@sainsburys Camden- terrible yesterday! Tills replaced with machines. Huge queues. 9 months pregnant trying to check out a trolley full of shopping on a tiny basket-only check out. Lifting bags up and down. Extortionate cost & 0 customer support. Shame.

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear @Spectator,

Let's talk about patriotism and duty to one's country. 79 years ago today, my American grandfather Raymond Meyerson stormed the beaches of Normandy to help liberate Europe from the Nazis. The generation of British soldiers he fought with returned home and created the NHS.

75 years later, we NHS staff fought through the pandemic ultimately witnessing 225,000 people die — including over 2,000 of our dear colleagues — as we protected this country from the greatest threat since WWII.

Real patriots step up for their country in its time of need. They do so with a sense duty to their nation. In my book, NHS staff fit that bill perfectly. What patriots don't do is destroy their nation's healthcare system, ruin people's lives, and exploit a crisis so they can get rich. Only @Conservatives would do that.

The Greatest Generation would roll in their graves to see how this militant, greedy, and corrupt Tory government destroyed the health system that their generation fought so hard to achieve. They would be horrified that NHS dentistry, general practice, and mental health services were gutted by this government's greed. They would be furious that the @Conservatives had intentionally engineered the worst GP, A&E, cancer, and outpatient waiting lists in NHS history at 7.3 million people long, all to push more patients into private healthcare. They would class this govt's premeditated assault on the health of this nation and their callous disregard for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people — all for their own financial benefit — as nothing short of domestic terrorism.

And I have no doubt they would back anyone who fought for it — especially striking NHS staff — because like @Harryslaststand, they knew what life was like without an NHS. They saw the horror of having to watch loved ones die because they couldn't afford healthcare.

Their enduring legacy is saving us from fascism and creating the NHS. Your legacy is burning it all down.

So to answer your question: "Have we betrayed the D-Day generation?" The answer is Yes. YOU most definitely have. But we NHS staff are still fighting to preserve what they fought for. And there's nothing more patriotic than that.

£400,000.

An obscene amount, isn’t it?

£2 for every life lost to Covid on Hancock’s watch.

I can’t stop thinking about my NHS colleagues who died - while trying to save others - because he failed to provide them with proper PPE 😔

@lastminute_com never ever using this company again. Booked a flexible flight with insurance and I needed to cancel within 24 hours of booking it and now I'm only being refunded 20% of the flight price. Daylight robbery. Shame on this company.

Tomorrow, Priti Patel will try to bring in laws even against single-person protests.

This undermines our freedoms and democracy.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Recently, quite a few people have told me
“I thought you were on our side”
“Turns out you’re a shill, after all”
“You’re such a let-down”
etc
So here’s an explanation of why I’ve disappointed some of you.

If, like, me, you're still reeling from that haunting 100k milestone, please know this:

In every single NHS hospital, there are the bravest, kindest, gentlest, most determined staff you could ever imagine - doing everying they can. For you 💙

Can we get 100,000 RETWEETS? Just one word

RESIGN

Boris Johnson says: “We did everything we could.”

No, he didn’t

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

"We will honour the selfless heroism of all those on the frontline who gave their lives to help others."

My colleagues didn't "give" their lives, @BorisJohnson. Their lives were taken - by you. Your failure to lockdown, to provide proper PPE, to close borders, to be competent.

[Trina Hill @TrinaHill_]

@curryspcworld really TERRIBLE customer service support. Phone operator was lovely but shambolic and ridiculous how difficult it was to get to speak to someone instead of being sent to the website and live chat that was unavailable and couldn't help me anyway with my query! Grrrr
