This would have been illegal under the current Tory government.

When there is a sea of change for a young person moving to different country, this could be the port they need... This decision doesn't seem to be girl led that we are encouraged to do in #Guiding

Look at any hospital in England’s Twitter account and all you will see is photos of unmasked staff. It’s appalling that so many hospital trusts don’t care about patient safety. #COVIDisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver #bringbackmasksinhealthcare

I feel like a broken record:
Covid is still here and killing and disabling people
Why haven't we got air filtration everywhere
Don't you know the damage covid infection does
Masks work
New variants coming
Someone just record me and put me on loop please.

As the ONS infection survey comes to a (HOPEFULLY TEMPORARY) close, infections are rising in England and Scotland and 1 in 40 people are infected across the UK. 1/2

🚨 Culture wars - Masks POLL 🚨
Why was mask-wearing politicised?
Why are vulnerable people seen as the 'opposition' and abused for simply trying to take 'personal responsibility'?
QUESTION
Who agrees with #MasksInHealthcare as a measure to protect vulnerable lives?

My views on covid seem to have become a bit, well—radical. Please allow me to explain. I did not start out radical. I am lucky to have a settled, establishment-adjacent, career. Three years ago, on the eve of the pandemic, I trusted the establishment.

Without ONS, we would have no idea that cases are even higher right now than they were back in Jan 2021 when the whole country was in lockdown and schools were closed.
This data is crucial to those who are clinically vulnerable to help them assess risk on an ongoing basis.

⚠️ Clinically Vulnerable people are struggling.
We are * 3️⃣ YEARS * into a pandemic (ask the ) and our needs have not been addressed.
Protections were withdrawn one by one and the removal of these measures has unfairly disadvantaged us.

The government acted far too slowly for Evusheld to be useful to 1.2M people (NICE identified) who benefit.
It was the only treatment for immunosuppressed people, yet approvals were not fast-tracked but treated exceptionally.
3yrs of shielding & counting...
1yr of freedoms lost

🚨🏴 The Scottish Government's new Budget contains devastating cuts to arts and culture. MSPs will decide whether to approve the plans on Tuesday. Please join me and in our campaign to #StopTheCuts in Scotland.
When we say "crime is a social construct", what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jail for littering, but a corporation can poison the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jail.

We are in despair at this news. But nobody who isn't #immunocompromised or have a family member who is immunocompromised understands what it's like to be #stillshielding We are now heading for our 4th year in lockdown. Not sure how we can go on living like this. 😥#forgotten500k
Quote Tweet
Govt failure to buy #Evusheld when it *did* work against earlier covid variants condemned the #forgotten500k to another year of shielding.
Without any serious strategy for them to live with covid still, news of new rapid drug assessment system is welcome but overdue&insufficient twitter.com/evusheld4theuk…
