If the message has not got through, then here it is again. Our govt has abandoned us. It has deliberately smashed social solidarity. Set us one against another. By foregoing its responsibility to protect, it has become an illegitimate, failing regime @Conservatives @sajidjavid

We are on our own. As we were at pandemic start. Stitching together mutual aid & joint action. Organised society & communities can respond:
Corporates - let people work from home, mask up frontline staff & customers. Require social distancing. Set up your own test, track, trace

Civil Society - come together as whole services. Pool your people & resources. Maintain Covid-19 infrastructure (ignore govt advice post July 19)

Political leaders - now is the time for that #ProgressiveAlliance #DemocraticAlliance Really. Absolutely right now. Not post @uklabour conference. But today. Including left behind @Conservatives
@Keir_Starmer @EdwardJDavey @sianberry @jon_bartley

Citizens - uphold social norms of mask wearing, social distancing etc. Defend anyone who is attacked for doing so. Speak up. Don't let people be alone in public situations.

We need to act. Since our govt won't. We can take personal responsibility by rejecting their post July 19 'guidance'. & keeping faith with one another through values of care, kindness & solidarity. All parts of society can do this. #NHS @sajidjavid @Conservatives @ReicherStephen

Includes - schools, health and social care #NHS, public services. Without which our civil society breaks down.

Trade Unions - Keep talking to employers. Organise strikes if members are put at risk. Most importantly, don't stand in way of cross-party cooperation. Might be needed immediately for govt of national unity. Or for next GE #ProgressiveAlliance @GMB_union @The_TUC @CommunityUnion
