People who say - authorities should take statues down after discussion. Yes. But it isn't happening. Bristol'sbeen debating #EdwardColston for years and wasn't getting anywhere. In 2018, it was agreed that statue would bear a plaque noting his involvement in the slave trade. BUT

[Labour Tenants United 🌹🤝🏡 @LabourTenants]

Generation Rent have compiled a thread detailing the situation for renters across the country during this pandemic.

Renters need a bailout package and Labour should be the party to push for it.

Important info for anyone concerned about the "Brighton & Hove" r - number. It's misleading. You can't have r - numbers for small areas like a single city, here's why: https://t.co/4FUjrr4t5i

"Schools should not go back, shops should not reopen and workplaces should not re-start until it is safe."

Well said @HackneyAbbott ⬇️

[Brighton & Hove City Council @BrightonHoveCC]

We're worried that too many people are on the seafront making it hard to maintain safe physical distancing.

We're also hearing that some people are not using the public toilets. It's not nice... 🤢

🙏 For the time being please stay away from Brighton & Hove.

Two week’s sick pay:

🇬🇧UK £191.70

What you’d get if you lived in:

🇦🇹Austria £651
🇩🇪Germany £651
🇧🇪Belgium £605
🇸🇪Sweden £417
🇪🇸Spain £273

Statutory sick pay in the UK isn’t enough to live on while self-isolating.

For NHS Test and Trace to work, we need decent #SickPayForAll

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

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.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

This valuable thread is an incisive critique of how the Sunak support schemes are failing so many & bringing about severe financial hardship & stressful insecurity within our society.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

The reason the Government didn’t want this published? It shows in black and white that they insisted on fares rising above the cost of living, restricting free travel for older people, raising the Congestion Charge, and scrapping free travel for under 18s.
