It finally happened. After 3 and a half years of avoiding it I finally got covid for the first time... ... and it was awful. 🧵

Covid is on the rise again in England, just as schools go back next week. Cleaner indoor air will reduce infections *and* improve learning. Govt should have done much more to improve air quality over last 3 years, but schools should check out these resources below from SAMHE.

you’ve got to say Bob Geldof saying “Russell Brand, what a cunt” at the NME Awards in 2006 was remarkably far sighted #Dispatches

Stewart Lee called it a long time ago. #Dispatches #RussellBrand

Going to stay off twitter today because it's triggering. Just going to say to all the white men here going 'we believe in due process & fair trial by judiciary'- what f*ing world do you live in? When has the judicial system or police ever done justice to women who've been raped?

Brand, although no doubt a monster, isn’t daft. He knew all this shit would come to light. So what did he do? He appealed to the stupidest, morally vacant section of society and made them his disciples. If you’re reading this and agree with him - then it’s you that’s a twat.

Waiting for my booster vaxx, hardly anyone wearing a mask, someone make this make sense???!!

Gove was the lead for the Cabinet Office during the initial phase of the pandemic. Here he is saying it was not fit for purpose. This is massive. And in terms of culpability, lays much of the blame for the terrible UK response at the door of the Cabinet Office.

Johnson will take the view that there was uncertainty and evidence was changing and advice was changing…better to be seen as indecisive than reckless. But I caution anyone willing to take the dithering PM as a defence to think carefully He set his stall out very early… 1/11

On Newsnight I was asked what I thought the biggest mistake Johnson's government made during the acute phase of the pandemic. I only got to give one answer, but if I'd had time I would have said: 1. Johnson missed 5 COBRA meetings. Didn’t chair his first one until early March. 🧵

Sunak is putting more money into deporting 500 asylum seekers than he is into preventing a health crisis affecting millions of U.K. citizens Let that sink in… A publicity stunt is more important to our govt than the lives of its citizens!

Michelle Mone on #bbclaurak I remember a year ago when I spoke to some journos about why they weren't printing material about her, and they told me they'd received threatening letters from her lawyers. I decided to start tweeting about it anyway, and I'm glad I did. They've
