Recall that the government has spent months saying it can't find any money to prevent nurses and teachers getting very big pay cuts. He just found £6 billion to cut fuel duties. That's a choice.

All this talk of a strike being damaging to children, I’ll tell you what is damaging to children:
Not enough teachers
Not enough money in schools
Buildings in a state of disrepair
Demoralised work force
Loss of goodwill that keeps things going
That will all do far more damage.

Plus, the current pay award is NOT fully-funded, so #schools/children are losing out if we DON’T get what we’re fighting for. This is not a #ballot of self-interest, as some press outlets would have you believe. @NASUWT @neu A #BetterDealforTeachers = a better deal for schools

The government has announced that free parking for NHS staff will end after the pandemic. 😫
RT if you think that all NHS staff should be entitled to free parking at their place of work! ❤️

It was just ten minutes.
Ten minutes is a good long cuddle with a newborn grandchild.
Ten minutes is enough to hug and giggle with a close friend to lighten a difficult day.
Ten minutes is time to touch, hug and say farewell to a dying parent.
But we didn’t get ten minutes

I'm not an epidemiologist but announcing the end of all mitigating factors for a disease that killed 438 people yesterday feels like an act of criminal negligence that will condemn tens of thousands of people to death or chronic illness.

For the people who keep asking why Stargazing Live doesn’t happen any more, this is why. They just don’t have the money any more, and it’s because of this government. The BBC isn’t just BBC news, and this is a ludicrously short-sighted act of vandalism from a “Culture Secretary”.
This licence fee announcement will be the last. The days of the elderly being threatened with prison sentences and bailiffs knocking on doors, are over.
Time now to discuss and debate new ways of funding, supporting and selling great British content. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

I feel desperately sorry for my fellow bereaved families who made enormous sacrifices when losing their loved ones to covid while this shameless prime minister & Govt partied
We won’t get another chance to say bye to our departed
I know what we did was the right thing

Terrific news! It does now appear as though booster bookings are now permitted in advance of 6 months (ie you can book it after 5 months, but the appt will be no earlier than 6 months).
This means around 10m extra people in England can now book their booster. Fantastic!

If you think that public health measures such as mask-wearing should reintroduced in England, RT💙

Are you concerned by the incredibly high number of COVID-19 cases in the UK, the rising numbers of hospitalisations and deaths?
If so, please RT this. The government need to start taking responsibility 🚨
