Important message from a journalist who, sadly, cannot speak out because of his contract of employment.

This is cancel culture…
Facts and decency are not party political issues. Anyone has a right… the duty to speak up for them especially when people in power break them !

He can comment on human rights in Qatar whilst presenting the BBC’s coverage of the World Cup but he can’t comment on the state of his OWN country’s government for himself.
How does that balance up, then? https://t.co/BhovYHJqg9

WTF? *Please* BBC, stop capitulating to this cynical, divisive, populist Tory Government - stop letting yourselves be used to stoke these culture wars https://t.co/zwlymnRhbv

As Tories remove Gary Lineker from our screens & sideline Richard Attenborough - Orlando Fraser (ex Etonian son of a Conservative MP & Charity Commission Chair) threatens charities, telling them to rein in “inflammatory rhetoric” challenging Tory refugee policy.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

As a strong supporter of public service broadcasting, I want to be able to defend the BBC. But the decision to take @GaryLineker off air is indefensible. It is undermining free speech in the face of political pressure - & it does always seem to be rightwing pressure it caves to

Alastair Campbell: Don't be a bystander. We all have to stand alongside Gary Lineker - The New European https://t.co/HNQ6Xrrt15

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Such is the backlash against @BBC that fans may chant in support of @GaryLineker today. BBC’s handling of situation is calamitous. No presenter, pundits, comms (nb world feed), possibly no interviews as players/clubs show solidarity. BBC so scared of No 10 they harm a great show.

An excellent way to connect with the younger generation and inspire them to look at a diverse range of occupations. Have done several sessions both live (pre pandemic) and virtual and had great fun doing the sessions. Worth while volunteering!

[Inspiring the Future @InspiringTF]

Teachers! 📢

Because of you over 200,000 children have made connections with volunteers from the world of work this school year 🙌

Your tireless efforts to promote careers-related learning are incredible - thank you for working with us to #InspiretheFuture ✨

Utterly nothing.

I can't think of a single sector of life they've improved.

Everything is worse.

Apart from the profits of all the industries they've privatised.

The profits have gone up.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I wept when I read this. Thank you ⁦@MichaelRosenYes⁩ for telling the truth with such devastating power. https://t.co/nZYojtX6Rj

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I really don’t know how to say this more plainly, @sajidjavid.

Severely ill patients are being treated OUTSIDE hospitals, in the backs of ambulances, because there’s NOWHERE for them to go inside. Now. Everywhere. On your watch.

This is deadly serious stuff. Do you not care?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Our current Covid hospitalisation rates are 3x those in France, 6x Italy & 15x Spain.

We have nearly 7000 gravely unwell Covid patients in hospital.

Do these people not matter?

Nor the thousands with long Covid?

Nor the children off school because case are sky high?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Today we've topped 40,000 new cases of Covid - with multiple hospitals on black alert, patients in corridors & ambulances unable to offload patients.

@10DowningStreet's "vaccine-only" response (no other mitigations) makes us a global outlier.

It is staggeringly irresponsible.
