This is your Health Secretary claiming he’s changing the law to allow nurses and pharmacists to administer flu jabs
But the truth is both roles have been doing exactly that for years and years
Please RT if you think he should’ve known that already
Anyone else thinking of turning the heating on this weekend? #summerisover #babyitscoldoutside
Every other country doing the right thing but their citizens except England. 😩
How did France grade its Covid-year students ?
Taking the average of 1st + 2nd term marks, always rounding "up" and creating 10 000 extra university places
No negative algorithms
France levels up. Johnson talks about it but does the very opposite

R is our school's top English student. She got 9 at GCSE. She got A at AS. She is studious, precise, deeply thoughtful. She has just had her A Level grade reduced from A* to C, apparently just because she goes to a disadvantaged school. It might help if you liked her poem.

And just like that the lead story became French quarantine instead of unfair exam fiasco

We are so ill-informed in England.
@NicolaSturgeon stood up and told her nation today that there were 52 new COVID-19 cases with 27 in Grampian HB, 13 in Glasgow HB, 269 people in hospital (+2 new) and 3 in intensive care.
What do we get? Nothing... I think we deserve better!

Nurses starting salary:
April 2010 = £21,200
February 2020 = £24,200
An increase of 14%
5% below inflation ⬇️
Please RT if you agree that simply isn’t fair

This, in today’s Times, is sickening. The govt has already abandoned care homes once. Now they are at it again.
Weekly testing, promised with fanfare a month ago, is *still* not in place. Now - maybe - planned for Sept.
Our most vulnerable citizens - ignored & abandoned. Again.

This is possibly the best thing I have seen on Twitter, ever. To all the anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-everything people, this is the logical conclusion of “freedom”. Please read it. All of you.

Are you listening @BorisJohnson @MattHancock - pay the nurses what they damn well deserve.
According to a new poll, an overwhelming majority of the public (85%) says NHS staff should receive a pay rise. bit.ly/3jSRhh4

Boris Johnson has been urged to follow the “elimination strategy” pursued by Nicola Sturgeon, to drive down cases to as close to zero as possible thetimes.co.uk/edition/scotl…

“I think it is quite probable that we will see this virus coming back in different waves over a number of years,” he said
--> fastest way back to normal life is pursuing a 'Zero COVID' approach domestically.

Unbelievable.. @MattHancock is now claiming the UK locked down on March 16, not 23. This is a demonstrable bare-faced lie to try to disguise the fact we locked down so woefully late & it cost so many 1000s of lives. Even by our Health Secretary’s standards, this is shameful.

This is a wonderful graphic illustrating the mess we are in right now. #Covid19UK #BrexitReality #ClimateCrisis
