ā€œThey’ve had a good innings.ā€ @BorisJohnson’s casual contempt for Covid’s most vulnerable victims - care home residents, the elderly, disabled & immunosuppressed - is the most disgusting aspect of his pandemic response. As a frontline palliative care doctor, it repulses me.

It was 10 years ago today that I got the keys to my office and what an unbelievable decade it has been. I’ll forever be grateful to my clients who knew they would be safe in my hands and to my amazing family and friends for being my cheerleaders. Here’s to another 10!

ā€˜Leaving drinks were essential for work purposes,’ says Boris Johnson during the worst of the pandemic and breaking every rule the majority lived by. That was to stay at home, social distancing, wear a mask. When the pandemic broke, I made a Will on my 38th birthday.

Today we expect to hear the government outline their plans for ā€œlearning to live with covidā€, which include removing the legal obligation to isolate, removing free community testing and (potentially) scrapping the ONS infection survey. Here’s why I think this is a bad idea: 1/20

Reported Covid deaths are always artificially higher on a Tuesday. But still - another 439 deaths reported today. How - *how* - has dying on this scale from a single disease been so utterly normalised & ignored?

Two weeks ago we had 59k new cases of Covid. Today we have 183k. And the prime minister is doing absolutely NOTHING about it.

ā€œ.. up to 50 people who were in attendance at the alleged partyā€ It took me HOURS to decide which 29 other people could attend my husband’s funeral last year. A masked, socially distanced, fully legally compliant funeral. Vile arrogant scum.
EXCLUSIVE: Boris Johnson's Director of Communications made aĀ thank youĀ speech and handed outĀ awards at the Downing StreetĀ Christmas party on December 18Ā which is now the subject of an internal investigation, ITV News has been told. itv.com/news/2021-12-09/bori…

Thank you @TimesRadio and @StigAbell for letting me try to explain how furious people bereaved by covid are today
"We just feel absolutely sick at the sniggering and the smirking." Fran Hall, whose husband died of Covid, asks why No 10 were able to have a Christmas party when there were "people dying on their own in hospitals". @AasmahMir | @StigAbell | @CovidJusticeUK

As our managing director is from a large military family, Remembrance Day has special meaning for her and we all spend a lot of time putting our window together. The Royal Navy flag for her grandparents, Para and Royal Marine flag for her cousins and the RAF flag for her uncle.

Another 214 Covid deaths reported today. That’s 1190 in the last 7 days. And not even so much as a mask mandate šŸ˜”

We spend hours every year creating our Remembrance Day window display. It is the least we can do to commemorate the brave men and women who kept, and continue, to keep us safe. #RemembranceDay2021 #Marines #Paras #RoyalNavy #RoyalAirForce #Army

Five Things I’ve learned since my world fell apart, by @FranFD1.
Proud sponsor of Oxford Pride again this year. As the only female owned funeral director in the county & by a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, we want everyone to feel safe and included. Happy Pride month everyone and remember.... 🌈🌈 Be You. Be Individual!! 🌈🌈

I’m so proud of @FranFD1 and all the volunteers for doing this. When the news and briefings talk about ā€˜the numbers,’ those numbers are people. Each ā¤ļø is a person who has died because of covid and after a week, they still aren’t finished. I hope every MP sees this.
A hand-painted mural with a ā¤ļø to signify each loved one lost to coronavirus has been created. Fran's husband Steve died after contracting coronavirus, just three weeks after they got married. She tells #BBCBreakfast what the mural means to her. bbc.in/39BlUnO

I signed up to do a couple of hours on Monday and have been here all day every day - it’s extraordinary, important and desperately needed, people passing by have been moved to tears. Come help if you can

The Memorial Service Company website is now live! This has been a labour of love for @LCoulbert to provide completely free information on how to arrange memorial services without the need of a funeral director. She hopes you find it useful.
