@Samfr I agree. Doesn’t matter they don’t know what they’re talking about, just flood the conversation with soundbites (misinfo) on Rwanda, bill of rights etc. Public won’t be able to discern what is true, even if they want to, where do they turn? Just erodes trust in everything.

This is extraordinary. The Government's own MPs don't understand how cruel the Rwanda policy actually is. I'm sure much of the public still believe this too.

IDS has misunderstood the govt's Rwanda deal. - He believes those whose asylum claim is valid would [& should] get to come back to UK. (He thinks this policy aims to sort refugees from 'economic migrants'). Many supporters of this scheme obvs don't know the basic proposal.

@ukhomeoffice Wow. Posting these numbers like they’re something to be proud of. Unbelievable.

The UK Government’s Ukraine Family Scheme is the first visa scheme in the world to launch since President Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
It gives Ukrainian people the freedom and means to support themselves while they are here in the United Kingdom.

@_johnbye @firstname738951 Just seen a video of this group pre their meeting in my Instagram feed, it’s being pushed by smaller accounts, their aim is to legitimatise their cause to the casual observer and meetings with MPs mean they are succeeding, I despair.

Covid denier Mark Sexton claims to have had a meeting with a "senior Conservative MP", also attended by Dolores Cahill, Anna de Buisseret, and a dozen other assorted fruitcakes.
Here's a quick who's who of the ones willing to be named...

@fascinatorfun I’m also curious. Not sure who is funding but this seems to explain who is behind the general organising of yesterday’s rallies

About a third of people sneeze when they look at bright light. Although this has been studied since Aristotle first recorded it, no one knows why it happens.

@silv24 Hello Natalie and your mum! I remember her well from OLC she was always so smiley! Lovely to see you doing so well! x

Mummy S is genuinely delighted with all of the lovely tweets and says hello back to everyone. And she will continue watching what is going on on here!

So my mum often reads Twitter on my dad’s account and sometimes tells me information I haven’t even managed to read on here. She asks about several of my friends on Twitter regularly. As a nice non-covid exercise - who fancies saying hello to mummy Silvey?

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"
I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.
Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

@trishgreenhalgh I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this.

@julianknight15 Did you even read the article? It’s says we’re on the brink of recession. Surely as an MP you have a responsibility to educate yourself and your constituents on the facts rather than retweeting click bait headlines?
