To put this in context, MPs and ministers want to give low-value damage to a statue a higher maximum sentence than:

- dangerous driving
- assault occasioning actual bodily harm
- inflicting GBH
- controlling & coercive behaviour
- affray
- violent disorder
- voyeurism
- theft

Mum's a doctor. She shared this explanation of #ViralLoad. This is the most useful explanation of why some ppl suffer MORE from #Covid19.

It's not JUST about age, underlying health issues but ALSO no. of ppl you're in contact with which is why #SOCIALDISTANCING.IS.SO.IMPORTANT.

🛑Usman Khan was released under a sentencing regime which no longer exists

🛑Johnson’s manifesto says not a single word about current Extended Sentences.

🛑The minor changes he has proposed to automatic release would not have applied to Khan.

Exploitative, dishonest, cynical.

This guy stole 3 laptops in N London this afternoon. One is my daughter's with a huge presentation which she desperately needs for Monday. Any help in identifying massively appreciated.

It's really disappointing that this @BBCNews story does not mention @WarwickBoar who broke the story and pushed the University to react. Yet to see the documentary which I hope does better to recognise the fantastic work of student journalists https://t.co/FEnBnhuSpj

@Eurostar Thank you for replying. 90 minutes is even later than the information on the boards here. Your staff are dealing with this delay badly. I will be claiming compensation.

[Mark Scodie @MarkScodie]

@Eurostar Hi, why has the 17.01 London to Paris been put back by 1hr 14 minutes and why are there no announcements or explanations being offered at KX please?

[Mark Scodie @MarkScodie]

@TLRailUK now you have cancelled all MH trains altogether. Thanks v much

[Mark Scodie @MarkScodie]

@TLRailUK your website journey planner does not work. It said 9.28 from MH southbound was on time. Got here, 16 minute delay

[Mark Scodie @MarkScodie]

@TLRailUK 9.12 still not here. The next TWO trains seem to have been cancelled. Hundreds of commuters here waiting. What is going on?

[Mark Scodie @MarkScodie]

@TLRailUK 9.12 to Sevenoaks from MH is running 14 mins late. Your staff don't know why, no announcements or apology. Plse explain the delay?
