I am a Humanist and a Socialist who believes in collective responsibility. I also feel that politics no longer works and needs to be turned on its head.

@BorisJohnson You have risked my life this week whilst I have been working through this crisis by forcing others back to work making it busier for me on my buses to get to my carework.

You have me an 8 year pay freeze last decade with your voting record and now you plan to freeze my pay again

@piersmorgan I really don't believe this idiots logic its scary !!!!!

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

You have the worst death toll in the world too, Mr President.
If you’d done no testing, those people would all still be dead.

WATCH ! WHY
We need a full PUBLIC INQUIRY into the UK response to the coronavirus crisis.

1.The UK worst-hit European country, suggesting systemic failings.
2.Herd immunity’
3.Dropping contact tracing.
4.Inadequate TESTING
5.Failure to Supply PPE
6. Disproportionate BAME deaths.

This is nonsense from Brandon Lewis. Young children are not going to be able to stick to social distancing when interacting at school. It’s a difficult situation but he’d get more respect if he just got real rather than trying to put blame on teachers

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The coronavirus crisis is far from over.

It's simply wrong to send homeless people back onto the streets.

Right now they need emergency support.

But after this crisis we can't forget we all but ended rough sleeping overnight. We can end it for good.

"Interest rates are currently so low that even a doubling of the UK’s debt would still mean the Treasury pays less to service this debt, as a share of tax receipts, than any other time in the 20th century"

So riddle me this Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis believes in order to halt Coronavirus, we should send children back to school en masse “and help them understand good hygiene". Got it. What could possibly go wrong.

UK has slid into an insidious and stinking cesspool of hate. Tory voters/far right hate towards teachers is abhorrent. Trying to cover for a government that let 55,000 citizens die. Only tested 2% of population. Lie to public constantly. Now want to risk our kids?! #RotInHell 🤬

@mikelloyd05 Also, because you have handed in your notice you may not qualify for Universal Credit. ?????

A bit of light relief, though there is obviously a message too....

Work sets you free

[PoliticsJunky @PatefieldAndrew]

@Socialist_Chris You big meany, making children do house work and other chores. How utterly terrible. I'm joking, make them work hard for there treats and walk.

[Chris, he's had a think @Socialist_Chris]

If I was paying someone to clean the house and not ensuring that my children do their fair share of the housework, I would genuinely feel like I'd failed them as a parent.

Probably just me. I'm a bit mean.

I wonder, if in 10 years time after the Tories have signed a comprehensive trade agreement with America selling off British Sovereignty, allowing America to set our Trade/Env Law & Standards there mantra will be Take Back Control.

[PoliticsJunky @PatefieldAndrew]

What is really shocking is the fact that the Tories can perform as badly as they want because the British people gave them such a big majority that it will take Labour at least 10 years to overcome. The Tories can do what the hell they want.

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Johnson mustn’t be allowed to politically distance himself from today’s crowded buses and other public transport in some English cities. The PM will be to blame if the plague spreads when he’s sending particularly lower-paid people back to work

[dave ❄️ 🥕 🧻 @mrdavemacleod]

really shocked that the PM who was sacked from The Times for lying and sacked from the cabinet for lying and then did quite a lot of other lying has been asked to correct what he said in #PMQs because he was [ checks notes ] lying
