If #BorisJohnson is a clown then #PritiPatel is Pennywise

@MandisiNkomo I don't think it's unintentional. Zuma is smart, and the response was initially well co-ordinated. He's probably sitting in jail right now doing the clap

Told my fiancee about an amazing film on the rise of a new god in a post apocalyptic world that highlights the animalistic nature of humanity. Filled with love and betrayal.

Now I get to watch Godzilla 3: planet eater today. Happy valentines day.

Sho! A heartbreaking example of end of life care during COVID.

This damn virus. Even when it's not killing its causing pain.

Today I cried in court. I was watching 3 lovely, articulate, passionate young women (the older 2 just out of their teens) come to terms with the fact that their Dad was going to die. Doctors believed that continuing life-sustaining treatment was not in his best interests.

@Medact Sure.

I've had patients and organisations supporting migrants tell me they are afraid of test and trace because of immigration enforcement.

[Medact @Medact]

🚨BREAKING: Today over 140 organisations call on the Government to do more to ensure access to the vaccine for undocumented migrants.

🚫Guarantee NO data shared with the Home Office

🏥End NHS charging

🗣Ensure everyone knows their right to access care

It is not enough to just allow access to GPs, there needs to be publicised protections in place. A decade of hostile immigration policies has destroyed trust.

We're now almost literally in a Lord of the Flies situation where some on the island are saying kill the sick and the old and let's be done with it. By the way, they're the same people saying they are pro-life, against death panels & followers of Christ. We live in amazing times.

The coming economic crisis is a political choice, as so many of them are. There is enough wealth in the world to stop it from happening, if even a part of that wealth was redistributed. It is a conscious political choice not to do so, framed in the language of inevitability.

Everytime

If you’re wondering why @realDonaldTrump suggested injecting people with disinfectant to cure #COVID19 (or shining lights into their bodies) - it’s because he’s stupid. Mystery solved. Remember he also wanted to stop a hurricane by nuking it. Dumb as a brick. Comically stupid.

Poor and blockaded Cuba not only has better health indicators than the United States, but its international medical efforts save thousands of lives a year. We should be applauding the Cuban health system — and learning from it. https://t.co/O5GNrIG4ps

We have a crises of HIV/TB, interpersonal violence, non-communicable diseases, maternal/child mortality, and now COVID-19. Equity and justice in healthcare is long overdue.

It's funny how politcal talk of 'herd immunity' dissappeared really quickly once the elite started getting sick.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

"I’ve been frustrated with this language of social distancing because it seems to imply that we’re only going get through this if we turn our backs on one another — and especially turn our backs on the people who are most vulnerable," says @ErikKlinenberg: https://t.co/gq95zNf0Ii

[Simon Marcus @SiMarcus89]

The ability to safely social distance is a luxury. https://t.co/epnO9UYmKi
