America is no longer a democracy. I'm watching videos that are making me feel sick. For Donald J. Trump to declare martial law is one thing. For law enforcement officers to enact it against unarmed, peaceful protesters is almost as appalling.

We've written to Matt Hancock regarding the updated #shielding guidance which was announced over the weekend, and the implications for people affected by #bloodcancer. Here's what we had to say:

One rule for us.... #BlackLivesMatter

All we want is clarity

Doesn't it do your head in when a small number of people who think the rules don't apply to them & take pleasure from acts of wanton destruction undermine the efforts of the majority? BBC News - Boris Johnson: Anti-racism protests 'subverted by thuggery' bbc.co.uk/news/uk-529607…

Utterly and completely shameless

There have been some truly under qualified SoS for Education over the years, but Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP truly takes the free school meals biscuit. #FAILED

Our #HJHeroes Blood Cancer UK has seen its income drop by one third, with #fundraising events cancelled due to #COVID19. Gemma Peters explains how you can help & please spread the word: bloodcancer.org.uk

This is why BBQs are banned on Marsden Moor. It only takes a stray coal or a dropped match and hundreds of hectares of important habitat can be destroyed. #bemooraware If you see a fire, call 999. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service West Yorkshire Police

We’re not all in this together are we.....

30 years ago. Same same. Quite remarkable really that little has changed in 3/4 of my lifetime in terms of the voices heard screaming into the void. Probably the only difference now is that social media means the void is bigger and the voices can be anonymous.

Boris Johnson happily believes the public has now completely forgotten the report into Russian interference in UK politics publication of which he suppressed last year RT and let him Know he’s wrong #ReleaseTheRussianReport #StillWaiting

What happens when you allow your papers to print hate speech in 60 point font every week of every year and these views are amplified and endorsed by the Prime Minister and his hateful fan club of ideological racists? Simple. Divide and rule. Works every time when you allow it.

Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Company Accounts show c£103M profit over last 5 years, but paid ZERO UK corporation tax. The tax he should have paid, would give every kid on free dinners 3 meals a day for the full summer holidays with plenty of change.

Have read. You'll almost certainly learn something. Be more Peter Norman.

Even if I'd had the means, I'm not sure I would have had the courage or wisdom at his age to do what Marcus Rashford is doing. Retweet below. Trust me, it's not hyperbole to say that kids are going hungry every day in England. Don't forget, they're kids & it's NEVER their fault.

I try to learn something every day. I feel a lot richer for having watched this beautifully simple film and reading a little about Matt's uncle, Peter Norman. If, like me, you're feeling overwhelmed by the seemingly growing injustice in the world, watch this to recharge.

Marcus Rashford has written a powerful column for The Times: calling on MPs to U-turn, and reinstate free food vouchers for kids who will just not eat this summer without them. He sounds more statesmanlike than our statesmen: thetimes.co.uk/article/ending…

This is how they to get you. Continue to pedal the "Schools are closed" line whilst expanding the key worker list, then make unveiled threats around funding for our youngest children. Several schools I work with have more than 50% of roll in school. #edutwitter #ToryLies
