As we look back today on a year since the first lockdown, #TeamCroydon nurse, Chloe Kerwood, shares a poem written to say that we were there to care for, comfort and hold your hand when #COVID19 kept families apart from their loved ones in intensive care #dayofreflection

The numbers in this piece are shocking:

- 2 in 3 nurses working overtime to pay bills
- 30% rely on borrowed money for essentials
- 4 in 10 have skipped meals to feed their families

The government's 1% pay increase is an absolute disgrace – pay our NHS workers properly today.

2) The #B117 is serious. It is not only 40-60% more contagious, but also more severe. And it also might be causing kids outbreaks worldwide. Italy 🇮🇹 is just one. Israel too.

Six cases of P1, which originated in Manaus on the Amazon river in Brazil, have been identified in the UK. The variant is worrying scientists and public health experts because it has mutations that could allow it to escape the vaccines currently available. https://t.co/6SIDLsGiTX

The Prime Minister said there is "no credible route to a zero-covid Britain"

The UK has had 46,751 covid deaths so far in 2021

Deaths in countries with a Zero Covid plan so far in 2021:
Australia - 0
Singapore - 0
Vietnam - 0
New Zealand - 1
Taiwan - 2
Thailand - 19
China - 51

This speech by the PM shows he hasn't learnt the lessons.

Refusing to go for an elimination strategy that's worked so well elsewhere and allowed safe reopenings.

Forcing 10m staff & pupils back to school at once.

Nothing on new financial support for those isolating.

Reckless.

Boris Johnson has said that the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi is a clear violation of her human rights. Would that be the same human rights denied to Julian Assange, who has been not been convicted of anything, but is still held in high security Belmarsh Prison? #Hypocrisy🤮🤬

What's socialism?: The NHS

What's capitalism?: What the Tories are doing to the NHS

At a time when the government has no clear plan for delivering second dose vaccines, leaving the country vulnerable to virus mutations, we’re told the AstraZeneca vaccine should be fine if those having it get a third, new, dose by the autumn. Why not just use something better?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

It is outrageous that people are still not protected from unsafe cladding, years after the Government promised action.

Those responsible for these buildings being dangerous must pay to make them safe, not those living in them.

Imagine getting £20,091 PER DAY for 3000 years. That’s how much money has been given to Dido Harding to run a track and trace system that nobody even talks about any more. In one sense it truly is world beating.

The fastest way to end the #COVID19 pandemic is to make safe and effective #vaccines available to everyone on the planet. Tell pharma to pool all knowledge, intellectual property & data together for the benefit of all. #EndCovidEverywhere https://t.co/cB3wOYTQJg

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The Prime Minister has just claimed his Government "did everything we could" to minimise Covid deaths.

The Prime Minister is trying to con you.

From delaying lockdown to the PPE failings, Serco Test & Trace and the schools fiasco, it has failed repeatedly to do the right thing.

[Mrs O @akaMrsO]

If UK doctors know that giving the #Pfizer vaccine should be according to the manufacturer’s guidelines then surely #bma and their ethics (best interest of their patient) should prevail and they should follow the 21 days for 2nd dose #PfizerVaccine

[ARTIST TAXI DRIVER @chunkymark]

The UK has the highest Covid death rate in the entire world and the
Tory media... “Glory Glory Boris Johnson”
