sporadic tweets from a Kentish spot with two great pubs (but no shop), sailing club and a lake (you can't walk round). NOT to be confused with Chipstead Surrey

The UK has reported a Covid daily death toll of 1,564. That's more people than died on the Titanic. This is what that many names looks like.

There are no ITU beds in the valleys. So you might be 23 and invincible if you get COVID but what if you crash your car? Or a friend takes an overdose or a parent needs emergency surgery? Guess what! No beds for you either. And THAT’S how this affects everyone. Rant over.

Thinking of meeting friends in West Kent for NYE? Think again: every ICU bed in MTW was full every day from 20 Dec to 27 Dec. Chances are if you catch covid and need an ICU bed who will have to travel elsewhere for one. Situation also tight at Royal Surrey, SASH & East Sussex.

If, like the British Government, you big up a new strain of Covid to place London and the South into a newly-devised tougher Tier 4 then you can hardly blame the French for saying Zoot Alors! Let’s close the border for 48 hours til we work out what it all means.

For those wondering why France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland and Germany have banned travel from the UK, but the EU as a whole hasn't -it's because EU member states are sovereign and make decisions independently of each other. #BrexitShambles #BrexitReality

This chart shows the Covid-19 admissions for the Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone NHS Trust (Maidstone and Pembury hospitals) if you are wondering why Kent is in Tier 3 and the biggest concern is the pressure on the NHS across the whole of Kent this is the chart for you – at Sevenoaks, South East

People suggesting we should use excess deaths as the metric to drive real-time epidemic response is the equivalent of a fire safety inspector only asking ‘has the building burned down yet?’

Powerful figures just released by Labour. Of the 20 areas under local restrictions for 2 months, all have now seen significant infection rate rises. They haven't worked.

This ‘you can bend the rules if you have particular childcare issues’ defence: in Cummings’ case, that was preferring not to look after his own kid. Single parents have been on lockdown for weeks. Nurses have isolated from their own families to protect them.

This is the moment that accountability finally disappeared from English politics.

Ouch! Trust a doctor to tell you the painful (and disgusting) truth about Boris Johnson and the NHS. Thanks @xandvt. #GetJohnsonGone

Opposing a no deal is not "surrender". This is the language of Europe's dark past. It implies Britain's European allies & neighbours are enemies. I refuse to believe the majority of British people think this is the case.
