Asking for help on twitter in the Exeter area! My daughter has lost her airpods whilst out for a walk on the 11th of August, she has Tourettes and uses them as a distraction whilst out to help with her tics and is so upset that she's lost them! Last seen in Flowerpots area

Many areas of the UK are not commissioning services for #tourettes meaning that there are no diagnostic pathways and children are unable to get diagnosed or receive treatment. Please sign our petition https://t.co/tlZnQ5QBKU 20 days to make a difference #SignShareHelp #WeNeedYou

Professor Chris Whitty says he would wear a mask in many circumstances, especially given "the epidemic is significant and rising” at the moment

Sir Patrick Vallance echoes his colleague adding masks are particularly crucial indoors in "crowded spaces"

Morning @virginmedia still no WiFi working even though you've said it's fixed!?! Trying to homeschool so this is a nightmare!!!!!!

[Joy Lavis @JoyLavis]

Love how @piersmorgan and @susannareid100 are holding @MattHancock to account! I would love to be a fly on the wall when Matt Hancock finishes this interview and bet he's like a petulant little child throwing his toys out the pram! I'll stick to thanking the NHS not his 'team'!

Tomorrow the Executive of the National Education Union meets to decide the next steps as the government refuses to recognise the ongoing Covid crisis in our schools.

RT if you stand with the teachers and not this shambolic and irresponsible government.

Tics and TS can make it very difficult to focus in exams - involuntary movements make it sometimes impossible to read and write exam papers without losing train of thought.
This petition asks for people with TS to be assessed on coursework, not exams: https://t.co/MVqX55gVqt

Dear @MattHancock,

Please can you explain how the risk level seems to have gone from a 4 to a 1 overnight to facilitate this change for the most vulnerable?

There are a lot of scared people around who need to know.

Thank you,

NHS Million

Please RT if you’d like to know too

I'm deeply concerned we are now rushing too fast to lift lockdown measures.

The Joint Biosecurity Centre has said we’re not ready to move from level 4 to 3 and the 5 tests are not met.

I urge Londoners to act with caution - lives depend on it.

I don't think we've got a full handle on schools.
And that makes people nervous'
