Real shame - was looking forward to this. Hope all is well.
#ORFCGlobal Sorry to say the talk at 17:00 with Richard Perkins has been cancelled due to ill health: orfc.org.uk/session/no-time-… Please check out the rest of the programme for today: orfc.org.uk/programme/
The Bay Tree Bakery stopped some time ago. I have been using this as a personal feed since. Am going to ease back on this account to focus on the newly created @JustTransitionW - climate & Wakefield tweets from Just Transition Wakefield. Do please follow!
We’ve been working hard this weekend on the 4 legal cases we’re bringing against the government with @GoodLawProject about dodgy PPE procurement Over 640 of our friends and colleagues have died of COVID-19, many had insufficient or no PPE 😷 We must have answers @EveryDoctorUK

Men have learned to talk up their achievements to do well in the world and women have learned that they must downplay their achievements to do well in the world.

If the US can hold a presidential election, why can’t we hold elections this May? Many already delayed for a year In a public health crisis we need more democracy, not less #marr

If you are watching @AndrewMarr9 this morning remember that over the past few weeks many politicians have said schools are safe and the @DailyMailUK has even banned us from advertising with them. Read this graph from ONS stats and make up your own mind. #marr #MakeSchoolsSafe

I'll say it now. If we survive this wave, the NHS will be broken and barely recognisable. The things we are asking the staff to do now in the full to overflowing ICUs will break many of them..

This is not just having a nice little debate, arguments and then coming away with a compromise This is an urgent problem that has to be solved and, what's more, we know how to do it... we're refusing to take steps that we know have to be taken bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

The French just announced they will be implementing full customs controls from Monday. Redwood will be able to have his humble pie and ... eat it!

Insightful documentary on @GretaThunberg 🌍 Any other #ClimateAction #environment #nature #film & #TV recommendations for this #ecolockdown ? 📽️🎞️
"Once the #ClimateCrisis has gotten your attention you can't look away. Once you fully understand the magnitude of the problem, then you can't erase it." @GretaThunberg sums-up the position I'm in. I am sick of #ScienceDenial. I Am Greta: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0… via @bbciplayer

Boris Johnson said in 2016 that Bexit would mean £600m a week in alleviation of business burden. (video) Well, the food & drink sector have just announced that Brexit red tape will burden them with an extra £6bn a year. (link in next tweet)

9 days into Brexit and it's clear that the UK as an exporter of goods is being throttled to death. By its own Government. The exact opposite of the "fantastic global trading opportunity" we were promised Brexit would create.

In the last few hours I have heard from 5 separate doctors in difficulty. NHS staff are not able to relax even on their days off at the moment; they’re under such pressure If you have an opportunity to support them in any way, please take it. We need to rally behind NHS staff🌟

You don’t get breathless and hypoxic from a false positive covid test result. Our hospital beds are not filled with people who have had a positive covid result and are worried about it. They’re filled with people who are sick, breathless and terrified. They’re not imagining it.
