'There's a serious gender divide that we have to work to address.'

Chair of Women & Equalities Committee @carolinenokes responds to @ranvir01's question about whether women are going to be disproportionately affected by the economic downturn.

#GMB
'We went into the pandemic with female employment at a record high. We must not allow that to go backwards.'

@carolinenokes says 'we have to make sure' that the economic recovery is 'designed to help women every bit as much as men'.

@ranvir01 | #GMB
'The government have to be aware of that but in the end, it does have to be safety first.'

While he agrees with @carolinenokes' comments, @IainDale says the government has presumably 'got scientific evidence' to delay the opening of some businesses.

The Public Accounts Committee report described the govt's response to the Covid crisis in the social care sector as 'slow and at times negligent.'

Chair of PAC @Meg_HillierMP says govt didn't think about 'knock-on effect' of protecting the NHS and they should've 'acted faster.'
'It’s the result of the way we organise social care.'

Baroness @rosaltmann says that even though we knew that the frailest elderly people were 'the most vulnerable', the aim of 'protecting the NHS overtook the protection of the lives of these people.'
'They didn't care...We are still second class citizens.'
