Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.
The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.
Please watch this 2min clip.
@Citi_ZenSane@KISSTrainers@implausibleblog I understand, but seems to me to risk real harm to a section of the population that's extremely vulnerable to extra pressures. The cost of those outside the means testing parameters is not worth harming those on the brink, no matter the timing.
Rather than have these unseemly disputes over which Labour minister can use these grace & favour mansions, let’s set a socialist example & use them to give respite breaks to unpaid carers or to some of the pensioners at risk of freezing this winter. https://t.co/EOnWdwpSvD
As Lee Anderson makes his big speech at the Reform Conference, it would be a shame if everyone was reminded of the time he lied to a journalist and got his mate to pretend he didn't know him.
So please don't share.

An incredible moment with Lee Anderson.
Anderson: Mass immigration has been forced on us
Me: What percentage of your community is not British born, then?
Anderson: It’s 96/97% white British
Me: So it hasn’t been forced on you then, has it?
Reform UK has invited Ant Middleton, who was imprisoned for assaulting police officers in 2013, bragged about ignoring Covid social distancing rules and described Black Lives Matter as “scum", to address its conference on "security" and "personal safety".

Oh.
"...the Speaker's Office and Parliament's security team have dismissed his claims, saying they have no recollection of telling Mr Farage that he should not hold in-person surgeries in his constituency."

Trump: I don't think I've ever said this before. So we do these rallies. They're massive rallies. Everybody loves, everybody stays till the end. By the way, you know, when she said that, well, your rallies people leave. Honestly, nobody does. And if I saw them leaving, I'd say, and ladies and gentlemen make America great again and I'd get the hell out, ok? Because I don't want people leaving. But I do have to say so I give these long sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs but they all come together. I do it a lot. I do it with raising cane. That story. I do it with the story on the catapults on the aircraft carriers. I do it with a lot of different stories. When I mentioned Doctor Hannibal Lecter. I'm using that as an example of people that are coming in from Silence of the Lambs. I use it. They say it's terrible. So they say so I'll give this long complex area for instance that I talked about a lot of different territory… You know, for a town hall, there's a lot of people but the fake news likes to say, the fake news likes to say, oh, he was rambling. No, no, that's not rambling. That's genius. When you can connect the dots. Now, now, Sarah, if you couldn't connect the dots, you got a problem. But every dot was connected and many stories were told in that little paragraph
Superyacht and private jet tax could raise £2bn a year.
Richest 0.1 per cent in Britain emit 22 times more pollution from transport than low earners, and 12 times more than average.
Polluter must pay.
Also need wealth taxes, higher VAT on luxury goods.

@PeterStefanovi2@BBCNews Honestly, call it what it was: a con, a grift and a pack of lies created by a bunch of right-wing zealots with no clear goals other than those which served them as individuals. Why be 'delicate' about the cynical deception?
You’re right: no one should be trying to kill your father. Political argument is for the ballot box. But you mocked and joked about the grievous hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul. How would you explain that to the former Speaker’s grandchildren?
