@woburnabbey_ Good news we @burleighpottery are still making the small sugar bowl. Not in green asiatic pheasants, but plenty of other patterns.

A #StokeOnTrent pottery firm's giving the King a present.
#Burleigh, which is based @Middleport_Pot in #Burslem, is giving King Charles a unique decorator's book. The company's the only pottery still using the transferring method.

@MrStevenMoore @CameronDLWalker @GBNEWS Same here very happy to accept the invitation, as the King has pledged his life to the nation and to so many good causes for so long now.

A 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 icon that deserves to sit at the top table and not merely in a school lunchbox. Which is why we served up @Tunnocks Teacakes to the London diplomatic corps at the Foreign Secretary’s Christmas reception. They went down a treat. And will do again at your #Coronation party 😄

[House of Commons Speaker @CommonsSpeaker]

I’m very saddened to hear of the passing of my friend the Rt Hon. Betty Boothroyd, Speaker of the House of Commons 1992 - 2000.

I’d like to offer my heartfelt condolences, on behalf of the House, to Betty's family and loved ones.

Why aren’t people listening? It is real. Hospitals in the South East and London are being OVERWHELMED with CoViD. Stop ignoring it because you’re ‘low risk’ or bored of staying at home or want to see friends.

You’re spreading it.

Hospitals are drowning.

People are dying.

protect is our ability to care for the sick of all ages.

[Jemma Baskeyfield @JemmaBas]

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Just 377 healthy people under 60 have died of Covid. That's not a typo. There are no zeros missing. 377. Yes, that's sad but we have locked down an entire country for a virus that mostly kills the very old & the very sick. The rest of us should be free to decide our own risks.

[Jemma Baskeyfield @JemmaBas]

.. but they will be damaged. So for that reason I will wear a mask, follow rules, whatever. And hope that we can get to a point where we do not have to. And whatever we lose along the way will be terrible. But there is no easy way out, and the most basic of things we must...
