• Political Editor of ITV just now “Isolation of Jeremy Corbyn is becoming more and more stark”.
• Video, Durham on Saturday.
There is now a well honoured tradition in UK politics for 2nd weekend every July. It goes like this:
• 1: Corbyn gets massive applause at Durham Rally
• 2: PLP meet 2 days later to viciously attack him then leak
• 3: MSM then report that Jeremy is increasingly isolated
And check their timelines for fun & you will see it’s true. Every Monday in July after Durham Gala the political editors who attack Jeremy Corbyn as isolated are the exact same journalists who completely ignore the rapturous reception he gets at Durham rally. Blatant media bias.
Current state of UK political journalism:
• Never report the 50 things Jeremy does to fight antisemitism then accuse him of inaction
• Never report the massive applause at Durham then call him isolated
• Never report Labour right Male MPs bullying then call Corbyn a bully

Public Health England yesterday revealed that educational settings were the largest source of CV19 multiple outbreaks of any institution comprising of 36% of outbreaks & over 1,000 in educational setting in England over the last month. See page 24 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
Public Health England also published a surveillance report which showed that 21,000+ infections had occurred in those aged 10-19 in the previous fortnight assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
Thread. The UK Government is at a cross-roads in its CV19 response. I want to lay out in the thread below why so many of the very recent decisions the authorities are making will fail. And why we are set for many thousands more infections & thousands of deaths before Christmas
First, the government in England think this is a "north of England" problem. People work in regions outside which they live. Uni students traveled outside those regions. Data will soon show CV19 Wave II across the whole of England.
2nd, Gvmnt overly focuses on hospitality as the key driver of CV19 Wave II. Data shows the opposite. Care, Work, Family & Education are the 4 key drivers. Social contacts have been kept low in hospitality settings by comparison. The virus doesn't measure "fun" before it infects
•Children can transmit CV19
•1,000 CV19 droplets can survive in air of a classroom for 8 minutes just from 1 person talking
•5,000 UK kids CV19+, 500 hospitalised, 14 dead
•75 teaching staff died of CV19 in Mar & Apr
•2 UK kids have died from Kawasaki (MIS-C), 100+ infected
This is particularly unintelligent. The virus spreads metres in the air with 1,000 Coronavirus droplets just from 1 person talking in the classroom. The cloud survives 8 minutes. Coronavirus won’t understand the rule that it has to stop at the yellow line & not infect your child.
Test & Trace provides 0.0% comfort to a parent sending their child to school. Asymptomatic kids can get Kawasaki (MIS-C) 6 weeks later. 1 infected person talking in classroom can infect entire class and in minutes by spreading their air droplets around the classroom.
Things we know about this Kawasaki linked Coronavirus disease
• Impacts all ages 1-19
• Afro-American kids worse affected
• Heavier kids worse affected
• Develops weeks after CV19
• Not all had CV19
• More severe than Kawasaki
• For now odds are 1000/1 in CV19+ kid
Update on CV19-Kawasaki (PMID) infecting Children:
360 Children infected across 23 countries or states with 5 fatalities
Kawasaki CV19 illness infecting 370 children thus far has caused up to 70% to require intensive care admission - 14 times higher than normal Kawasaki disease. It’s much more severe toxic shock than Kawasaki. 20% end up on ventilators. Paediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome
A 4th nurse from the Philippines has died from Coronavirus. Nurse Leilani Dayrit passed away 2 days ago
God bless Leilani for her 16 years of dedication to the NHS. The contribution Filipino people have made to keeping us safe is humbling
A 31st NHS Worker has now died from Coronavirus.
Rest in peace Nurse Elsie Sazuze who passed away 2 days ago. Elsie grew up in Malawi. Her husband says she understood the risks involved but wanted to do her bit to keep me & you safe. These people are the very best of us.
RIP Nurse Gareth Roberts. A nurse for 40 years, returning from retirement in 2015 to contribute when he could. He is the second person from the Welsh NHS to die from Coronavirus. We will make sure your memory is honoured Gareth. 🏴 🙏 ❤️
