"In essentials unity, in non-essentials diversity, in all things charity.”

[Chris Lowndes 🇺🇦🕊️🇬🇱 @chrislowndes]

I really can't ridicule the incompetence of the UK government over post-Brexit trade enough

Remember the phantom Seabourne Ferries debacle?

Well, the latest example is a tale of utter incompetence, phantom shipping companies and the Great UK Tomato Shortage of 2023 🧵

.@poferries shocking sacking of hundreds of workers is unacceptable. This is no way for a household name to behave. You must pay workers the compensation they deserve - no stings attached.

.@BorisJohnson @AlokSharma_RDG it’s great that countries are agreeing to come back next year with more ambitious commitments - but there’s still plenty missing from this COP26 deal. Can you fight for vulnerable nations to have more of a voice? #COP26

It feels like everything is spiralling completely out of control & we've got these ejits at the top looking as if it's absolutely nothing to do with them.

Franklin Graham has doubled down his support for Trump. Even after the attack on the Capitol, he says Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. It’s long past time to stop supporting @SamaritansPurse as long as Franklin is in charge. There are many other great ministries to support.

We’ve secured almost 4,000 pieces of IT equipment so that disadvantaged children and young people can learn at home.

We’re proud that Kirklees is leading the way with this vital support.

If you are wondering why this country is in such a shocking state, please remember that for most of the past 11 years it has been run by former members of the Bullingdon Club.

@Sarcasticluther Thank you for saying that. It is depressing to fall apart after suffering Covid. I no longer recognise myself. I was always the helper.

[Kirklees Council @KirkleesCouncil]

Kirklees remains in Tier 3 restrictions, but COVID-19 infection rates have increased in the borough over the festive period and our Director of Public Health is urging everyone to stay safe this New Year. https://t.co/rv8iAilXEl

I can't help but think it should be Prof Sarah Gilbert, the actual expert overseeing the Oxford team who developed the vaccine, whose face features in these announcements.

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

'The government should use January to make schools safe.'

On the subject of schools, Independent SAGE chair Sir David King says the committee is calling for a 'clear strategy'.

He says it's not 'too late' to put a strategy in place.

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

'We believe a delay and tentative decision making will result in the deaths of tens of thousands more people.'

Independent SAGE chair Sir David King explains why the committee is calling for England to go into a full national lockdown and how long is should last for.

[Kirklees Council @KirkleesCouncil]

From 12noon tomorrow (18 December) rapid COVID-19 tests will be available for anyone without symptoms, who lives or works in Kirklees, as we roll out community testing. Play your part, get tested: https://t.co/4BnAKKWVKL

.@BorisJohnson, this isn’t a game!

Delays to food and medicine imports will put our lives and livelihoods at risk. In these conditions, #NoDealBrexit would cause huge suffering.

Please act now to stop this disaster.

Please extend the #Brexit transition period and do a deal.

I know son, but we do now control our own fish.

Those who claim the Nazis were socialists, on the grounds that "Nazi" is a compression of National Socialist, doubtless also believe that shepherd's pie is made of shepherds, and cottage pie is made of cottages.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Been thinking a lot about this.

Are we really saying we’re all comfortable with giving the highest-paid £50 off their restaurant bills but not giving the lowest-paid any access to statutory sick pay nor help to self-isolate?

Don’t know about you but I’m not.
