This is dreadful. He knows this isn’t true. I expect he thinks that the majority of viewers are from non-farming areas, so he can just get away with it. For the record: farmers lost between 5&25% of their payments in December. Nearly none of them have had anything to replace it.
"In terms of the reductions that we're making to the subsidy payments, farmers have more than recouped that through the increased income they've been getting for the produce they've been growing" - Environment Secretary George Eustice.

At the start of the pandemic, I wrote that ‘underlying health conditions’ would be used as euphemism for ‘acceptable death.’ An 8 year old with asthma had their whole life ahead of them. They played, they yelled, they wanted to be a YouTuber when they grew up. They matter.

EVERYONE will know SOMEBODY who’ll be more vulnerable to #COVID19. Even if you yourself are not at extra risk, think of THAT SOMEONE when you choose to #WearAMask. Their lives are dependent on us all playing our part! #COVIDisAirborne #Covid19UK @cv_cev @_f4vl @jo_woods11

Dr Jenny Harries describes the upcoming half-term as a "natural break". But the government have spent the last 18 months insisting "schools aren't drivers of transmission." The two views are fundamentally incompatible. It's gaslighting, on an industrial scale.

Absolutely agree! We need to #VaccinateAndMitigate A multi-layered approach is the only way to keep our schools open AND safe. We cannot allow any more preventable infections,lives are being lost daily, 1 in 7 #LongCovidKids When do we say enough! #ParentsProtectingSchools

So many schools are introducing measures, some councils are doing their up thing. Can we try and add these stories to this one thread. It may help individuals to argue their case if we can easily quote what is happening elsewhere. @SafeEdForAll_UK @ShieldUs1 @hazardscampaign

From this doctor’s perspective, that is laughable. 11 years of brutal underfunding. A vicious dispute with junior drs. The worst waits in NHS history. Patients lying on trolleys in corridors, suffering & dying. An epidemic of staff burnout. All on your watch. All your choosing.

This is so heartbreaking 💔 Children should be protected when they’re in school They’re protected against peanuts + conkers. But NOT from Covid! I’m keeping my kids home as I’m CEV. AND I don’t want my kids to catch it. The price I’m paying - constant threats from school!

During the chaos of the pandemic & Brexit - the govt has continued to cement its power to escape legal challenge and scrutiny while curbing whistleblowing protections for those who act in the public interest. 'Taking back control' by corrupting democracy & evading scrutiny.
Every word of this by @Freedland. If a country in sub-Saharan Africa was dismantling its electoral commission & seeking to imprison whistleblowers & journalists we’d know what to call this. British democracy is under a profound & systemic attack. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
