⁦A lively ding dong between me and ⁦Nick Robinson⁩ for 40 mins. We disagree politely and but you can hear how annoyed he makes me! 😂 Well worth it to hear a little of my backstory and what I think is important for children to succeed. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Devastating critique by Prof Angus Dalgleish….”Whitty is hysterical, out of his depth & has to go”

Reminder: the Cabinet no longer makes decisions. The Cabinet is merely asked to rubber stamp the decisions of the quad. They are not given the data, just the summary. And sometimes Ministers are kept on "mute" in these calls so they cannot ask questions. That's not democracy.

Your daily reminder. The UK is in a strong position. We have a huge amount of immunity, both from natural infection and vaccines. Spanish flu fizzled out with a weak variant. No need to panic! Let the vulnerable be cautious while the rest get on with it.

Shit just got serious.

If the masks, social distancing, quarantines, travel bans, avoiding loved ones, self isolations, track and trace, mass testing, lockdowns, vaccines, boosters, closed schools and businesses and vaccine passports still didn’t set us free, what will? What will ever set us free now?

Hilton Holloway Frost/Brexit one of few reasons many who voted Conservative in 2019 have stood by Boris (though gritted teeth). That excuse no longer pertains.

These people have such incredible arrogance. The EU is a legal and political union and we respect that. But they need to damn well recognise and respect that we are an independent and sovereign Nation State. We rule ourselves. End of. reuters.com/markets/rates-…

Prediction: Boris will go for political survival ahead of more covid restrictions he doesn't believe are necessary anyway. I could be proven wrong very fast, but the mood in the parliamentary party is extremely febrile. High stakes indeed.

Given the huge amount of scientific evidence & data AGAINST any lockdown restrictions, any "experts" still calling for lockdown are openly going AGAINST the science. So why are they demanding it? What is their real agenda? Why do they want to lock up healthy people? Ask them.

If you vote for politicians who promise to give you other people's money, don't complain when they give your money to other people - or, indeed, when they take it for themselves.

Exiting a shop last night I held the door open for a woman coming in, she mumbled something about being capable herself.. so I just walked past, if she sees this... your not special, I'd have done the same if it was a bloke, or even a dog... its just manners.

4 years ago I tweeted'My response to the (weird) greeting 'Happy New Year': 'Thank you but I pay absolutely no attention to the 'New Year', an empty moment which I associate with the former USSR's (failed) attempt to abolish Christmas'. 4 years later nobody has actually read it.

Embarrassingly predictable & cringingly-childish israeli-envoy starts name calling Emma Watson for expressing solidarity with #Palestine bit.ly/31n8paD

This is brilliant.

Every single one 😂😂

I am prepared to listen to a wide range of views about the lockdowns. But I draw the line when broadcasters (or Labour MPs) who spent two years screaming for harsher restrictions now have the gall to turn around and complain about the suffering that was inflicted.
