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?

Yes absolutely! But what Iβve 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
Iβm 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..
Just one more Covid death. But itβs the Covid death of my friendβs father, human rights lawyer @RaviNa1k. His q today: the stats are so gruesome, & weβre so desensitised, how do we convey the human loss when itβs at this scale? Does anyone have an answer because I have no idea
Happy Wed!βοΈHard 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
We may be in lockdown but youβre not alone.
