Dear World, You may be wondering what happens next in terms of the British constitution. The answer is that 3 newspaper owners - all of whom are non domiciled in the UK for tax purposes - get together and choose our next Prime Minister or βPoodleβ. The Queen then anoints them.

The more I think about it, the more I feel we should start again with Parliament. Have a modern building, electronic voting, office hours, decent childcare, no on-site bars. Governing this country is too important for it to be treated like a 'gentlemen's' club.

They donβt, so they wonβt.

I donβt have pre existing conditions so I am not worried about going out in a storm, why should I change my behaviour? No need to monitor the storm either, letβs close down the Met office, full of scientists trying to control our behaviour with made up weather! #JohnsonOutDay25

Ministers and inspectorates stand accused of treating teachers as 'collateral damage' from the pandemic after @NASUWT research involving almost 12,000 teachers yielded deeply concerning results: bit.ly/3GSL4w7 #wellbeing #mentalhealth
But the reward for lots of work seemed to be lots more. If you dug the biggest hole, they just gave you a bigger shovel. - Terry Pratchett. Teaching in a nutshell.

To the 'let kids get back to normal' crowd who are anti-mitigation and/or oppose vaccines for children... this isn't normal π
