At the moment that photo of No 10 was taken, I was in a ward where 42% of us were dying. The PPE was not fit for purpose, some of it was 2nd hand and had blood on it. At the outset, I couldn't get tested anywhere. First half of 2020 was a govt-led crime.
I'm a postman and there was a guy on my delivery who died of covid last winter. His car still sits on his driveway. On the back seat sits his work bag stuffed with his flask and uniform ready for work. It brings a lump to my throat everytime I walk past it.

The young and the Left climb the stairs, knock the doors, leaflet and persuade. Without us, our organising, our social media reach, our affiliation monies and our feet on the ground - Labour will not win. Solidarity with @YoungLabourUK
Monbiot is the only journalist in Britain using a mainstream platform to shine a light on this dangerous attack on fundamental freedoms of our democracy. This is the state of Britain today. And the press is asleep at the wheel.
@JolyonMaugham This is how Amber Rudd got a job at Equinor. She told Acoba that as Energy Minister she never had dealings with them. She *did* have dealings with Statoil, who changed their name to Equinor.
"It will now be hard to attend a protest without committing an offence. We can be banned if we have “contributed to” a protest that was “likely to result in serious disruption”. Serious disruption could mean almost anything, including being noisy." https://t.co/03IuhPa7p0
