The Covid Inquiry, on the first day of Module 2, has heard some extraordinary evidence this morning about how Boris Johnson's government responded to the outbreak in the early weeks of 2020

@GeorgeMonbiot I think it’s fatigue. After years of Brexit then Covid polarized debate (and above average political engagement nationally) most ordinary people just want to forget about politicians. And of course they are cynically taking advantage of that.

We need deeds not words to stop the avoidable killings of women by men. It was an honour to read their names in front of bereaved families. Every year it is overwhelming.

@bbc @bbcnews please do your jobs and report news. Your own relationship with an (admirably principled) sports presenter is not a legitimate news story. The government are currently attempting to break international law (again) if you’re short of ideas.

@KatelynElders I think the snowflakes are fictional on this occasion? None in the east anyway…

@alice_emily A bendy plastic straw was my birth must have. Meant I could drink without having to change position to tip a bottle.

@unibirmingham super sad to see you as one of the widest pay gaps when scrolling through and no change year on year 😠

[Gender Pay Gap Bot @PayGapApp]

In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 17.6% lower than men's. The pay gap is the same as the previous year.

@ncfcnumbers Such a niche fact! If you can do this I wonder if you can tell me are we the shortest team in the championship? This question could probably apply to multiple seasons 😂

[Suzannah Lipscomb @sixteenthCgirl]

So, what do you reckon? Energy costs are so high that we’ve now got a shortage of food because farmers can’t afford to heat greenhouses. What has to happen before the government points out a problem with energy firms making billions in profit and impoverishing everyone else?

The government has just published new data on the cost of UK tax reliefs, which is the money given away by the government because some things are not taxable or because costs can be offset against income. Tax reliefs on savings are going to cost £59 billion this year. A thread...

The headlines today will likely be dominated by the woeful state of the economy, but look past those headlines and the NHS is in a critical condition.

We need to put pressure on our politicians to address these issues.

Here are the stats to arm yourself with
