Are you experiencing poor service in cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars & hotels? Bins not being collected on time? Empty shelves in supermarkets? All because of severe labour shortages caused by Brexit which is contributing to the current recession.

As well as the injustice and unfairness at the heart of the exams issue, it is another failure of UK governance. Day by day we see that winging it and whipping up culture wars is no way to govern a country. You have to be able to run things. bbc.co.uk/news/education-537…

"What's the difference between an aeroplane and a Theatre. Why is it safe to fly six a breast to Greece but not safe to sit in a theatre? I don't understand that." - questions Nicholas Hytner, former artistic director of the National Theatre. #Newsnight

Because New Zealand locked down promptly and were determined to save lives, they are now able to hold a rugby match with a full crowd today. This is what you can do when you put a grown up in charge. We won't be able to do this for months, Johnson is a #NationalDisgrace

Just found out that George Floyd was originally stopped by the police because he handed over a counterfeit note in a shop. I did that once! They handed me back the note as a souvenir, and later I told the story on stage in a comedy routine. That’s some privilege right there.

I’m embarrassed beyond belief at this Downing St press conference. Johnson is blustering - not answering questions, not taking follow ups. He flustered because he’s trying to defend the indefensible. He’s a disgrace.

URGENT: Have you seen this man? Last spotted a week ago in the Westminster area. Police urge anyone with information to kindly keep it to themselves.

But I have businesses locally that have for weeks been trying to supply the government with PPE with no luck sending PPE to Italy and Spain. So this just isn't true
"I would love to be able to wave a magic wand and have PPE fall from the sky in large quantities." Health Secretary Matt Hancock tells the the Commons health select committee that the government is doing all they can to get PPE to the frontline.

Who is this guy? Brilliant! Good music out of crisis one of the more positive side effects. Love his more political lines! Populist right wing leaders who talk nonsense look away now

I'm made in China Allison, should I be ashamed working for the NHS?
After this, let Made in China be a badge of shame. #coronavirus

Well done for voting for the dismantling of the NHS. Well done for voting for a barefaced lying racist bigot. Well done for voting to enable multi-nationals to continue paying no tax in this country. Well done for voting for the few, not the many.
