Me: I've had a test and I have Covid19.
Tracer: Ok who have you been in contact with?
Me: My family, everybody on the tube and at work.
Tracer: Do you have their names?
Me: Cate and Emily at home. The rest - No idea.
And that's why stats show most spread is in the home.

My wife is crying with frustration. She manages a supermarket that gets about 16,000 customers a week. About 1600 of them are abusive anti-maskers. She has just spoken to someone at Downing Street in desperation. This thread explains some of what she is doing. 1/6

Sunak is rumoured to be thinking of raising the retirement age to 70. For many that will mean they will never receive it. Alternatively we could Rejoin the EU Single Market & Customs Union and create economic growth.

I’m in France.
Same covid.
Same Ukraine war.
No shortages.
No energy crisis.
Plenty of staff.
Thriving Business.
They didn’t leave the EU.
I rarely see my wife now. She is constantly working, trying to feed people. Why aren't the government doing more to help the supermarkets feed the nation? The supermarkets gave the government the VAT back - so why can't this be used to help them now?

If everybody voted in EU elections for the LibDems & Greens, Brexit would be over by the summer.
You don't have to vote for them for the rest of your lives. Just long enough to save the nation.
Brexit. Over by the summer! How does that sound?
Vote 🔶LibDem and🛑STOP Brexit.
🔵MPs locked out of parliament.
🔵Ministers lying.
🔵Mass protests.
🔵Millions sign petitions.
🔵Multiple legal actions.
🔵Former PM taking legal action against current PM.
The EU must be having serious doubts that Brexit/Lexit is still the “Will of the People”

Strange how the BBC have to take their cameras to the far flung corners of England, just to find Leave voters to interview.
Yet when millions of voters come to London, the BBC don't interview any of them.

My Son turns 18 on the 25th of March. He'll enjoy the freedom to live, love and work anywhere in the EU for four days. A million people who voted in the referendum that stripped him of his rights have since died. How can this be right? He'll NEVER vote for a Brexit party.

I had free school meals up to the age of 16. My dad died when I was four, my brother was two and my mum was pregnant. Not having as much as your friends isn't great. But it's better than being hungry. Feeding children is the least a civilised society can do.
#FreeSchoolMeals
Have I missed something? I’ve just listened to the PMs speech and it sounds like civil war has broken out. Well it all seems pretty normal from where I’m sitting. Has all hell broken out where you are? Or is our PM trying to stir up trouble for electoral gain?

Get her on your show. Let a government minister answer her questions directly. If you did this every week you would have the largest viewing figures of any political show on British television.

I’m absolutely certain that Trident could bring this Gatwick drone or even several drones down. We should deploy it immediately. Show them we mean business. I don’t actually have any military experience, but I am on Twitter a lot.

Some anti-maskers even come to the store several times a day just to make trouble. Banning them usually involves the police and isn't a practical option. The police have been very supportive but simply don't have the resources. "Johnson's Covid Marshalls" never arrived. 4/6
Let's get this right. The country is not "paralysed by lockdown". We're in this mess because we have the most incompetent, most dishonest bunch of self-serving shits running the country ever. We don't stand a chance of recovery whilst they are in charge.
Between trying to provide a safe environment she has set up a home delivery operation from scratch and has a store to run on depleted staff levels. This is due to a pandemic that people seem to think doesn't effect retail workers. 5/6
Every anti-masker is offered a mask by the security guards on entry. They are abused all day long - that's their job now. Anti-maskers are again offered masks by Social Distancing Marshals that patrol the isles in high-vis jerkins - who are further abused. 2/6
For all their faults, I would rather fund the BBC than a new royal yacht. Can I opt out of the royal yacht financial package, as I won't be using it?

Johnson has been hammered for weakness of his response to Putin. He now claims he is waiting to see what the EU response is. So much for being an independent sovereign nation. Germany, unhindered by the EU, has acted decisively and without delay.
#Brexit
Matt Hancock has just confirmed to the Commons Health Committee, that health workers dying of
#Covid_19
are NOT being referred to the Health & Safety Executive. How is this even possible?
The PA system is in constant use calling on people to respect the safety measures in place. The abuse is awful. My wife is often accused of being a nazi and is openly referred to as that mask bitch. All all day long - every day. 3/6
The BBC are not permitted to accept advertising. Yet they are running this story on the news.
“Wetherspoons are reducing the price of a pint by 20p to show the economic benefits of leaving the EU”
This must be worth a fortune. Who in the BBC is profiting?

Boris Johnson launches a full blown attack on Labour in his victory speech. Labour’s response is to attack the new leader of the LibDems.
A leader of the Leave campaign becomes PM and Labour attacks the leader of the largest Remain party attacking the Tories.
That’s Labour!
The farmers are telling us they won't be able to get the crops harvested and the Supermarkets are saying they won't be able to import food through customs quickly enough. What are the government proposing we eat next year?

