@EmmaMBearman @snoopfish perhaps you (or Mini Jon) could help?

We love the NHS, they said.

NHS staff are heroes, they said.

NHS forever, they said.

All the whole quietly siphoning huge tranches of NHS care into US corporate hands.

This is the most difficult article I have ever written but it’s the most important. It’s a tribute to my father, who passed away recently with COVID-19. And it’s for my mother, who has been hospitalised with it https://t.co/bzAVOzlbi0

This is a deeply depressing decision - even for this Government.

We are now a country which turns away vulnerable refugee children - putting them at grave risk of trafficking.

The Tories must reverse this heartless, cruel decision.

[Baroness Mary Bousted @MaryWBousted]

Data from the children’s task and finish group shows that they primary pupils are 3x and secondary pupils 7x more be the first in a household to be infected with COVID and 2x more likely than any other family member to infect others.

What are our options to exit the UK pandemic?

Compared to 2020, we have new tools (vaccines) and we have new challenges (mutation)?

We also have a years worth of international experience to look at.

So what’s the best way out?

Hundreds of vulnerable people are being held in prison-like conditions in the #Napier and #Penally barracks.

People must urgently be moved to safe, decent accommodation. Lives are at stake.

Call on your MP to ensure that these barracks are closed - https://t.co/KSQdZe7y8i

Some ideas post Covid to make the world better for children & young people. Massive funding boosts to:

youth sport
holiday camps
uniformed groups
youth clubs & workers
playgrounds
libraries
Sure Start type centres
food for hungry

We could call it ‘reverse austerity +’.

Astonishing fact the UK has suffered more Covid deaths in 24 hours (1,041) than Australia has since the START OF THE PANDEMIC (909)

What a monumental failure

[John B. Holbein @JohnHolbein1]

Can you guess what happens when you provide homeless people with housing?

...
...
...

You reduce crime, increase employment, improve health, and do not increasing reliance on social benefits.

80% of costs are offset by the benefits in the first 18mos.

We keep being told that #teachers are NOT at increased risk - “they” said that about drs & nurses in the #firstwave.
It simply does not add up that workers surrounded by children (esp teenagers) for many hours in crowded indoor spaces without #PPE are not at increased risk? 2/

@a2__1t @AdamHartScience @MichaelRosenYes @POETSorg 3 years on and it still doesn't feel like it.

As a heavy reader of journal articles, it's my duty to warn people away from sci-hub, a safe and convenient pirate website hosting academic research.

Please avoid this incredibly valuable free resource by not searching for "where is sci-hub now"

THIS is happening TODAY: a @HouseofCommons debate that could seal the fate of child #refugees for the worst. As ever, little ones are writing in to their MPs in the hopes humanity on THIS side of the pond will win... #LordsAmendment4 #DubsAmendment #AhmetsFriends
