Unimaginable pain.

Avoidable death.

Government failures played out in hospitals, care homes and in communities across the country.

Keir Starmer is classier, sharper, more thoughtful, better briefed, more considered, more mature, has better instincts, is cannier, more talented, more composed and more Prime Ministerial than Boris Johnson.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

I’m going to bed. But it’s unbelievable that nearly 1,000 people died today. Someone’s mother, father, brother, sister, son. Meanwhile parliament is on its hols & BBC breathlessly reporting govt’s ‘Herculean efforts’. If you’re not angry, you’re honestly not paying attention

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Have been in dialogue with Amazon regarding paying staff who self-isolate. They have agreed to give staff full-pay for up to two weeks, if they have to self-isolate. This is good news and I hope other companies will follow suit - Statutory Sick Pay is not enough!

I just coughed, without warning, on a crowded train & the looks I got!
You’d think I had said “Allahu Akbar”

Please Calm Down Everybody

[Tulip Siddiq @TulipSiddiq]

Update on Nazanin: I’ve spoken to her husband Richard who is my constituent. He is very shaken & says Nazanin‘s whole family are terrified for her safety. He’s asked me to raise it urgently in Parliament on Monday which I’ll be doing.Please keep them in your thoughts #freenazanin

[Labour Press @labourpress]

A letter signed by over 150 cross-party MPs and Lords including Labour Leader, Jeremy Corbyn MP has been sent to the Prime Minister today asking to immediately halt a flight which is seeking to deport 50 individuals to Jamaica. – @NadiaWhittomeMP

We were honoured last night to kick off our 100 years anniversary with special guest speaker @IanLaveryMP, chairman of the Labour Party. Some good and frank discussions about how we learn the lessons from the general election and move forward as a movement and party #ForTheMany

@Lixy_Cat @SGandAT @IsabelleTrowler @agc19851989 @educationgovuk Sorry to hear that you currently don't have the support you need. Sorry acronyms are confusion me (admin). What does lo and SGO mean. Sounds like a lot of care and attention needed and not being compensated for the complex care that is needed. What would you suggest?

[Burton and Uttoxeter Labour Party @EastStaffLabour]

@SGandAT @IsabelleTrowler @agc19851989 @educationgovuk 2/2 also making sure LA's take accountability for their failings and more accountable to government and adopters/adoptees. Ending the two child cap on benefits reducing the financial strain on adopters.

[Burton and Uttoxeter Labour Party @EastStaffLabour]

@SGandAT @IsabelleTrowler @agc19851989 @educationgovuk 1/2 First of all this is horrible and totally preventable. We need to allow the adoptees and the adopters to both feel part of society and not outcast. We have to fund youth services properly, also putting more into mental health services, and not discriminating.
