@DriveInsured Seems to be working okay now though, thanks

[Alison Parr @Wooloomooloo]

Hi @DriveInsured - I’ve been trying to call you for 3 days, but your “Phone lines are currently closed for a company-wide briefing.” The message says to call back in 2 hours - and has done for the last 3 days. I need to speak to you. When can I do that please?

[Alison Parr @Wooloomooloo]

@DriveInsured Thanks. Was calling 01908 830001, which I found in your website

@MarinaPurkiss Gove saying that this was costed out by Treasury Civil Servants - is this allowed? Using CS for political purposes in election campaign?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Not once over the 13 last years has your party cared enough about patient safety to "enforce minimum service & safety levels."

I've seen patient die in horrifically understaffed conditions for years - in corridors, on the floor, in toilets, in cupboards. Yet you've done nothing.

The Queen is lying in state, not the Queen’s coffin @BBCNews (poor @CliveMyrieBBC given bad script on News at 10)

As we've said repeatedly, the Church of England’s opposition to deporting asylum seekers without any kind of assessment or care is not because the destination is Rwanda.

We would oppose such heartless treatment wherever people were sent.

Dear @thetimes

Can you please tell me why my print copy of today’s paper is different to the epaper on page 5?

The story about the PM trying to get his now wife appointed to a top job when she was his mistress has been swapped to ludicrous claims about EU judges.

[Jennifer Blair @SqueakinglyJen]

I myself have wondered why refugees didn't stay in European countries and have travelled on. So I asked them.

[Alison Parr @Wooloomooloo]

@pritipatel This is revolting @pritipatel . You should be ashamed.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

To justify its “cruel & inhumane”policy to send migrants to Rwanda Boris Johnson’s Government is saying the vast majority of people coming across the Channel are economic migrants & not asylum seekers.

THATS A LIE👇

It’s unbelievable that an international coalition which could find 130BN dollars a year for Afghanistan when fighting there, cannot find 5 per cent of that amount to prevent millions of Afghans from starving. @SkyNews

Dropping isolation makes work & socialising riskier & boosters are waning, covid keeps evolving & it's harder to know about local case levels.

Basically govt plans that we will all get covid several times - like a cold but with a much more dangerous disease.

Not science based

[Robert Peston @Peston]

No one in or around SAGE and Nervtag is aware of any scientific advice given to the PM that the requirement to isolate for those infected with Covid19 should be terminated from end of the month. “It’s politics, isn’t it” is a typical reaction

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

We still have super high infection levels across England - is this really the time to say "yup, self isolation no longer needed"?

@LlamaBusiness What the pinking hell is going on??!!!

[Alison Parr @Wooloomooloo]

What is going on with the cerise #lordsumption #Newsnight He’s so pink!!

The day last month that Johnson announced a Covid Plan B would be activated in Englan, 161 deaths and 51,342 cases were reported.

Today 439 deaths and 94,326 deaths were recorded as Plan B is withdrawn.

[Alison Parr @Wooloomooloo]

Isn’t the point not the seriousness or otherwise of the breach of the rules, but that @BorisJohnson has lied repeatedly to UK Parliament. Absolutely spot on @EmilyThornberry
