I don’t want to see your Captain Tom tweets if you don’t understand that it’s messed up a 100 year old man had to walk laps of his garden to raise money for an underfunded NHS, to then be venerated by Tory MPs who made his charity necessary in the first place.
Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.
It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.
Today is a good day.

What incompetence. What failure of governance. Boris Johnson can't blame Theresa May, he can't blame John Major, he can't blame judges, he can't blame civil servants, he can't sack the Cabinet Secretary again. There's only one person responsible - him. Me in the Commons today:
This is shocking. Absolutely shocking. It might be the worst thing I've read a European state do since the Syrian civil war began. Utterly illegal and barbarous.
The largest recession in the G7, the highest excess death rate in Europe, A-Levels in meltdown, unemployment rocketing, catastrophic Brexit imminent and *government ministers* are shouting at ice cream on Twitter.
Freedom of movement for EU and EFTA citizens has reduced from 30 to 29
Free movement for UK citizens has changed from 30
To 0
Why are you celebrating that?
Can we not go crazy this week? The virus is still out there. Still 8,000 infections a day, still 300+ dying a day, Test and Trace still needs time to get going. This is no joke. The virus is still brutalising the lives of many of us. Let’s take things slowly and with care.
Thing about a crisis like this pandemic, it is genuinely not a question of partisan politics - the crisis is either handled well or it’s not. A country like New Zealand has handled it well. We, with the highest death rates IN THE WORLD, have not. That’s just a fact.
It's just an avalanche of lies from No.10. The act itself, the story about it, the claims of fake news, the complete reversal of the lock-down messaging, and now even the silly details of his blog posts. They are functionally incapable of telling the truth.
