I completely agree with @mgshanks and have often ranted about this to friends. Perhaps this is something that @CYPCS or @s_y_p might already have considered or would be able to consider addressing? It’s amazing how many there are when you start paying attention #StreetsAre4Play2

Omicron latest: Looks more transmissible than delta. Likely to become dominant strain. Can re-infect those who had delta recently. Can infect fully vaccinated. Unsure if vaccines protect against severe infection but likely. Priority: vaccinate & slow impact on NHS over winter.

It's a miracle we've been spared hundreds of years of mass female crime spree & somehow avoided endemic levels of sexual violence committed by women provoked by not being represented in media and culture! Praise be!

I can only speak for myself and my timeline, but seeing jolly photos of Foreign Sec on tour followed by Richard Ratcliffe starving outside her dept is getting a bit jarring.
At @OfficialTriumph factory in Thailand 🇹🇭 that produces 70,000 bikes a year.
This 🇬🇧 business has factories in Leicestershire, Chonburi, Thailand, 🇮🇳 and 🇧🇷.
Closer economic ties deliver jobs and prosperity. #GlobalBritain 🇬🇧 🇹🇭 🌎

I defy anyone to look at @marcdavenant's extraordinary photo of Richard Ratcliffe outside the Foreign Office today - day 18 of his hunger strike - and not be filled with rage & sadness.
Where are you, @borisjohnson? How dare you fail to stop this?
