The government has announced a series of draconian measures to try and prevent foreign #COVID variants from entering the UK. But in Tory hands, such steps will not help. The left must fight to put workers in control. #Tories#coronavirus#hotelquarantine

@lewis_goodall Blanket border quarantine costing ยฃ1.7k would cut off almost every black, asian, latino, European person living in Britain from their family indefinitely. Yet I genuinely haven't seen this fact mentioned once in the media during the whole debate until now.
๐ด All UK adults could be offered a vaccine โby summerโ.
๐ด Lockdown must be eased slowly, with at least 3 week intervals, or restrictions may have to be reimposed.
๐ด Variant that can completely evade vaccines is โunlikelyโ.
๐ด At least 30% of UK population has has Covid.
Jeff Bezos says he's proud of working conditions at Amazon. Workers say they're surveilled, treated like robots, and forced to work in a grueling and unsafe environment.
Now these warehouse workers in Alabama are organizing to demand change.
The government is throwing everything at a vaccination campaign to end lockdown while simultaneously refusing to end lockdown based on vaccinations. Makes sense ๐คช
@lewis_goodall The fact that the entire focus has been on holidays shows how white and rich the media and political class is (and that you only know other rich white people)
A crucial point. The debate on this can be so parochial. 9.5 million (14%) of the UK population were born abroad. More still will have family abroad but born here.
