I want to be as sensitive as possible here, but the withdrawal of life support from Archie Battersbee is the right decision and to accuse the NHS of a choreographed execution is cruel and unnecessary.

I’m a 67 year-old woman and am expecting the paperwork today to say I’m now divorced. What should I do first?

I follow Labour and I can't see any policies except a windfall tax which doesn't add

Let's end outsourcing and stop handing taxpayers' money to outsourcing companies like Serco and G4S, who take their cut of the cash as profits and then subcontract the work out to companies that are facing allegations of industrial-scale tax avoidance. theguardian.com/business/202…

Can Tommy Robinson speak Spanish? Can’t speak the language, shouldn’t live there, right?!

Wait, so Tommy Robinson is a refugee now? Also, does he realise Spain is filled with all those foreigner types he’s not too keen on? What next? Katie Hopkins moving to Dubai?

This week Boris Johnson is lecturing the nation on dieting. In the next few weeks he'll move on to: - Marriage guidance - child care - hair styling

Just had conversation with a British couple who have a holiday home near us. They voted for Brexit and have made no arrangements whatsoever for what happens on Jan 1. They have now discovered the reality of their situation. The blame apparently is with "Brussels".

To break chains of covid transmission we need a public NHS Test & Trace service to find & test cases, track contacts, alert GPs & support people to isolate. But we have £100 million Serco call centres and tracers complain they have little to do. We don't want Serco in our NHS.

Please stop referring to the “NHS App”. It was developed by a private firm. The NHS tag was used to legitimise it. Now it has failed, the NHS tag will be used to shift blame from the private company responsible.

UPDATE: The statue of slave trader Robert Milligan has now been removed from West India Quay. It’s a sad truth that much of our wealth was derived from the slave trade - but this does not have to be celebrated in our public spaces. #BlackLivesMatter

Nearly 800 have died from #COVIDー19 in last two days the UK. New infections touching 8,000. R is nearly 1 . @BorisJohnson has decided to realax #lockdown and open schools next Monday! A recipe for disaster! RT if agree!

I almost envy people who can look at the death toll, the rule-breaking aide & the hopeless Prime Minister & think: “Yep. That Johnson is a class act. Great government this.” I get tribalism, obviously, but I think we’ve moved squarely into cult territory now. It’s utterly tragic.

“Dominic Cummings broke the rules – the country can see that and it’s shocked the government cannot.” Remark for which Emily Maitlis was reprimanded. Barnard Castle outing was breach of the regs. To be trusted, BBC must be willing to assert truths even if denied by government.

RT @guardian: Emily Maitlis replaced for Newsnight episode This is unbelievable @maitlis gets suspended for having the courage to stand up for our public health & honesty whilst #DominicCummngs keeps his job for not only thinking of himself, but putting himself above the law

It’s now official, Boris Johnson considers saving the career of Dominic Cummings more important than saving the lives of the people he is sworn to protect. If a single life is lost because of his shameless & cowardly conduct tonight it will be on his head

It’s not contempt shown to people who see through them that defines the Johnson/Cummings playbook, it’s contempt shown to people who support them. Your family is less important than theirs, your loved ones less valuable, your safety less important. You don’t really matter at all.

To the establishment hacks only now speaking about Laura Kuenssberg’s blatant, shameful Tory bias, this has very clearly been going on for years; you just didn’t want to see it or speak about it b/c it helped your vile propaganda efforts to destroy Corbyn. You helped create this!
