Yesterday was generational, brilliant and moving. I have tried to encapsulate the weekend here - and what it meant to me, you, our forefathers and this city.

I would really appreciate your eyes and time as I was up until 2am writing it.

Yes, we should be angry with Dominic Cummings for breaking rules the rest of us had to abide by.

But we should be even angrier at the avoidable deaths of tens of thousands of people because of the catastrophic strategy pursued both by him and the Prime Minister.

[Jon Snow @jonsnowC4]

On 30th March we all got the same letter from the PM:
“I give you one simple instruction- you MUST stay at home" (concluding with)”These rules must be observed.”

Was the policy advisor who crafted these words Dominic Cummings?
Perhaps we should be told.

I love this man so much 💔 What a kind and wonderful human being 🦢@ProfNoelFitz

[Noel Fitzpatrick @ProfNoelFitz]

On route to the next interview in Dublin this afternoon and we came across this poor confused fella who was stuck in the middle of the main road. Having experienced many Swan rescues down the years I knew I could help... mission accomplished...now happy and safe at home x

@NicoleMorleyPet Thank goodness.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

What an utter disgrace the British media is. A super privileged bloke whips up bigotry against Muslim women, his brother and sister have columns defending him, he’s then rewarded with a viral clip of “journalists” going weak at the knees at his contrived patter. Pathetic.

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail Can you please tell me why nobody from customer services has got back to me regarding the numerous complaints I made after suffering heat exhaustion on one of your services?

@GC_Rail You’ve put people in danger in this heat. You’ve been aware that your facilities aren’t up to scratch for months and STILL packed passengers onto broken trains. Heat stroke is incredibly dangerous for the elderly and children. But as long as you get your money who cares @GC_Rail?

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail This whole situation could have been avoided if it had been addressed properly by @GCRail months ago. Instead, hundreds of people have suffered inhumane conditions and lengthy “replacements” and paid ridiculous prices for the privilege. Disgusting.

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail I got heat exhaustion 2 hrs into the 8:06 KX service this morning and have been vomiting uncontrollably since. The train guard told me that they’d been complaining for months about the broken air con in several carriages

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail I moved to a cooler carriage now but the damage was obviously already done. I’ve now been continuously sick in the toilet for the last half an hour due to the heat in the carriage. Thanks Grand Central 👍🏻

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

No air conditioning AGAIN @GC_Rail. Absolutely disgusting conditions. Do any of your trains actually have working air con? The man opposite me genuinely looks like he might die. #toohot #justiceforrailpassengers

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail No, I think it’s just coaches C and F

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail The 8:06 from King’s Cross to Sunderland. We’ve had some warm water handed out to us but the heat is awful and it’s getting worse 😫

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@Just_JanisB Hi Janis!
I was wondering if you could help me with some more info about Middle Dock Engineering? My Great Grandfather was a managing director from around 1900 - mid 20s. His name was Andrew McFarlane and this pic shows him in the upper right corner. Thank you! Fay x

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail But thank you.

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

No air con for the THIRD time travelling with you in the last few months @GC_Rail. If I haven’t lost at least 3 stone by the time I get to King’s Cross then there’s really no joy or hope in the world at all is there? #grandcentralrail #melting #onfire

[Fay Brown @fay_brown]

@GC_Rail I’ll see how many pounds I’ve lost at the other end then consider my options 💅🏻
