Appointing Sue Gray is, off the top of my head, the first thing Starmer has very deliberately done which was absolutely guaranteed to provoke an avalanche of Daily Mail-infused bullshit. And that is both significant and highly encouraging. No wonder all their piss is boiling!

Important to see what Macron actually said. An accurate statement of the position.
So I just subtitled exactly, word for word, what Macron said about sovereignty and Johnson - and not the mangled version you might get in the UK media (or from certain UK politicians) 😀

Great photo, thanks. We hope it doesn't stay in our wetland and feed on the young waders, gulls, terns and Water Voles!

Boris Johnson just insulted every person in this country who has made sacrifices to follow the rules he implemented to save lives in this pandemic.

This was a test of the Prime Minister and he has failed it. It is an insult to sacrifices made by the British people that Boris Johnson has chosen to take no action against Dominic Cummings.

The ingenuity of reporters covering this crisis knows no bounds.
In tough circumstances, it was a pleasure to join @CBCNews to discuss last night's breaking news. #BedroomStudio

This is badly misjudged. People should maintain social distancing, which is what these people are doing. We need to maintain public support for fundamental behaviour change which requires the authorities to focus on genuinely bad behaviour.
Despite posts yesterday highlighting issues of people still visiting the #PeakDistrict despite government guidance, the message is still not getting through. @DerPolDroneUnit have been out at beauty spots across the county, and this footage was captured at #CurbarEdge last night.

I've been mulling over the @MRC_Outbreak modeling report on #COVID19 mitigation and suppression strategies since it was posted on March 16. Although mitigation through social distancing may not solve things I believe we can bring this epidemic under control. 1/19
