“He kept me alive for 18 years, so I’m going to get him through the next 6 months.” Peter Snow is in his 80s, he’s self-isolating after his son Dan Snow asked him to. As millions in the UK prepare to self-isolate we meet families trying their best to look after each other.

I have a disabled, vulnerable sister, not seen her since 15 March, she only lives 30 miles up the road. So I am seething, SEETHING, at this #DominicCummngs story. I'll carry on doing what's right because I know that staying home saves lives and I care about that.

#DominicCummings Kay Burley Matthew Weaver Laura Kuenssberg @huwbbc 1. No 10 saying they won’t answer further questions about Cummings Durham trip. We do not live in a totalitarian state. Please ask questions at Presentation today.

2. #DominicCummings He could easily have asked for police support if he felt family were at risk. Test drive to Barnard Castle is nonsense. Laura Kuenssberg Matthew Weaver Beth Rigby @huwbbc

Downing Street Daily Briefing Government was unable to reduce Coronavirus threat level below 4. Boris Johnson signalled on Wednesday it was likely to be reduced to 3, but the Joint Biosecurity Unit did not agree to this yesterday. Lockdown lifting goes ahead nevertheless

Rules may be open to interpretation. But here are three words which must retain their precise meaning, for our society to function at all, for us to trust each other: Integrity, honesty, responsibility.

George Floyd must not become just another name. His shocking death should be the catalyst for change. To build a better society we must stand together against racism and injustice.

In whatever form our parliament returns we must urgently as a global actor stand shoulder to shoulder with those in US who stand against hate & fear. We must move every muscle to ensure deaths, inequalities & brutality suffered by our black community is not ignored #icantbreathe

And third, a redoubling of efforts to ensure we have a fully functioning and effective test, track and trace system in place as soon as possible.

This is going to be a critical week for the country and a key test of the Government’s strategy. I would urge everyone to do their bit in the national interest by following the public health advice and helping to save lives.

It is heartening but not the attitude they applied to the #Windrush generation. I fear this is another example of discrimination between rich and poor. We should have the same standards for all

Sad to see unbalanced article in The Guardian today, focussing on wasted opportunities via parents of #dyslexic children winning at tribunals. Surely, the issue is that all children deserve an education that ensures they can read. theguardian.com/news/2020/sep/…

2. Also #dyslexia isn’t just about reading, especially for adults. No mention of how many parents scrape to pay for specialist tutoring beyond school because schools are not meeting their children’s needs #BDA
