Delta Farce: How Boris Johnson's incompetent handling of the new variant extended lockdown

Hmm ... 🤔
So the government that now wants to increase our number of nuclear warheads because "Russia is such a threat" ... is the same one that didn't feel it necessary to investigate any claims of Russian interference into the referendum & elections that put it into power.
Many people didn't meet up last Christmas, even tho #BorisJohnson said ok to, but some people in the UK did. The graph shows how UK #COVID19 deaths rose compared to EU nations.
The data was the same. Johnson made the wrong decision.
If we'd all met up it'd have been far worse!

Hi!👋
I’m Julia, and I’m the Chief Exec of @EveryDoctorUK. We run a network of 40,000 NHS staff. Due to dodgy PPE which put staff+patients at risk, we’re taking the government to court along with @GoodLawProject 👩⚖️ 👨🏾⚕️
🌟We’re in court today🌟
Please RT+we’ll update everyone👍
A new Aldi store will go in the field. The pavement is too narrow. Widening it destroys the hedge.
Local people have petitioned for a new path to go on the inside of the hedge: quieter, safer, saves #biodiversity.
Aldi have said 'No'. So much for their environmental credentials!
ALT 100+ year old #hedge on Rykneld Road, #DerbyUK threatened unnecessarily by a digger to clear the site for a new #Aldi store.
ALT Ideology is great, but does Aldi's environmental policy work in practice?
Do you think it's wrong that the Tories are charging ahead with their "Brexit festival", costing £120m when we're being destroyed by a pandemic?
Do you think that money should instead go to carers, freelance artists or anyone who needs financial support?

Told today of someone who caught Covid from his grandchild on Christmas Day. He became very unwell and went into hospital, where he died. When his wife heard, she had a stroke, and is now in hospital recovering.
Why, oh why, did #BorisJohnson say people could mix at Xmas?

The first picture is the paid for delivery leaflets that arrived on my doorstep this morning.
This is both safe and essential according to the govt.
Second is the leaflet I’m not allowed to deliver because it’s a “covid” risk. More like a “Tories lose election risk”
Royal mail?✅
Amazon prime?✅
Deliveroo?✅
Political leafleting?❌
The Cabinet Office has told campaigners not to deliver leaflets - while all other deliveries continue as normal. There's no logical health reason for Govt to suppress democratic activity.

The Conservatives are banning political parties from delivering leaflets on Monday but will still allow any other organisation to deliver leaflets. What are they worried about?

I want to know more about the 30% of people with #COVID19 but #NoSymptoms. It was 60% in summer.
Is anyone investigating this?
Is it a different strain? Is it a #genetic difference? Or is it something we could get everyone to be/do?
#VitaminD?
#Research needed. Who is doing it?
Article from today's Observer on #VitaminD and #Covid19. Could this be the answer to why some are symptom-free?

Sadly this process is l o n g:
"Because of Coronavirus we have a very large number of petitions to check at the moment so it may take a few weeks. Thank you for your patience.
"Once your petition has 21 signatures it won’t be able to add more until it’s been checked."
I'm setting up a petition about this. Hopefully will be live soon. See:
Farmers want to be allowed to buy/plant neonicotinoid treated seeds for sugar beet, a NON-FLOWERING crop that is therefore not a risk to bees. See @Tom_Clarke
a farmer who knows all about it and inform yourselves PROPERLY.
The evidence is growing for #VitaminD and #Covid.
Although it won't be a miracle answer it could curb deaths and hospitalisations. Are you taking it yet?
