Shell's obscene £32,200,000,000 profits reminds us it's not a cost-of-living crisis because there's not enough wealth.
It's a cost-of-living crisis because the super-rich have hoarded all the wealth.
What is so striking is how many conservative mps are still talking about what is “ best for the party”. It’s a real give away - that party still seemingly comes before country and constituents and democracy.
Also, maybe Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram all going down at once is a good wake-up call that one company should not have THIS much power and control and influence over all of us, right?
I don’t get the “debate” surrounding Matt Hancock. He’s now openly admitted he broke his own rules. So either the Government formally adopts the position “we don’t have to abide by the rules, but you lot do”. Or he has to step down. It’s that simple.
If anyone has any luck getting refunds out of @Ryanair for Portugal flights this weekend please spread the good word of how you’ve achieved it! Unless @FCDOGovUK change safety advice on Portugal, not eligible to refund despite same government moving it to #amberlist
@BenkersBen@Telegraph Thanks for all your work @BenkersBen - can’t see much suggestion on the original “watch list” idea or at least a 7 day window from traffic light change to implementation which @grantshapps said in May would be used to avoid the mental rush home everyone experienced before?
@PPaulCharles@SOSTravel3 With the insane need to pay for 3 private tests to travel to/from green countries (pre-dept from UK, pre dept from green country, post return to UK) do you have any news on the cost of PCR dropping significantly or not required at all for fully vaccinated travellers?
Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the university of East Anglia, has said his team is releasing a paper later this week which shows the Pfizer vaccine has an efficacy of 91% 21 days after the first dose.
(BBC News)
One dose of Oxford vaccine:
- 76% efficacy against symptomatic covid after day 22.
- 100% effective at stopping hospitalisations after day 22.
Two doses of Oxford vaccine:
- 54% reduction in transmission
-Antibody response stronger after longer interval between dose.
My 77yo dad was lucky enough to get the #pfizer#vaccine tonight with 1 hour’s notice from the GP. They said so many don’t turn up to their appt they go down the street and offer to passers by otherwise have to be thrown away. Pls encourage family members to turn up!! #CovidUK
