11.36 Bodmin to Paddington 05/06 Standing room only, no refreshments, elderly with booked assisted travel left for 5hrs, no staff, children asleep in the aisles GWR blaming Trainline for selling to many tickets. 2 hr delay. Lost faith in humanity! @GWRHelp @thetrainline

Two years ago today the PM advised people not to go to pubs, bars and restaurants. Two years of restrictions have seen £160bn revenue lost and 10% of businesses close with recovery only starting this month. With the sector still fragile increasing VaT now would be hugely damaging

@beverleyturner Yep! 😬 in W1

Anyone heard of this practice of slashing / deflating tyres of larger cars then putting a note on the screen saying they have "done them a favour" because their cars are killing the planet? Lockdowns hammered home 'social duty' 'for your own good.' What did we expect to happen??

To all teen girls: if you are ever being followed or hit ion by a strange man when you are in public, walk toward an older woman you see and say loudly, “Mom! A strange guy is hassling me. He won’t leave me alone.” Every one of us has been there. We will be there for you.

We have a culture in UK that seems to view littering as someone else’s problem. The photo on left is of remains of child’s helium balloon. A child’s moment of joy may well cause an animal’s agonising death

We've all ended up paying for Boris breaking the rules. We're paying Sue Gray and her team. We're paying for the police investigation. We're paying for the new office and staff to watch over him. You should be livid.

Hello @BorisJohnson Did you know you shared a birthday with my wife Lisa Shaw? 19th June. In 2020 she didn’t have a birthday party with friends, family or colleagues. It turns out this was to be her last birthday. She died May 2021 after after taking the AZ CoVid vaccine

▪️They didn’t wear masks or socially distance when they strutted around COP26, G20 & G7. ▪️They held parties during lockdowns ▪️They flew by private jet with no quarantine ▪️They snogged their staff They told us to play by their rules but they played by their own set of rules.

The number of children admitted to hospital with eating disorders has risen almost 70% since the pandemic, with lockdowns and isolation causing “devastating” effects on children’s mental health Hospital admissions said to be just the “tip of the iceberg” telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/0…

Anyone claiming masks in class is no big deal should read this piece written by a teenager in ⁦@Telegraph⁩ “In fact, [masks] have changed school life beyond recognition…Sitting in near silence for a whole day is incredibly lonely and isolating.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/0…

I very rarely ask for RTs, but this deserves to be watched by as many as possible. Stop punishing the kids, it’s unscientific and it’s morally WRONG. We know what you really think @BorisJohnson ,end this madness. #NoMasksInClass

The PM said it right. Forcing children to wear masks all day in school is nonsensical and cruel.

When you close down safe, we’ll ventilated, hygienic hospitality venues people don’t stop socialising, they socialise at home or at illegal raves where safety cannot be assured. SAGE acknowledges safest place to socialise is hospitality

We have 50,000 people walking around who have cancer but don't know it because of the disruptions. That number is only going to increase over the coming months. The lack of attention on the cancer crisis is wrong.

Data from South Africa shows Omicron is milder than the original strain and even two vaccine doses give significant protection against severe illness, boosters will be higher still. That is good news. Politicians should tell people about it.

The First real world analysis of Omicron from South Africa shows it is 29% milder than the initial covid variant. We should be removing restrictions not imposing more.

A tumour won't grow and spread uncontrollably over days or weeks, but months are often the difference between life/death. 50,000 missing cancer patients, with 24,000 extra significantly delayed. Those graphs aren't shown at the conferences. With the numbers set to increase.
