That is stupid and illegal. Can police please step in here and take driving licences away from Gove and Cummings and any other government fools who parrot this shite.

[David Baddiel @Baddiel]

Please, please, please can one of the journos say to him, "But...having a small child not at school, and one parent being ill...in a pandemic...is *not* exceptional circumstances. It's really fucking unexceptional."

We told you. We told you that prancing around on VE Day and unofficially declaring lockdown over would have consequences. 17 days later. Here we go again. 😔

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

This is astounding. Certainly blows away the ‘people here won’t ride bikes’ argument.

There is absolutely no reason this can’t be so in other major cities across the UK. If we choose to enable it. And right now is the time to do so. There will never be a more appropriate time.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

They are not open and there is a huge amount of horrible fake news circulating on here by those who prefer culture war rather than trying to help. The first 4 medics who died on the front line were Muslim so perhaps a bit of thanks to that community wouldn't hurt.

If @grantshapps seriously wants UK citizens to use cars less, he will have to persuade @grantshapps to reduce the UK's road-building programme. https://t.co/y2bgPeym8q

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

This picture perfectly illustrates just how much space we’ve given over to cars. Now, as people try to social distance during #COVID19, everyone is realising it.

My partner, the doctor, rolling her eyes: tell them I don’t want their claps and cheers during a pandemic, I want them to stop voting like dummies for sociopaths who don’t want them to have decent healthcare systems at all in the first place

[Jon Owen @anotherJon]

Let's do this.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

The Trump campaign seriously just issued a cease and desist for this ad so I'm doing my part and sharing it as widely as humanly possible.

[Jen Offord @inspireajen]

Not wanting to shit on anyone's picnic, but I think clapping for the NHS is a bit fucking redundant if you're also going to continue voting for a party that's consistently underfunded it for the last decade. Show your appreciation with your ballot box, next time.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

When the Corona crisis is over, we’ll remember there’s something infinitely worse & more destructive hanging over us: the threat to our planet. If we can lock down for a disease, can we not work together to do what’s necessary to save ourselves from the coming disaster?

While you should only use your bike to exercise once a day, you can also use it to:

🏪 Shop for basic necessities
❤️️ Provide care or help somebody vulnerable
🏥 Travel to/from essential work

“Alleging patient data is anonymous when it isn’t, then selling it to drugs and tech companies, is a gross betrayal of trust.”

Chilling stuff.

The govt is selling ‘anonymous’ NHS patient data to US pharma.

Except it isn’t. It’s you - sold for profit.

There IS no "Australian" deal to contrast with Canada.. the negotiations got going in summer of 2018 still ongoing and btw include common environmental regulations - as usual Johnson dim and lazy about basic homework; not a PM more a living waffle

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

The strategy for Johnson is clearly to keep in a constant state of battle. He needs grit in his oyster, without it people might realise he's just expensive slop.
