Remember when we helped people isolate at home, made sure they had enough sick time, even arranged for food delivery? For a moment there, I thought we were gonna adopt a national sick leave policy and start caring about each other's wellbeing. Boy was I wrong.
🚨Dr Barry Jones (CATA) at #CovidInquiry:
“It was defined as aerosol transmitted from the very moment it came in to the country, it was an airborne highly consequential infectious disease. As indeed SARS1 & MERS were & still are.”

So Kemi Badenoch, whose party has spent weeks attacking Keir Starmer for registering use of a flat from a party donor, has been secretly using the flat of another millionaire donor, currency trader and Tufton Street think-tanker to run her own campaign https://t.co/iXlS9msCIB
Kay Burley's work clothes are paid for by Sky.
In 2017, she received a wardrobe allowance of nearly £30K.
One assumes she receives much more today…
Her salary is three times that of the Prime Minister.
Quite the fucking hypocrite isn’t she.
@lizslayed@alicelowe@LouisStaples My entire adult life men have shouted insults at me across the street completely uninvited. They take any opportunity to make you feel like shit. If you reject their advances they go from flirting and flattery to "yeah well you're an ugly fat whale anyway".
@lizslayed@alicelowe@LouisStaples First year of uni one of my housemates persuaded me another of our housemates fancied me and I should make a move. I liked him a lot but it was all some shitty practical joke at both our expense. The housemate texted him "bad luck". I went home and cried. They laughed.
@alicelowe@LouisStaples I still remember friends who were dating in high school and she wasn’t conventionally attractive and his male friends bullied him until he eventually broke it off. It’s so sad.
@virginmedia@NetflixUK Totally incompetent. Signed up in June, still not received my TV box. 4 phone calls to chase it. I've received 3 remote controls, still no box. Empty promises to call me back, to issue a refund, to expedite delivery... all total BS.

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.
For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.
Staff are devastated.
"We're protecting our community"
"We thought no Conservative leader could do worse than John Major in '97 - well Rishi Sunak, congratulations, you've pulled it off."
@lewis_goodall on just how devastating the exit poll is for the Conservatives.

Glued on wood panelling and faux brick walls are going to be the textured wallpaper and artex ceilings of the future. Future homeowners are going to curse you as they're prising that fake fitted wardrobe off the wall. Just saying.
My new podcast #DeadRiver is out - a story about the destruction of the natural world & obliteration of community in the name of profit. It’s also about the power of environmental law in holding polluters to account.
Listen to the first 2 episodes now where you get your podcasts.
We finally have it, the truth.
@Ofwat tells select committee @CommonsEFRA it can't use all of it's legal powers to regulate water companies as it would force them into bankruptcy.
So we let them blatantly and deliberately pollute the environment. 🤬🤬

A lot of folk don’t realise that many surgeons and other specialists are willing and able to undertake extra clinics and operation lists in the NHS
The problem is that the NHS won’t pay for them
Instead it pays the private sector £12b per year to do the same
Tory priorities!
