If the Prime Minister didn't know a birthday party was violating his own fucking lockdown rules maybe it's not a great idea to have him in charge of a country during a fucking war

Just about sums it up...
“If you’re that glad why did you vote against it..you were shamed into it..do you regret voting against it now?”
The Health Secretary’s reply is shocking

Hard to feel very cheerful just now, but knowing that @BorisJohnson will be giving £350 million to the NHS this week certainly helps.

If there's one thing that's consistently worked for this party it's massively underestimating the complexity of a problem and assuming they can "just get on with it."
I was thinking about this as I used my UK Test and Trace App to catch a Brexit Ferry to get my A-Levels.

Imagine a country where a politician’s think tank calls for abolition of a major public health body, it gets broken up during a pandemic, its replacement is established in a few days, and the politician’s wife, with no public health experience, is appointed to run it. That’s us.

Instead of tweeting "my A-Levels were shit & I'm still a millionaire" how about you appreciate your experience is of no relevance to a group of people graduating into a global pandemic & a government who decided to have the papers marked down by HAL from 2001 & shut the fuck up.

Even now, after years of this godawful embarrassing shite, it's hard to believe this is real.
.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”

REMEMBER:
Boris Johnson called #NoDealBrexit a "failure of statecraft" which "business, farmers and millions of ordinary people are counting on" him to avoid.
And now that's exactly where we're heading... DURING A F****** PANDEMIC RECESSION.

Seriously Mr Farage. Don’t use a tragedy in our city to spread your fear and hatred. Glasgow has seen your kind before and always sent a united message- “get yerself tae f...!”

A thread on the outrage (and worse) directed against my colleague Priya Gopal yesterday.

"Race is a construct. But racism is real. It’s not the virus that discriminates; it is society. Inequality is killing us: racism is a pre-existing condition." My piece on what the disproportionate number of black deaths from COVID tell us about racism. bit.ly/2MsChqZ
