Not once over the 13 last years has your party cared enough about patient safety to "enforce minimum service & safety levels."
I've seen patient die in horrifically understaffed conditions for years - in corridors, on the floor, in toilets, in cupboards. Yet you've done nothing.

As we've said repeatedly, the Church of England’s opposition to deporting asylum seekers without any kind of assessment or care is not because the destination is Rwanda.
We would oppose such heartless treatment wherever people were sent.

Dear @thetimes
Can you please tell me why my print copy of today’s paper is different to the epaper on page 5?
The story about the PM trying to get his now wife appointed to a top job when she was his mistress has been swapped to ludicrous claims about EU judges.

I myself have wondered why refugees didn't stay in European countries and have travelled on. So I asked them.

To justify its “cruel & inhumane”policy to send migrants to Rwanda Boris Johnson’s Government is saying the vast majority of people coming across the Channel are economic migrants & not asylum seekers.
THATS A LIE👇

It’s unbelievable that an international coalition which could find 130BN dollars a year for Afghanistan when fighting there, cannot find 5 per cent of that amount to prevent millions of Afghans from starving. @SkyNews

Dropping isolation makes work & socialising riskier & boosters are waning, covid keeps evolving & it's harder to know about local case levels.
Basically govt plans that we will all get covid several times - like a cold but with a much more dangerous disease.
Not science based
Alison Parr retweeted
No one in or around SAGE and Nervtag is aware of any scientific advice given to the PM that the requirement to isolate for those infected with Covid19 should be terminated from end of the month. “It’s politics, isn’t it” is a typical reaction
Alison Parr retweeted
We still have super high infection levels across England - is this really the time to say "yup, self isolation no longer needed"?
Latest #COVID19 data show a mixed picture across the UK in the week ending 5 February 2022.
Infections have increased in Northern Ireland and Scotland but decreased in Wales.
The trend is uncertain in England ow.ly/1kys50HQBFx

The day last month that Johnson announced a Covid Plan B would be activated in Englan, 161 deaths and 51,342 cases were reported.
Today 439 deaths and 94,326 deaths were recorded as Plan B is withdrawn.

Dear media,
At today’s Covid press conf please bear in mind that an NHS ‘critical incident’ means that trust can no longer care for patients safely. Implication: pressures are such that patients may be harmed/die.
We said this would happen & were ignored.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/d…

We MUST focus on humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan + on development assistance to the Afghan economy, including the million women who work in the handicraft export economy. All crippled by new sanctions and donor regulations. Food, incomes, livelihoods. #supportAfghanistan
Starving Afghanistan: It is a "countdown to catastrophe" according to the UN. Millions of children in the country could suffer acute malnutrition and may not survive the harsh winter months if the world doesn't act. Powerful, heartbreaking report from my colleague @yogital

Please listen to this ICU doctor treating patients in their 20s and 30s. And please book your vaccination 🙏🙏🙏
Alison Parr retweeted
Sajid Javid is indeed lucky he’s had two vaccine doses and his symptoms are mild.
But what about the 47% of the population who are not yet “double jabbed”?
Javid is literally advertising the wisdom of postponing so-called Freedom Day until more of us are vaccinated 🤷♀️
Alison Parr retweeted
If you feel unwell:
Please *don’t* do what Sajid Javid describes here.
LFTs are for those without symptoms, as the NHS website clearly states.
A negative LFT does *not* rule out Covid.
If you have Covid symptoms, book a PCR test & self-isolate until the result is back 🙏
Alison Parr retweeted
One of the more terrifyingly inept aspects of this government’s Covid response.
They *still* haven’t updated their symptom list so that those with the commonest Delta symptoms can book a PCR test.
Does @BorisJohnson actually want to accelerate spread?

Alison Parr retweeted
Only 53% of the UK population are fully vaccinated.
Yet @10DowningStreet is washing its hands of responsibility for controlling Covid.
It really is reprehensible.
Alison Parr retweeted
Today’s Covid figures are horrendous.
Another 48,553 cases.
How - when we’re a whisker away from 50k new cases daily - can @BorisJohnson possibly plough on with so-called ‘Freedom Day’?
He is abdicating all responsibility in 4 days time.
It’s grotesquely selfish.
