Appalling. Not enough. Not good enough. And what are you supposed to do if your child doesn't like apples? Give. Parents. Money. They will buy food their kids will eat. They will stretch every £ as far as it will go. Parents in poverty are really good at this - they have to be.

The furore over whether people in poverty can be trusted with vouchers reminds me that, over the years, I’ve come across many people, some in low waged jobs and some, for various reasons not working. A thread about poverty, taking responsibility and budgeting. 1/n

Beware vaccine scammers trying to take advantage of you #RBWMtogether

Hi 👋 I’m Julia and I run EveryDoctor Frontline NHS staff are being given 1 vaccine dose. That’s only a partial vaccine course. Every frontline healthcare worker needs 2 doses NOW to protect them and their patients. It’s an emergency 🚨 Please RT to support NHS staff🙏💙

Brilliant! Thank you for your commitment and hard work. Enjoy some 💤 now!

IMPORTANT: We have heard that NHS Trusts+CCGs are being instructed to bin waste doses of vaccine (left over at end of day) instead of using these doses to vaccinate NHS staff with second doses. This is terrible. We will ensure that this reaches the national press EveryDoctor

Can I please get a thousand billion likes and retweets for my amazing mum who has today come out of retirement to vaccinate the lovely folk of our home town Leigh. My legend. 🌈⭐️Delia Sharrock Clarke GPN RN @WiganBoroughCCG NHS England Gavin Oattes Richard Osman Sir Stephen Fry @shaunwkeaveny

If you think that NHS staff should receive full COVID-19 vaccine courses (2 doses) immediately, please RT this👇 NHS staff are not currently allowed 2 doses. Not even staff who are shielding with medical conditions, who want to return to their frontline jobs 😮 Please RT 🙏🚨🌟

Redundant tech wiped, prepped and delivered to schools. What a fabulous initiative! (What the Government can’t the community can! 👍)

To those talking a lot about feeling ‘controlled’ No one is keen on wearing masks. No one is keen about needles in their arms. No one is keen about hanging out on their own. We’re all taking one for the team. Because otherwise many more people are going to die. #COVID19

Well said Helen Barnard on #Newsnight the biggest decisions are for those at the sharp end working out whether to heat or eat.

Firstly, the government have not prioritised ‘vaccinating’ millions of healthcare workers. They have partially vaccinated healthcare workers, and they did so under duress Secondly- Vaccines do not prevent transmission; the necessity for self isolation after exposure remains.

The Environment Minister, George Eustice has approved an emergency use of a bee-killing pesticide, but we need to remind him that we’re in the middle of a climate and nature emergency! Sign this petition to protect bees: act.gp/2XQQ4NP

So positive that the #CoronavirusVaccine priority group includes frontline social care workers and staff in #SupportedHousing. This will help keep vulnerable residents safe and allow these services to continue providing support at this critical time: england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/pu…

This is the most important video I've ever seen.

Not everyone is familiar with the role of community safety in housing. Did you know that we're qualified to tackle domestic abuse? We're often someone’s first point of disclosure. And we work with some fantastic partners to support victims: bit.ly/3vS7REa DAHA
