Amazing! As we go through the proper processes to try to secure small subsidies for our small business it seems we'd have been better off becoming a PPE supplier (experience apparently not required). Although this would have meant cosying up to Liz Truss or similar so perhaps not

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

No one would argue with putting in place local action to reduce the transmission of coronavirus.

But announcing measures affecting potentially millions of people late at night on Twitter is a new low for the government’s communications during this crisis.

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

@mark_lj Oh that makes me think of pyroclastic flows 😀

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

This is a massive scandal, perhaps the biggest so far under this government.
The secret, under-the-counter contracts given to really weird companies to deliver PPE and other pandemic services.
It needs more exposure.
Please RT and circulate. Thanks.

@lensdistrict Hope it goes well today. Be interesting to see how busy it gets. Will have a watch of this a little later too!

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

@Nigel_Cooke @mark_lj @chewyuk We have been building up a business here for the last year so that's the focus for the moment but maybe in the future. Iceland, and before that Hong Kong, both seemed to have a common sense and practicality that is missing here. Things feel very broken at the moment

[Stuart McGlennon @lensdistrict]

Wee morning RT for this ICYMI yesterday - Vlog no.4 from Haystacks with me trying not to die in the heat 🤣 and a bit of critique thrown in as well

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

@Nigel_Cooke @mark_lj @chewyuk Having returned from living overseas for 11 years can very much understand how you feel

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

He's getting good at these!

[Stuart McGlennon @lensdistrict]

New Vlog - If you like your misty woodland this weeks latest offering has just gone live, was treated to some superb conditions give it a watch if you have 10mins 👍

Morning folks, Vlog 2 from Crummock Water is now up on YT 👍 this image was a great little find, can’t believe I’ve walked past this spot so many times without looking at it properly 🤦🏻

A very enjoyable first video from Stuart! Crocs aside....

[Stuart McGlennon @lensdistrict]

First one is up 'ont Tube right now - go see a man not ironically wearing crocs in 2020😂 (and hopefully some nice scenes from Wastwater)

Agree totally with Jake. Anyone counting how many lies and broken promises this now makes it from this government?

[Jake Humphrey @mrjakehumphrey]

My wife and I come from farming families. British farmers and British people need protection.

- Protect animal welfare
- Protect the quality of our food
- Protect our health
- Protect our children
- Protect our future

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

So much winning! And Boris proud of the response? 🤦‍♂️

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Yesterday the UK, population 66 million, had more deaths from #COVID19 than the *entire* EU, population nearly 450 million.

Not even @10DowningStreet can spin that fact away - it is utterly, irredeemably damning.

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

Hi @CopelandTories, would you mind asking our MP Trudy Harrison for the evidence she mentions in her email to me regarding eye strain and Covid-19? Also why is it relevant I know how nice Dominic Cummings is? Also it was 60 miles BOTH WAYS or 20% of his journey. Facts matter

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

Meanwhile the equivalent of a large passenger plane full of people has died from covid-19 in the last 24 hours and Boris wants everyone not to meet indoors when it rains. Have I mentioned how inept this lot are?

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Let’s put Jacob in charge.
What could possibly go wrong?

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

Are we surprised at this point? They're a bunch of liars. The only thing giving me a glimmer of hope is that they seem to be badly misjudging the public mood on this

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

OMG. This is too much. Dominic Cummings amended his blog to include a warning on coronaviruses on the day he returned to work after *the eyesight drive*

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

Somehow managing to sum things up perfectly in the limited room provided by a tweet

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

What a shitshow this all is. Highest death toll in Europe. Economy on the floor. Quarantine for international travellers months after the horse bolted. School re-opening in disarray. A nation snooping and spying on each other. And now this circus. Where will it end??

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

#BOOFORBORIS on Tuesday at 8pm is fine with me too

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

I have an idea inspired by the healthcare workers in Belgium who turned their backs on their PM. How about after our Thursday #clapfortheNHS we then #turnourbacksonboris for a minute. We may not be able to protest in groups but we can still send a message to these clowns

[James Long @jamestomaslong]

@winterrosephoto Done the same for the first time this evening
