I always find #children more interesting /intelligent a group than any other-maybe the really old. I learned more about #Hamlet's 1st soliloquy from a group of 10 yr old boys who had never heard or read it before I gave it to them-then any master seminar on it. #ChildrenOfCovid

You have literally GOT TO love her.

Can anyone from @bbcnews explain why this is the lead story online - and not the fact that a High Court judge just ruled that the health secretary Matt Hancock broke the law in his awarding of multimillion pound PPE contracts? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-561276…

“What first attracted your friend, a pub landlord, to the opportunity to make millions of pounds making PPE for the NHS, something he’d never made before?” BBC asks Matt Hancock “I don’t know...” About time, the national media asked the questions we need a public inquiry for

"What planet is he on? We had nurses in bin bags because they didn't have PPE" Labour's Jonathan Ashworth reacts to comments made by Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who told the BBC "we never had a national shortage" of PPE bbc.in/2P0M4sJ

Government says "affordability" is the key when it comes to health service pay, knowing they are a workforce who will mostly do the job whatever the pay rise. Was money no object with private sector PPE contracts because they were motivated by profit, not service?

Important to note that Test & Trace is privately outsourced, and not NHS as claimed here. Which may explain the £37 billion cost and lamentable performance to date.

The evaluation of our community connector scheme highlights the need for home visits, targetted outreach and 1-1 in order to reach and engage isolated older people connecthackney.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Our projects for older people with learning disabilties found high levels of isolation even before the pandemic. More funding and attention must be given to this issue - key findings now online connecthackney.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
