their family and heating their home.

@LibDems are calling on Govt to tackle fuel poverty by:

🏡Retrofitting the UK's housing stock
👷‍♀️Investing in training programmes to build up green skills
🏢Giving local authorities a greater role

[Lib Dem Health and Social Care 🔶 @LibDemHealth]

After July 19, 10,000-20,000 people a day may end up with #LongCovid.

Govt. irresponsible decision to relax all restrictions in England as #COVID numbers continue to rise will be directly responsible.

Please #WearAMask.

@DanielMumby @pow_rebecca @DJWarburton @JSHeappey @MarcusFysh Well said @DanielMumby.

Shameful decisions.

Having a bad day? Here's PPD Gromit to make you smile 😊🐾👍🏻

[Lib Dem Health and Social Care 🔶 @LibDemHealth]

Ministerial control over the #NHS brought us the failing Test and Trace & the scandalous PPE sagas.

The NHS is at its best when allowed to develop its services such as the #COVIDVaccination programme.

Evening #somersethour 😊 Just here quickly to say I’ve got a cracking #radioshow on #EasterSunday from noon on @fromefm featuring bee expert extraordinaire @Buzzabouthealth, @purplespoonage who we recently recognised for community kindness & there’s poetry from @bridgwater_poet!

[Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦 @Wera_Hobhouse]

I would like to warmly thank @CllrDineRomero for her tireless work over the past two years. She has made real progress tackling Bath's biggest challenges.

I am looking forward to working with @CllrKevinGuy and the rest of the @bathnesld team to build on what Dine has achieved.
