I’ve seen the video of the CMO being harassed. It’s appalling and totally unacceptable. The CMO works tirelessly on behalf of the country. We will not tolerate this sort of behaviour towards our public servants. The men behaving in this disgraceful way should be ashamed.

On @RidgeOnSunday Sir Keir Starmer claims the summer wasn’t being used to prepare tests. This is incorrect. We expected an increase in demand and we increased capacity over the summer #Ridge

We all face a choice. If everyone follows the rules, then we can avoid a further lockdown.

✍️@pritipatel: 'Our investment in tackling county lines is starting to pay off, but while any child is being exploited or trafficked, I refuse to say job done.' Read about how the @Conservatives are continuing to crack down on county lines gangs 👇 thetimes.co.uk/edition/comme…
Govt puts in place back-up lab agreement with USA during planning in case of any lab issues. UK Lab encounters an issue - HMG uses planned back-up capability. Seems like a demonstration of robust crisis planning.
Britain has been secretly flying tens of thousands of coronavirus tests to America as it struggles to lift the daily testing rate over 100,000 a day in the UK, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

The care home said it has over 3 months’ supply of PPE, and called your claims “inaccurate”. Are you saying the care home is lying?
Nadine, please don't try to distract from your government's failure to provide PPE by implying that front line care staff are lying. In my work, we had one facemask a day, and only had visors homemade or donated by the public. ExtraCare made emergency appeals for PPE on Twitter.

Care home statement: ‘At Lark Hill, we have over three months’ supply of Personal Protective Equipment, including over 25,000 pairs of gloves, 7,700 aprons and nearly 6,000 masks.’ Are you sure that speaking out was the reason she was sacked?

Ridiculous partisan attack by Labour backfiring spectacularly here. The care home itself: “we have over three months supply.” Nadia Whittome used her position to make up stories about lack of PPE for shameful political gain

.@amateuradam, this tweet is misleading and wrong. “Clinically vulnerable” is different to those being asked to shield for 12 weeks (known as “clinically *extremely* vulnerable”) Please delete this tweet

We have strongly advised all over 70s to follow social distancing measures. However, there is no "blanket ban", and the suggestion that the clinically vulnerable "include 'people aged 70 or older regardless of medical conditions'" is wrong & deeply misleading.

Sad to see another factually wrong & misleading article on p1 of the Sunday Times. The clinically vulnerable, who are advised to stay in lockdown for 12 weeks, emphatically DO NOT include all over 70s. I’ve asked for an urgent correction.

Interesting article comparing @MattHancock to Macmillan in the 1950’s. I believe the latter was known as SuperMac en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supe…. So perhaps we now have our own #SuperMatt bit.ly/3c3BoAs

Guardian splash looks alarming till you look at the detail: Some of these PPE deliveries are up to 4 months away And this much feted EU ventilator procurement scheme spent £690m on ventilators that in some cases will take a YEAR to come through. /1
