I defy anyone to look at @marcdavenant's extraordinary photo of Richard Ratcliffe outside the Foreign Office today - day 18 of his hunger strike - and not be filled with rage & sadness. Where are you, @borisjohnson? How dare you fail to stop this? @FreeNazanin #FreeNazanin

Yes absolutely! But what Iโ€™ve seen is very very junior nurses having to do something they never should have had to do! Very hard to watch but no other option and i feel incredibly guilty about this! This is a good info graph but the nursing reality is far worse than this!

hello, today is Penguin Awareness Day, so I am here to remind you that 10 of the 18 penguin species are threatened with extinction. Please take action if you can, or at least raise awareness, thank you. - Love, Penguins
Iโ€™m also having lots of feedback about how brilliantly the vaccination centres are working and how impressive the set up is. In a sea of incompetence, investing in vaccines and rolling them out is likely to be the best thing this government has done. But the bar is set very low..

I tweeted this earlier & somebody posted this clip of @kirstywark from @BBCNewsnight. Simple & devastating.
Just one more Covid death. But itโ€™s the Covid death of my friendโ€™s father, human rights lawyer @RaviNa1k. His q today: the stats are so gruesome, & weโ€™re so desensitised, how do we convey the human loss when itโ€™s at this scale? Does anyone have an answer because I have no idea

Happy Wed!โ˜€๏ธHard days w/ strict restrictions & hospitals filling up. We cannot accept this virus as endemic in its current form: this will continue lockdown/release cycles. We must be bold & plan for elimination. We should never have another winter like this again bc of COVID.

It's so upsetting to see England go back into lockdown in the same desperate situation as 10 months ago. I've just emerged in NZ after 2wks' quarantine and the contrast is heartbreaking. There's no explanation other than thoroughgoing government incompetence; I'll never forget it

SAGE called for a full lockdown 2 weeks ago. Starmer recommended one last week. So only a matter of days before Johnson goes on telly, does his special sad face and says โ€œalasโ€ a few times.

Hospitals are overwhelmed but itโ€™s not like April. Because in April cases were going down while deaths were going up. Now everything is going up. The tiers are not working. Millions will mix tomorrow in schools. I canโ€™t believe this is happening. Even after all thatโ€™s happened.

I was shocked when I flew into Heathrow last March that there were no checks - why 9 months into this pandemic has the UK still not made its borders CoVID secure?

You know what makes me so angry & sad in equal measures.... the UK governmentโ€™s response at every turn has been weak & ineffectual. But this indecisiveness wasnโ€™t a bit of โ€˜oohing & ahingโ€™ - it has meant thousands of deaths. My levels of hope are very low right now. Are you okay? โ€“ at South East, England

This, right here, is exactly why weโ€™re deep in crisis. Dithering, procrastination, indecisiveness and weakness. *Exactly* as in March. I can hardly bear to see the same mistakes repeated all over again ๐Ÿ˜”
"It may be that we need to do things in the next few weeks that will be tougher in many parts of the country. Iโ€™m fully reconciled to that," says PM Boris Johnson #Marr bbc.in/2X63iWE

Pundits essentially telling front-line medics whose hospitals are in trouble that their hospitals aren't in trouble has been a particularly awful feature of COVID-19 coverage.
