There are 3.7 million people in Britain who are clinically extremely vulnerable.
They do not matter less. They aren't second class citizens. Their lives should not be dismissed as expendable - least of all by a prime minister.
Most MPs would say few former ministers are as committed to public service as Nick Gibb, even when they reject his policies as incredibly long-running schools minister. So this is quite the condemnation of @BorisJohnson, in his favourite paper, @Telegraph
The smear made against Keir Starmer relating to Jimmy Saville yesterday is wrong & cannot be defended. It should be withdrawn. False and baseless personal slurs are dangerous, corrode trust & can't just be accepted as part of the cut & thrust of parliamentary debate.
to the point of rendering any conclusions meaningless. No wonder so many believe that the Met Commissioner has rescued Boris Johnson. This may all be cock-up rather than conspiracy, but an astute Met should have seen the cock-up coming and swerved it, arguably. The…

1,500 healthcare workers have died due to COVID in the U.K. alone since last year.
Not one of them “cowered” before the virus, despite all the craven failings of govt.
Utterly appalling.
@sajidjavid Cower from? Do you think people choose to be hospitalised, end up in icu, die even? What kind of a health minister suggests to the electorate they are cowards for not wanting to catch a variant that could make them seriously ill or even cause their death. Utterly revolting tweet.
@BorisJohnson Hypocrite says what?
Suggest you stay off Twitter today, Boris Johnson. A lobotomised haystack has higher intellectual credibility than you.
I am sickened by the racist abuse aimed at England players after last night’s match.

It must stop now and all those involved should be held accountable. W
