Professor Martin Green, Chief Executive of Care England, tells the Health Select Committee that despite what others have said "there were cases of people....who were symptomatic discharged into care homes."
Professor Green: "We should have been focusing on care homes from the start of this pandemic. The focus was on the NHS. Support was withdrawn." There was "destruction of our supply chains on PPE. We didn’t see everyone who needed a hospital intervention going to hospital."
James Bullion, Association of Directors of Adult Social Services in England: "We still don’t have an effective supply chain, although things have improved since March."

The Leader of the Labour Party, Sir Keir Starmer, has told us on the #CoronavirusNewscast: "I really hated selling myself to the membership."
Asked whether the challenge of getting the Labour party through what had been "a turbulent time" felt "as he expected" he said:

“For me personally, I really hated selling myself to the membership and I much prefer leadership decisions as leader of the Labour Party.”
“I’m much more comfortable in this than I am in the campaign.”

A Labour candidate who’s been deselected five weeks before the election says she was a victim of a “pretty sustained campaign of bullying and undermining,” reports @BBCShropshire #GE2019
@BBCShropshire Laura Davies was told on Monday after a phone hearing by Labour’s ruling National Executive that the party wouldn’t support her candidacy – which would have been her third in the Shrewsbury & Atcham constituency.
@BBCShropshire Speaking to BBC Radio Shropshire, Dr Davies said she wasn’t expecting the decision, and says she was unaware of some of the complaints against her, which she says dated back to 2017 and were completely trivial or fabricated.

The PM spoke to Angela Merkel at 8am where a No10 source says she made clear a deal is ‘overwhelmingly unlikely’, and suggested to Boris Johnson that a deal would never be possible unless Northern Ireland stayed in a customs union, following EU rules (via @bbclaurak)
@bbclaurak The source described the call as ‘challenging’, and said that if that was the EU’s position a deal is ‘essentially impossible not just now, but ever.’ The source described the call as a ‘clarifying moment’ and made clear...
@bbclaurak ... that the EU is ‘willing to torpedo the Good Friday agreement’ and was essentially demanding a veto.

Some of Jeremy Corbyn’s closest allies interfered in the independent process designed to deal with accusations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, former party officials have told @BBCPanorama
The former staffers say the leader’s office tried to provide ‘instruction’&officials brought in by the party’s General Secretary, Jennie Formby ‘downgraded’ some punishments to a ‘slap on the wrist’. Mr Corbyn insists his team has never interfered in disciplinary decisions.
But emails leaked to the programme suggest that Ms Formby tried to influence the selection of the disciplinary panel for the case of Jackie Walker, the former vice chair of the left wing campaign group, Momentum....
