@ruskin147 So happy to see this beautiful dog settling so well. Thank you for sharing the joy.

This is a fabulous thread. If you are thinking of supporting a children’s charity over Christmas, please consider those listed here. Inspirational.

[Roman Kemp @romankemp]

Please can you point me in the direction of lesser known children’s charities? 👍🏻

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@C4Ciaran @Channel4News Stunning - thank you @c4ciaran and @BBCSteveR

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@HamishSHunter No contest! Josh and Donna.

Very disappointing to see @Eurostar trains won’t be stopping at Ebbsfleet or Ashford for the foreseeable future. Will have a significant effect on local communities and would have relieved congestion at st Pancras.

[Katy Austin @KatyAustinNews]

Eurostar has confirmed it can’t commit to services stopping at Ebbsfleet or Ashford International for another 2 or 3 years - so potentially until 2025.

Its trains haven’t stopped in Kent since March 2020.

@DanatTheMJ Long overdue!

I’ve written a piece of music and called it Isolation. It's how I’m feeling right now. @BBCNews @BBCWorld @BBCRadio3 @BBCSounds @BBCRadio4 #Russia #Ukraine

@BBCSteveR @susannareid100 @BBCNews @BBCWorld @BBCRadio3 @BBCSounds @BBCRadio4 Well you aren’t isolated. I carried it on for you from England and introduced some cautious optimism. Stay strong. We can stay connected. 💪

@AliJaneMoore I’ve had three false positive LFTs in the last year (all different batches and 2 different brands). All followed by negative PCRs.

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@AliJaneMoore Blimey!

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@John_A_Wade That’s fabulous. Do you know where this is?

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@AliJaneMoore @7OaksBookshop Another one to read, if you haven’t already, is Song of Achilles.

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@timspector I have had 4 positive LFTs and 2 negative PCRs. Work that out! 🤷‍♀️

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

Child at home with #Covid (+ve #PCR). I’m #asymptomatic. I had 2 +ve #LFTs yesterday but negative PCR today. 2 negative LFTs today. How comes? To #isolate or not to isolate?

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@SimonFParker Pleased to have been of service. Hope it goes well!

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@SimonFParker He claimed to have been approached. His doctor is reputed to have said on his death he died of ‘being William Morris and doing the work of 10 men’ - so how to summarise a life like that into a short talk??!

[Sarah Whitney @SarahJ_Whitney]

@SimonFParker He almost succeeded Tennyson as poet laureate?

If you’re in any doubt about whether to have the AZ vaccine, this excellent graphic may help you make up your mind.

[Alexandra Freeman @alex_freeman]

Our graphics to illustrate the potential benefits and potential harms of the AstraZeneca vaccine as announced by the MHRA this afternoon.

Benefits accrued over 16 weeks, at three different levels of exposure to the virus.

@standardnews True. We are in a race against time to get this vaccine out. We can’t rest on our laurels about the 14m we are going to vaccinate by mid Feb. Offering all adults vaccination by sept is too little too late. We have to double down and find a way of doing more faster.
