@justsofestival Hey, thank you! Only just seen it (cripes, sorry!) and can't answer there as you're not following me (fair enough). Can I still follow it up?

[Rob Shepherd 💚🇪🇺 ☮️ @GreenRobShep]

@offthebridle80 @MariusGeesink @AlexBuxton Yup.

@TheFreds @AlexInAir But what do you mean by "speaking out on Covid and the lockdowns"? That's nothing to do with exemption.

The tabloids and many politicians are now gung-ho for 8 March schools reopening, believing children are less likely to transmit. They really need to read @dgurdasani1

[Dr. Deepti Gurdasani @dgurdasani1]

The evidence that has been used to make these claims is heavily biased, and less biased evidence that has emerged recently, even within England actually shows the opposite. Over Apr-Nov in England primary school children were 2x more likely to transmit to contacts than adults.

Ministers promised a “Green Brexit in which environmental standard are not only maintained but enhanced”

Today #EnvironmentBill back in Commons - yet falls *far* short of maintaining existing standards, never mind enhancing them

Yet more greenwash...

So true ⤵️

Hancock said the vaccine roll out is a sign of what the Union can do. I think it’s proof of what the NHS can do when it doesn’t have unwanted private sector contracts foisted upon it.

@davyjones4ktown Alternatively, it'll come round again 100 years, 1 day and 1 hour after the first. Give you something to look forward to. As long as you've moved inland by then.

In 21 minutes it will be the 21st minute of the 21st hour of the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.

@davyjones4ktown I'm sure you can catch it on iPlayer. 😀

Shellfish co lays off 50 oyster fishers because Defra hasn’t even created the form that allows them to export to EU after Brexit.
The form will be ready in April but the shellfish season ends March 30 and doesn’t start again until Nov.

Do we really have a free trade agreement with the EU? Yes. But then UK government rules mean it isn't free at all!

@reformattday Hasn't HM Gov made it a requirement that the overseas seller charges and then remits the UK VAT?

[Rob Shepherd 💚🇪🇺 ☮️ @GreenRobShep]

@jburnmurdoch Thank you. I guess the next week or two will tell.

[Rob Shepherd 💚🇪🇺 ☮️ @GreenRobShep]

@jburnmurdoch Your thread's fabulous and crystal clear, thank you. But just one thing: you're saying case rates & test positivity have been falling for over a week across most of England but Imperial College today is saying the fall has faltered or reversed and R is up? https://t.co/L2twFoQrCp

[Dr. Deepti Gurdasani @dgurdasani1]

No. This is dangerous misinformation - and extremely negligent based on the current evidence & where we are in the UK pandemic. We need protections in place even after vaccination - to say otherwise puts lives at risk.
