Does anyone else know if there is any data on how many Conservative MPs have paid for private health care for themselves or their families while legislating for the system others rely upon? Releasing this data must be in the public interest. #nursesstrike #RCN

In disasters, people are abandoning official info for social media. Here's how to know what to trust theconversation.com/in-disasters-p… via @ConversationEDU

Let's take a closer look at the man running Boris Johnson's leadership campaign: Jacob Rees-Mogg twitter.com/ByDonkeys/stat…

Conservative MPs, this is what you’d be voting for

NEW: An unmissable interview with @DPuttnam. One of the greatest film-makers we've ever had is telling us we are "sleepwalking into a disaster". "Elements of the Nazi playbook" are unfolding now. "Slowly, slowly, slowly, we are drifting into accepting a diminished democracy"

@JuliaHB1 In combination with other measures  masks can reduce exposure  by 99% (Fierce, Robey and Hamilton  2022) "Meta-analysis of eight studies showed a significant protective effect (Fig. 2. ≤ 2 weeks, N = 5242; OR = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.71–0.99; I2 = 0%). " (Li, Yuan, Sun 2022)

@JuliaHB1 The evidence in peer reviewed articles is very clear. They do provide protection. Your post is particularly worying as given your position of power people will actually believe you, follow your advice and suffer because of it (or infect others).

Brits should wear face masks again to avoid new Covid lockdown, claims expert. Does this "expert" offer any evidence to back up his claim that face masks help protect against the spread of Covid? Because the evidence is very clear that they DON'T. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/b…

Dear @thetimes Can you please tell me why my print copy of today’s paper is different to the epaper on page 5? The story about the PM trying to get his now wife appointed to a top job when she was his mistress has been swapped to ludicrous claims about EU judges.

Today’s Guardian. A letter that will punch the breath from you 💔 #Partygate

@lisagiven A wonderful generous man who will be sorely missed.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Prof Ross Todd, an inspiring #informationbehaviour scholar and world-traveller extraordinaire!

@wynnejules @Myrtle4441 I’d be interested to see a copy of the medical research that you’ve seen that shows they make a difference.

@gladrags42 @wynnejules @Myrtle4441 The evidence seems clear: "Meta-analysis of eight studies showed a significant protective effect (Fig. 2. ≤ 2 weeks, N = 5242; OR = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.71–0.99; I2 = 0%). " (Li, Yuan, Sun 2022) doi.org/10.1038/s41398…

There were times at either end of my 48 days in intensive care when I was lonely and confused, especially after the coma. I didn’t understand (drugs) why Emma or the kids didn’t come in. Good news that Boris and pals were ripping it up though.

To understand this as well as make recommendations for how ICT infrastructure can be improved as part of the major ICT systems transition set to take place over the next 3-to-5 years, Professor @DavidKAllen3 and colleagues surveyed 40 FRS and found:

I am amazed and appalled at the UK response and the lack of critical press coverage in the UK. The reports in other countries media on the UK response are much clearer and expose both the hypocrisy and reality faced by our country.

@pde62 @RoundLike @bbcquestiontime @Johnrashton47 There is research evidence on crisis and disaster management which supports his people centred approach. This isn't scare mongering. He isn't a lone voice.

@RoundLike @bbcquestiontime @Johnrashton47 I will agree/ accept he has a legitimate opinion... but he’s at odds with the collective opinion of the leading experts.

Professor @JohnRAshton47 says that he is “embarrassed” by the time it has taken the UK government to react to the coronavirus outbreak #bbcqt
