Dear Tobias Ellwood, We’re not soldiers. We didn’t sign up to die for a cause. We don’t want red arrows, medals, jingoism or war rhetoric. We want masks, gloves, gowns & visors. Could you actually focus your minds on that, please?

Highly significant that the two wealthy western countries with the worst problems of social inequality and deprivation - the US and UK - have accounted for nearly half of all global COVID-19 deaths to date.

How do you explain a National Park Authority fighting side by side with off-road motorists against the National Trust, UNESCO and hundreds of thousands of people who love the #LakeDistrict and want to protect it? x.com/i/lists/959819…

This must not become the new normal. x.com/i/lists/959819…

The #LakeDistrict has been a #WorldHeritage site for three years. So why doesn’t the LDNPA do what UNESCO asked them to do: eliminate recreational motor vehicles on the two green lanes near Little Langdale? #takebackthetracks

Hi all, Exciting news: for this week’s twilight CPD we have secured the services of edu-celebrity, author and mentor to the stars, Tarquil Furqhuarson. He will tell us what we are doing wrong and what we need to do to improve. We will do it for 2 weeks and then ditch it. Thanks x

An excellent idea Lake District . But may we remind you that trailbikes and 4x4s on fell tracks - near Little Langdale and elsewhere - are particularly polluting and have other negative externalities as well?

There must be some mistake, I was assured that children can’t spread it.

1) A thread A tale of two PPE suppliers. The company set up on 12 May 2020 by an associate of a Conservative Peer. The family business in Knowsley, with over 50 years proven track record. One was given a contract for £122 million. The other was given the run around.

Paying for sex with free school meal vouchers doesn't happen. Paying for sex by giving your girlfriend's tech start-up £120,000 in public money certainly does.

Just a thought, but as older unfit men are most likely to be hospitalised, perhaps they should be solely isolated. This would have the benefit of getting Bojo and Gove et al out of circulation. #lockdown

Why on earth are we STILL having to explain that the utterly abysmal test and test system is NOT NHS run. It’s actually managed by a group of private companies who have been paid billions for their failure. Please RT if you think everyone should know.

Unrelated to the election, I might get a lawyer to reach out to all my running races, reassess my performance and see if somehow I actually won them... #TrumpMeltdown

One day they’ll be gone. Sure they’ll be writing columns for the Telegraph and publishing tedious memoirs and presenting documentaries about kings and railways but they’ll be gone. The whole relentlessly incompetent and vile lot of them will be gone. And it will be a good day. 🥃

Liam Thorp We gone and left the EU by Mistake!!! Can we come back in...?

An excellent letter in The Times today: why does the Lake District think it's OK to let fell track motorists ruin the #WorldHeritage site - against clear advice from UNESCO and the National Trust?

I’ll study #Latin when these #tories study something useful like #science or #moderndance
