@FraserNelson Why is this information not published in Scotland? It must be going the other way up here to justify the shutting down of parts of society. FFS this isnt some sort of exercise, it's real with v long term implications.

Covid-related NHS staff absences now falling in London: from ~6,000 to ~4,500. ICU use is also falling in the city, although case and hospital numbers are rising. All on the Spectator's data hub: data.spectator.co.uk/category/nhs

@jhalcrojohnston Absolutely astonishing that we live in a country that would allow such levels of government control without need for full disclosure on every decision and repeated justification. These aren't some sort tweaks to people's lives.

The Health Secretary should know these figures and they should be publicly available. It’s worrying that, at this stage of the pandemic, they still don’t.

@DeanLockhartMSP Staggering that we just accept partial shut down of the country and restriction on everyone's lives but dont demand the information to justify this. Ime sorry but opposition and media need to grow a pair.

@tomallenstevens Maybe should try this loading seed for export 😂

This is so cool

@BBCJohnBeattie Congrats John. Very well deserved

Our Jenny - so proud she made it about helping others.

Southgate's first words says it all....all the other teams won a trophy.... 😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #SPOTY

@NicolaSturgeon What a disgrace.

Before we get spin on ‘doubling’: 1/ the £220m announced last week was NOT new or additional (it was actually £48m less than we had been expecting). Seeking confirmation if this new £220m is additional (tho if so £48m will just make up last w/k loss) & if it has to be repaid

@staylorish @BizforScotland @Feorlean Christ, it is all just pie in the sky, mumbo jumbo

Interviewed today by @BizforScotland, the political director the SNP’s independence unit, @Feorlean, can’t remember exactly what its currency policy is. But he’s absolutely sure that whatever it is, it won’t be damaging to Scotland.

@Fraser_Bain @FacundoSavala Sack would be better tho !

@FacundoSavala @markprentice27 we’d agree on this 😂

@Cammurray5 @Jen4Scot And nippy

@dhothersall Cant disagree with this at all.

@davidbowe76 Hows the venture going?

It’s peeled produce they want and plenty of it😂

@Navara10NZO I just dont get the anti vax thing. Most of them will have had the half dozen odd vaccines we get in our early lifes, yet this is so controversial?! They are so selfish to look at it through the lens of just themselves. Incomprehensible.

Very sad to see on Look North tonight that nurses & staff in a Hull hospital are getting abuse from the anti-vax brigade about Covid.I’m sure this is happening in other hospitals as well but one thing is for certain this is totally unacceptable & the culprits need dealing with!!

@AvonandsomerRob Irresponsible

25% of Premier League footballers have flat-out refused Covid vaccination - BBC.

Boosted! Please everyone, get done!

@crystalski Due to pay balance of holiday by Saturday for half term. Concerned that even if can travel by then holiday will be compromised (movement restrictions in resort, etc). If we pay and we decide nearer time it will be, can I get a refund?

@BBCNews 3 households....Scientific, feels about right or just a stab in the dark?

People in Scotland asked to limit socialising to three households at a time in the run-up to Christmas amid concerns over the Omicron variant bbc.in/3dRzK7u

@TheScotsman As if restricting their education by wearing masks all day long wasnt enough, they want to further restrict by closing schools. Kids, the ones that will carry the can for this for the rest of their lives.

Unions urged the Scottish Government to close schools early for the festive break amid spread of the new Omicron variant. trib.al/xrLrmPl

@thistlerugbypod Barrett does that and the world a their dog go ballistic. World class

🕹Finn playing on easy mode tonight How bloody good ❤️ twitter.com/btsportrugby/s…

@TheScotsman Complete abdication of financial responsibility. Shielding yourself from tax rises by getting someone else to do it.....

SNP ministers have been accused of opening the door to “massive” council tax hikes as local authorities are handed full control over bills. trib.al/gKSgP8a