Brexit has revealed things about my fellow citizens that I could never have imagined.
People believe the unbelievable. Opinions are now facts. Inconvenient truths are completely ignored.
Has anybody checked that something hasn’t been added to the water? Seriously!
There are a lot of people who are worried that the £500 covid isolation payment might be fraudulently claimed. Strange they don't seem to be as worried about the £22 Billion that Dido Harding squirrelled away.
Dear Elton, you don’t fancy getting a Pro EU Festival together do you? We need a Summer of Love to counter the bigoted hatred that has been stirred up here. The bleeding hearts and artists, those driven by compassion and vision need a voice.
@eltonofficial
I'm seeing and hearing an increasing number of people complaining they are tired of wearing masks and have lockdown fatigue. Just consider how NHS staff feel when they hear this. Remember how fatiguing it was for them, and how it will be again. Stop moaning!
People simply don’t believe that Mogg, Leadsome and Gove were threatened by Remainers.
There were no arrests, nobody was charged or cautioned.
It’s about time the
@metpoliceuk
made a statement. It’s not as if there weren’t enough officers or cameras present.
#PeoplesVoteMarch
Johnson is clearly terrified that reports of Tory cronies with their snouts in the PPE trough are coming to light. Everything about this PM is dodgy.
#PMQs
Most people are saying they don’t have a preference between Clarke & Harman as a temporary leader of a national unity government.
The longest serving political rivals in the Commons are in agreement that we should come together, and most people agree.
What’s Corbyn’s problem?
Why is it the number of refugees crossing the channel each day, is in the news each day? And yet the number of people needing food banks each day, is not?

If Test & Trace doesn't work it opens the door to bring in more draconian measures. Tonight's

has convinced me they don't want it to work. Because they want to introduce draconian measures. Don't be fooled, Johnson isn't a liberal. Liberals don't buy water cannons.
I remember when a drivers mate was job. They would keep HGV drivers company on journeys, and assist with reversing. I can also remember attending an incident where an HGV had reversed over an elderly man. Reversing is dangerous. Removing it from the HGV test is crazy!
#Brexit
Has anybody else considered that Cummings is in Number 10 to destroy the Tories and allow Farage to walk in? Why has he not been sacked? Why is he fireproof? Is Johnson compromised?
Corbyn refused to join the Remain campaign.
Corbyn called first for Article50 to be served.
Corbyn whipped his MPs to vote for Article50.
Corbyn hasn’t opposed brexit in over 2 years.
Corbyn will Brexit if he wins a general election.
Corbyn has been a Leaver longer than Farage.
Corbynites have been telling:
Moderate Tories
Blairites
Red Tories
Yellow Tories
Tory scum
LibDums
Watson Traitors
etc.
to fuck off for 3 years now.
Clearly Corbyn is the man to lead a government of national unity. Whoever is left can rally behind him.🙄
I tactically voted Labour believing claims that they are 80% Remain, and that they are playing a tactical game. That they will move to 100% Remain.
Three years later they still haven't championed Remain.
The

They are

Lord Hestletine raises an interesting question on
@Channel4News
. Were the Cabinet informed that Johnson was going to announce the prorogation of Parliament? They have all been unavailable for comment ever since.
Ian Blackford of the SNP is the real leader of the opposition now. He effectively leads millions of English Remainers who have been ditched by Labour. Shame on Labour.
Boris Johnson is refusing to attend television interviews.
How many times can someone refuse to attend a job interview before they are rejected, or have their benefits cut?
He’s wrong for the job.
He’s playing the system.

Saddened to hear of incidents of some parents using free school meals vouchers for alcohol & non food products despite clear restrictions & also threatening supermarket staff.
Am speaking to all supermarkets on what more can be done to protect staff and make sure kids get food.
That was lucky!!
The only camera crews on the ground during the

Incredibly they managed to film Rees-Mogg, Leadsom and Gove walking home.

It seems Tory MP Mark Menzies was blackmailed for £6500 by small time scammers. How many Tories are being blackmailed and controlled by a hostile state, or a more sophisticated criminal gang.

Farage stirring up shit about voter fraud in the US election on

I'm putting feelers out for a business idea I have had. It's called "Grouse moor in a box". For £500 you will receive in the post, everything you need to turn your back garden into a grouse moor. Birds, guns and a complimentary bottle of fizzy wine are all included. Who's in?
My top 3 reasons for wanting to Remain in the EU are:
1. PEACE in Europe after 100's of years of warfare and millions of deaths.
2.
If the first point doesn't convince you its worth 30p a day, I can't see the point in listing anything else.

Still blaming the Remainers who warned you that “Project Fear” was real, I see. When will you ever take responsibility for telling people it was alright to play on the train tracks?

I am so tired of the scum that Brexit has brought to the surface. The public persecution and humiliation of minorities is yet another step towards a world in which nobody is safe. We are all minorities in one way or another. I wish the ladies all the best.
