Emily @maitlis joins @franunsworth & DG Tony Hall in the Guardian/Observer labelling anyone who observes a clear pattern of Establishment/Tory bias at the #BBC 'conspiracy theorists' theguardian.com/media/2019/dec… #BBCbias
@maitlis @franunsworth In my recent letter to DG Tony Hall, I point out that the term 'conspiracy theory' used & abused by #BBC staff is a CIA construct, employed to close down critical public debate docs.google.com/document/d/1T5…
#BBC license fee payers should ask themselves why a succession of BBC management & senior staff are writing articles in the @guardian, using CIA devices designed to shut down public debate on #BBCbias?

I've had enough of Senior #BBC Management & journalists gaslighting the British public & refusing to apologise for the BBC's appalling #GeneralElection2019ً coverage. Complaint letter to Director Tony Hall here: docs.google.com/document/d/1T5… #BBCbias
@bbclaurak @Renegade_Inc @nw_nicholas @medialens @BBCNewsPR @TheMendozaWoman @LabourLeft @SouthHackneyLab @ta_mills @D_Raval A key point here is the #BBC are completely out of touch with their audience, partly because BBC complaints & monitoring is palmed off to outsourcing crooks #CAPITA. Send your GE2019 #BBCbias complaints direct to BBC management instead👇docs.google.com/document/d/1T5…
@bbclaurak @Renegade_Inc @nw_nicholas @medialens @BBCNewsPR @TheMendozaWoman @LabourLeft @SouthHackneyLab @ta_mills @D_Raval Here is Tony Benn's 5 tests for those in power. #BBC top brass answer public complaints with nothing but contempt, because they don't represent our interests, and are in no way accountable to us. #BBCbias cc @jimwaterson

Theres been lots of talk recently on the role of Hedge Funds profiting from shorting the £ with #NoDeal Brexit & channelling funds to PM @BorisJohnson bylinetimes.com/2019/09/11/bre…
@BorisJohnson While obviously of concern, the focus on no-deal £ short selling misses the bigger picture of financial deregulation, & the #Brexit shock being seen an opportunity by the #CityofLondon financial elite to slash "red tape" & lower taxes express.co.uk/news/politics/…
@BorisJohnson In response to Johnson's "let's spend £350m extra a week on the #NHS" claim, Dominic Cummings suggested Vote Leave would not have won without it news.sky.com/story/boris-jo… #Brexit

If this leak to ⁦@guardian⁩ is right, and if it implies that the government’s policy of managing the epidemic peaks is likely to require the hospitalisation of 7.9m over 12 months, the question arises why Chinese-style suppression via... theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…
coercive social distancing followed by radical behavioural change would not be preferable. This Public Health England document, if accurate, will test the cross-party and four nations unity on how best to tackle the #COVIDー19 crisis
Obviously, and as I said yesterday, we will see coercive isolation of over 70s for four months, quite soon. But there is still uncertainty over the extent and timing of restrictions on social interaction to be placed on the rest of the population, and how...

you guys, i’m having a lovely time in my eerily deserted city. i already had covid19 in early feb, i stay stocked up on supplies + i love a reason to knit and read at home all day

i know it’s new to a lot of people, though, so let me be your infectious disease/shut-in guide. AMA
the first thing everybody’s going to want to do is learn how to knit. we’ve all got some long days at home to put in and you can only binge so much tv. knitting keeps you mentally stimulated AND it has a ton of mental and emotional health benefits to ease those pandemic nerves.
the next thing you want to do is buy in bulk and, if possible, get that shit delivered, rather than go to the store.

you live in a small space and can’t store bulk items, you say? so do i. get creative. make it work. you’ll be thankful for that case of tissues later.

.@govabbott declared the coronavirus is a statewide public health disaster and added that TX is on the verge of being able to significantly ramp up its testing capacity.

He also finally clarified the state's testing history so far + current capabilities. bit.ly/2IGuZ0O
@GovAbbott Abbott said that in total, there have been 220 Texans tested by either a state public lab or by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There are another 75 Texans being tested currently. #coronavirus #COVID19 bit.ly/2IGuZ0O
.@govabbott also announced that San Antonio is opening the first state drive-through with testing capabilities that will initially prioritize health care workers and high-risk patients. bit.ly/2IGuZ0O

Making predictions is generally a fool's errand, but I will do it, anyway. This week (I think tomorrow), the stock market will get everyone's attention. It will prompt Congress to begin work on a stimulus/bailout bill for airlines, hotels, and beyond. #Coronavirus #COVID19 . 1/x
It is time for a MAJOR public health & health care bill that can address this epidemic on a scale & scope that the paltry $8.3B passed law can not do. Here are some ideas of what should be included. The cost will be in the HUNDREDS of Billions of dollars, in all likelihood. 2/x
We need to make certain that people can be identified with #Coronavirus & have the capacity to isolate & quarantine without fear for financial ruin. This means covering out of pocket costs for those who are insured & covering all costs for those who are not! 3/x

Coronavirus #COVID -19 appears to be jumping at a rate of 117 new cases per hour. Monitoring closely as this seems to indicate a faster rate of infection than was previously reported. Could be an anomaly. The deaths did not jump however... so that’s good.
