Boris Johnson just realeased a 5 min video in which he denounces BLM protestors for “flouting social distancing,” why didn’t he condemn Dominic Cummings, or the VE Day street parties, or the packed beaches? How dare he.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

When the right talk about “going back to normal”, they mean low-paid workers going back to service jobs where they can’t social distance and middle class people continuing to work from home but with an expanded range of leisure activities.

Have these two ever clapped before? I don’t mean for the NHS, I mean like in their entire lives.

One month ago Priti Patel said anyone earning less than £25k is an “unskilled worker” & can’t enter the UK

NHS starting salaries:

Nurse £24.2k
Paramedic £24.2k
Midwife £24.2k
Radiographer £24.2k
Care assistant £17.6k

But now the government is clapping for them...

Once upon a time the Conservatives claimed to be the party of small businesses.

Now, they're the party of 'advising' rather than ordering the closure of pubs, restaurants and clubs so big insurance companies can avoid paying out. Small businesses will go under because of this.

It's nearly 17 years since the war in Iraq started.

4,500 American service members killed.
Tens of thousands wounded.
Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed.
Trillions of dollars spent.

All of that suffering. All of that death. All of those huge expenditures of money. For what?

The killing of Qasem Soleimani, one of the most powerful men in Iran, is a huge escalation of an already dangerous situation in the Middle East, threatening to trigger violence from the Gulf to the shores of the Mediterranean | Analysis by @TimListerCNN https://t.co/J1KynsiZxz

Vote Labour.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Boris Johnson will sell-off our NHS, and that’s the tea.

#VoteLabourToday

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

So there we have it. The Tories want to carve up and sell off our NHS to the Americans, spike drug prices by £500 million a week, and slash our food safety standards.

That’s what’s at stake in this election.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Oh. My. God. Jeremy Corbyn is holding a press conference revealing 400 pages of unredacted documents exposing the NHS is on the table in US trade talks

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

Wow. The man telling me I deserve to be racially abused because of how I tweet is actually a @Conservatives councillor in Ipswich.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It’s only when we talk about acting on climate do some ask,“how are you going to pay for it?”

As though climate inaction doesn’t have a price tag.
As though the Midwest didn’t flood.
As though California isn’t on fire.
As though 1000s didn’t die in María.
