BBC - they should have gone to Specsavers: The BBC, again inexplicably, misses reporting on an event of major international and national, political and social significance.
Strangely enough @BBC didn’t get the helicopter views. Perhaps those WhatsApp messages from No10 are still getting through. @mrjamesob @campbellclaret

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care. Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate. Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙
