@archied009 @SteveBakerHW @emilyhewertson People act differently dependent on where they live?

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@c21st_sailor @SteveBakerHW At a rate that will take 3 years to immunise everybody over 50

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@line_pencil @SteveBakerHW Lockdowns have been put in place throughout Europe. Where have they worked?

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@GraemeVLongmuir @SteveBakerHW And yet the Tier 4 lockdown ends on 30th December. Have you thought about that?

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@FallonRogeri @SteveBakerHW It will take 3 years at current rollout rate

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@BunnyPeculiar @SteveBakerHW Following the rules won't prevent the vaccine from spreading.

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@ChattyMan9 @SteveBakerHW Current rollout rate will mean it will take almost 3 years

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@SteveBakerHW Didn't you vote through the Tier system on the promise that there'd be no more changes without parliamentary approval before January 2021?

@JosephMackayCh1 @MJW_DC @MumsForLungs @jthalassites @RBKC @betterstreetskc @FoxPrimary @London_Cycling @willnorman @HonNHavers @MayorofLondon @grantshapps @transportgovuk @TfL Accidents are concentrated on main roads and cycling is 25 times as likely to lead to an accident as taking the car. Cycle lanes encourage a high risk activity

@MJW_DC @MumsForLungs @jthalassites @RBKC @betterstreetskc @FoxPrimary @London_Cycling @willnorman @HonNHavers @MayorofLondon @grantshapps @transportgovuk @TfL Well observed. They're supporters are all cycling campaigners. They don't care about air pollution

@StellaHaley20 @MumsForLungs @jthalassites @RBKC @betterstreetskc @FoxPrimary @London_Cycling @willnorman @HonNHavers @MayorofLondon @grantshapps @transportgovuk @TfL MumsForLungs is a cycling campaign group which is solely focused on an anti-car campaign. As your graphic shows, road transport only accounts for 12% of air pollution, with cars 1 of the cleanest motor transports

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@MumsForLungs @jthalassites @RBKC @betterstreetskc @FoxPrimary @London_Cycling @willnorman @HonNHavers @MayorofLondon @grantshapps @transportgovuk @TfL Air pollution is on main roads. Adding cycle lanes, increases pollution. Let the streets breathe.

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@SmokePollution @MumsForLungs @AirFairy04 @WHO Double counting there. Elderly people die from cardiovascular & respiratory disease which has been linked to air pollution (mainly smoking) and some caught Covid & died

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@MumsForLungs @FabianaEggers @WHO Particulates include pollen & dust. You people are mad

@mwt2008 @MumsForLungs @londoncouncils @jonburkeUK @will_harmer @clairekholland @kscterry @Stuart_King @CllrPaulScott @miksabiers @katherinedunne @jhoward87 More bull shit from the anti-car brigade

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@MumsForLungs @londoncouncils @jonburkeUK @will_harmer @clairekholland @kscterry @Stuart_King @CllrPaulScott @miksabiers @katherinedunne @jhoward87 It's been illegal in London to burn wood since the late 50s.

@RichardBurgon I think you lost it for sure

UK's Labour party reinstates former leader Jeremy Corbyn following his suspension last month, BBC understands https://t.co/Jk3VGotty4

#politicslondon Given the state of London's economy (TfL finances etc) the question is whether we can afford the Mayoralty and everything that goes with it. GLA, AMs etc... What value are we getting?

[Dr Gareth Isaacs @GarethIsaacs]

@garethashmoreSB BBC ignoring this topic & not pointing out that Londoners use cars far less than anywhere in UK or indeed the cycling utopia of Holland
