#china is sending practical help to Europe to get control of the #COVIDー19 crisis. What are the so-called journalists spreading racist hate doing apart from creating their own badges of shame? What on earth happened to Allison Pearson?
#china informed the world of a problem in December. If we were slow to act and to make preparations that’s on us and our governments. It’s beyond disgusting to try and make out this is the problem of one country or one nationality! A virus doesn’t need a passport.
The stories were all out there day after day in responsible papers like the Financial Times. It’s not as if anything was being hidden. WHO were on it. Why were out governments not tracking and acting promptly, sourcing test kits and protective equipment.
The markets were also reacting. The warnings were there too.

And remember the people of China lost people too. 3,277 deaths.
The Johnson administration dropped lots of balls. Simple as that. Blaming China won’t cut it! #COVIDー19

Can I ask a stupid question?

Why does the government need the #covid19bill and specifically one to last for 2 years with no scrutiny arming themselves with all those powers if they can’t even bring themselves to close down parks for 14 days? #StayAtHome
Especially when there is already legislation which can be used for emergency situations? #COVIDー19

I am a bit confused with this whole immigration discussion which no longer seems to be about foreigners stealing jobs.

1. If the idea is that the jobs done by migrants can now be done by Brits why will technology help - those Brits still won’t be needed.
2. We have FOM within the UK so why were areas complaining about too many EU recruits not successful in attracting British recruits from other towns and cities?
So if it isn’t about British people for British jobs then what do we conclude? It’s only about language and colour and nativism!

I just find these realisations and pennies dropping extraordinarily tragic. This man didn’t think about his business when he voted leave. It just shows that people were truly taken in by the cherry picking arguments from leave. #brexit /Thread

They were made to believe they could have everything, that nothing would change, that we could still continue enjoying the full effects on business of the SM and CU and FOM whilst not having to accept the costs or reciprocal responsibilities of the four freedoms.
In truth the government will have to try and mitigate the effects on thousands of businesses but I can’t see how they can do that without slashing standards and regulations and the regulations won’t be what you think, they will be those related to workers rights etc.

Hello again, my friends. It is nice to talk to you all again. But, today I feel compelled to address something.

We Need To Talk About China. (Thread)

The rampant racism circulating about the Chinese people in these troubled times greatly disturbs me.
Now in the past, I have been deeply and extensively critical of the Xi and Hu Administrations. And I think with good cause. But I also have many friends in China to this day, and it pains me deeply to see these racist attacks against the Chinese themselves
Not only Chinese people, but, the wide and varied Chinese diaspora and emigrants across many nations. Take these young Britons for example, it breaks my heart to see them lassies suffer like this:

I’ve compiled a list of financial & social supports which hopefully will be consider at the emergency intergovernmental tables convened to combat #COVIDー19.

1. Housing Allowance - immediately expand, accelerate payment and increase amount to reflect true housing costs.
2. Freeze all renovictions and evictions - immediately and without exceptions.
3. Monthly Basic Income - immediately establish and distribute to every citizen.

This is a thread about why it is absolutely essential that we get people out of jails, prisons, & immigration detention during the #COVIDー19 pandemic. It will include information & demands for how to #StopCOVID19inJails .

The health of people inside & all of us depends on it.
This piece by @premaldharia explains how #COVIDー19 could spark a humanitarian crisis inside prisons and jails. slate.com/news-and-polit… #StopCOVID19inJails
Jails and prisons are the perfect incubators for #COVIDー19. Health care in these facilities is often abysmal. This article from @nhbaptiste explains what jails and prisons should be doing to improve access to healthcare. motherjones.com/politics/2020/… #StopCOVID19inJails

🇨🇳 #China (1) | The question is no longer if, but how hard, the #coronavirus will damage Chinese economy (and its trading partners) in 1Q20.
🇨🇳 #China (2) | A blockage of 16 cities (~50 million people) coupled with the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday and prohibition for Cos to return to work soon implies that 1Q will fall below 6% for the first time since QoQ figures are recorded.
🇨🇳 #China (3) | The impact will probably broaden from retail sales, tourism/transportation...
