Anyone else a teeny tad concerned about the voter ID..even if you agree with ID Cards ( which I don't) can't they think their money is spent better elsewhere than trying to stop virtually non-existent voter fraud. You know..improving peoples lives maybe?

It's essential to be able to continue to hold virtual meetings. They improve accessibility to local democracy from all walks of life. We risk local government being paralysed. I support Mumsnet's campaign for urgent legislation to allow local councils to keep this option.

After watching #KenmureStreet reports on TV, I am surprised no report showed the scale of the protest. Here is my unedited WindaesTV report of the detainees’ release #PeopleMakeGlasgow – at Glasgow, Scotland

We don’t want to be in this situation next Winter. We need to assess potential risks incl variants & make a proactive plan to address them. We need a long-term comprehensive strategy to protect economy, health and society.

Official @ONS data on COVID infections from 17th-23rd Oct has been published. Over 50,000 new infections a day, and it is rising in almost every region of England. Deaths and pressure on the NHS are increasing. We all have a role in reducing the risk of passing the virus on.
Replying to @ONS
During the most recent week, we estimate there were around 51,900 new #COVID19 infections per day in England ow.ly/ftku50C71E1

Ok this is BIG BAD news.
NHS privacy notice uses phrases that aren’t in U.K. law but are in USA - “personal identifiable information”. Also stores data for 20 years! And data can be “seen by those who have a specific and legitimate role in the response” - who does this cover? Does this inc Palatir et al?

My husband and I are both trained nurses, he's still in the NHS. We're the only people in the street who don't go out and clap because a) It terrifies our dogs b) It would be better to vote for the NHS than to clap for it. Only of of those actions makes a difference

I rarely comment on politics here, and avoid publicly siding with one party (all pretty useless at the moment) because no one should give a shit about celebs opinions. But it’s hard to imagine a greater display of inept leadership and muddled thinking then Boris just displayed. – at Barnet, London

Dear Victoria, what you have achieved both professionally and personally in the course of your show is outstanding. The thinking and lack of communication behind the decision is appalling. Xxxx
