#Mansfield #Woodhouse #Warsop Are you a local charity or community group who’s looking for volunteers to respond to the Coronavirus situation? m.youtube.com/watch?v=01pQEE…

.Michael Gove said just now that the difficulty in increasing number of #COVID19 tests was due to a shortage of the relevant "chemcial reagents". Well I've just talked to the Chemical Industries Association, which represents the UK's very substantial chemicals industry. It...

has contacted its members, and they've said there is no shortage of the relevant reagents. So the Association has now been in touch with Michael Gove's office to find out what he means, because it is stumped. The Association also points out there was an industry chat with...

a business minister today, who made no attempt to find out if there was a supply problem for the vital ingredients of Covid19 testing kits. So this question of why there aren't enough tests for the virus is an even bigger mystery. Also, if it turns out there is a shortage...

these manufacturers are more than happy to increase their production. But they need to be asked, which has not happened. PS It was Labour MP Bill Esterson who initially spotted this gap between what Gove said and what the industry believes to be true.

We all have to pull together to get through this crisis That's why firefighters will now be able to use their expertise to fit face masks for NHS and care staff treating coronavirus patients and deliver vital PPE and medical supplies We stand together lght.ly/a81598i

Government failure to get a grip on this situation means children are going hungry As Rebecca Long-Bailey says "This isn't something that can be the subject of an inquiry in a year’s time, action must be taken now to make sure food reaches all those children and families that need it”

It is damning there were no gowns, visors, swabs or body bags in the government's pandemic stockpile when Covid-19 reached us. Many people on the frontline still aren't properly protected. We need an emergency plan to manufacture and distribute PPE #PPENow bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-…

Our posties are on the front line of this crisis, putting themselves at risk to keep our country going. From everyone at The Labour Party, thank you for everything you’re doing. #PostalWorkersDay

Today is Postal Workers Day and it is right that we pay tribute to the fantastic work of postal workers across the country. I also call on Royal Mail to ensure workers have proper #PPE and an end to the delivery of advertising mail. #PostalWorkersDay

If you’ve been told to go into work tomorrow, know this: everyone has the right to work in safety. And you have a legal right to refuse to work if risks are serious and imminent. If you’re worried, talk to your union, ask your employer make it safe, or contact the Health and Safety Executive for help

PM has just said “I’m not giving you a deadline right now. I have been forbidden from announcing any more targets” By whom? He’s the *actual prime minister*

It was March 11 when we put out our first Covid-19 trajectory chart, which highlighted: • UK already on same course as Italy w/ confirmed cases doubling every ~3 days • UK trailing Italy by more like 2 weeks, not 4 as stated by Vallance the next day • The data was right here

Caroline, I work in a food bank & when I make a “child parcel” I have to choose between 1 (one!) chocolate bar or 1 (one!) tiny pot of jelly for their “treat item”. Demand has soared this year and we never know if we’ll be able to fill next week’s bags. This country is a disgrace

We have just had our patio done and my 6yo has loved going out and helping the builder, so it made his day to receive this. What an example of kindness 😊

Mansfield District Council's Chief Executive Hayley Barsby is warning residents there now needs to be urgent action to suppress infections if the district wants to avoid spiralling towards extra measures and restrictions. mansfield.gov.uk/news/article/2…

We'd like to reassure you that this is categorically untrue. We are proud to offer the poppy in every community in the UK — we always have been and always will be. Do let us know if you have any questions or concerns or if there’s anything else we can help with.
