Now this is awks. Bas Javid, brother of Sajid Javid, wrote about how he was in charge of the Met's Covid policing last year in The Spectator. There's an urgent need into an inquiry as to why there has been no investigation into #DowningStreetParties

I rarely quote tweet but this is not right.

Firstly, it's airborne - that means aerosols are as important as droplets.

That means masks and ventilation are crucial steps and both necessary.

Second, there is excellent evidence on masks in schools: 1/4

THREAD on England & Omicron and what is going on.

My take on it.

TLDR: things are pretty bad and I'm sad & bewildered at lack of govt action and general levels of hopium. 1/18

I've got it! It was Jacob Rees Mogg...

[Dr Alex Bulat @LabourAlexB]

This is an MP. Yes, a Member of Parliament.

And then we’re told to have a “genuine debate on immigration”…

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

I watched this last night. And again this morning. And I’ve finally worked out why it feels like such a landmark speech.

It’s not just the articulacy of @RhonddaBryant’s words. It’s the rare silence he’s afforded by his fellow MPs. Chilling.

This is a lie. Please rt.

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but the elevator attendant in Pretty Woman is without doubt Matt Hancock.

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

If you start a point with, “But it’s only children with pre-existing conditions that will get seriously ill…”,

I’m not interested in what comes next

Great thread on how to make schools and universities safer by simple measures that contain aerosol transmission 👇

[Sue Perkins 💙 @sueperkins]

Steve, I bring terrible news. It’s your Brexit. It’s your ‘fiasco’. You were at the epicentre of the policy-making elite who pushed it through, without scrutiny, in the harshest terms possible.
As for poorer and colder, you have consistently voted against welfare increases…

[Dr. Deepti Gurdasani @dgurdasani1]

The UK govt once again shows that it strongly believes in reproducibility in science by refusing to act on strong evidence from so many other countries. We must see every mistake reproduced in the UK to be absolutely sure we aren't exceptional. And still not correct these.

This weekend's news about Boris Johnson.
1. A Tory donor paid for take aways. £27,000 in 8 months. Over £100 per day.
2. He missed COBRA meetings about Covid in 2020 as he was writing a book. To pay for his divorce.
Surely he's a security risk as he is vulnerable to corruption?

THE LIE

Hancock said:

“When we put Pakistan on red list & indeed Bangladesh, positivity of those arriving from Pakistan & Bangladesh was 3x higher than from India”

THE TRUTH

Gov’s OWN DATA shows:

Bangladesh 3.7%
India 5.1%
Pakistan 6.2%

SO UTTER BS THEN

[MI6 ROGUE @mi6rogue]

After asking around, I can now put @mi6rogue behind this; @BorisJohnson brother JOSEPH EDMUND JOHNSON was given a Directorship (Director ID 926518433) by Dyson & facilitated contact between BJ & Dyson; Dyson wanted access to the VIP fast lane & tax breaks in exchange.

[Anna Turley MP @annaturley]

£120,000 an hour. Let that sink in. For the architect of brutal austerity - the man who froze public sector pay, and made the poorest people pay a bedroom tax.

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

This is a disaster. We have more than 50 flights from India daily. 77 cases of a really nasty India variant that affects younger people already here? Surge testing without isolation support. Contacts not being tested. This is a total shambles. We have learnt nothing after a year.

[That Civil Service tweet twice a day (fan account) @ThatCivilTweet]

Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?

[Stephen Bourne @blackpoppies14]

To my horror I named as one of the 'academics & individuals' who was consulted by the Commission on Race & Ethnic Disparities. I wonder how many others were consulted without their knowledge?
