The mind boggles... how does a leading university produce a person like this? Oh wait, Boris Johnson... Calls for Tory aide to be sacked over 'enforced contraception' remarks theguardian.com/politics/2020/…

It is absolutely clear that Britain needs to go into full lockdown now like Europe without delay. The Boris Johnson Tory government’s response has been negligent and weak and is not ok.

All French schools in #london have taken the unilateral decision to close from Tuesday. Kids will be taught online. When will the UK Govt do the same with British schools? #toolate #coronavirus Guardian news #ActNow

Dropped son off #cfbl #london #lyceefrancais for last day before shuttering. School organising online lessons, #GoogleClassroom #zoom full organisation. Not great for the kids but a necessity during #coronovirus #SocialDistancing is necessary to protect people Guardian news

Hike statutory sick pay, consider universal basic income, subsidise threatened jobs, suspend mortgages and household bills. The alternative is to abandon millions of workers to extreme and intolerable hardship.

It’s time the government guarantees help for freelancers and contract workers set to be unable to make their monthly payments due to a total dry up of work/commissions. Mortgage defaults, utilities... the time to act is now #covidー19uk #coronavirus Boris Johnson Rishi Sunak

First day of #schoolclosure #schoolclosuresuk of son’s school - first schools to shutter in London. #cfbl #frenchschools As a freelancer I can work from home, teach son with schools help but am losing work. Still, created school timetable starting from 9am. #hope #prepare

Social distancing from my parents. Father has advanced stage4 cancer. Regular chemo hospital visits. Mother high blood pressure. Both late 70s. In London. They are high risk likelihood of death by #coronavirus Son already at home #schoolclosuresuk and I cannot see them to help

I’ll clap for every single person who works at the #NHS tonight. But they don’t need our applause. They need to be better paid to be able to afford to live in cities like London with better benefits and more help across the board. Tory #Austerity has been disgusting. #COVID2019

My dad, investigative journalist Martin Short, has advanced prostate cancer&we don’t know how much time he has. My mum in her late 70s has been nursing him. They live 4 miles away but I have only seen him just now at a distance. It is devastating. #dominiccummings takes the piss

So the white racist fascists at the cenotaph are drinking alcohol and throwing bottles at the police - Boris Johnson who are the violent thugs Prime Minister? Your lovely fan base? #BlackLivesMatter #justiceforall #equality

So everyone’s up in arms about Abramovich, and his corruption, and asking why didn’t Britain do something about before, seduced by the billions and star players. Fair enough - but Saudi murderer MBS owns Newcastle, surely a hell of a lot of worse. - theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…
