Because of attitudes like this and the ridiculous Rees Mogg ‘fraternal convivial spirit’ drivel, the Commons now has a major #COVID19 outbreak; staff being told to work from home, masks mandated etc. Selfish and stupid. They carry these traits, and the virus, everywhere.
Sir Jeremy Farrar has resigned from SAGE because of the government’s refusal to listen to scientific advice on #COVID19 measures. With the PM’s example, or lack of it, on the world stage, this is no great surprise frankly. Reckless incompetence. #wearamask#ToryCovidCatastrophe
Everyone else seems to be managing to take the request to wear a mask seriously. It’s so incredibly embarrassing. #COP26#WearAMask#COP26Glasgow

So far the PM has made a speech about James Bond, done a car crash interview about cutting tax on domestic flights and new coal, fallen asleep, and announced he’s flying back to London tomorrow.
Odd that a PM who took back control of all national legislation by leaving the EU can’t change the National Planning Policy Framework by law and ban all new U.K. coal, with his big majority isn’t it. Well it isn’t at all odd, because he can.#COP26Glasgow#cop26#ClimateEmergency
If you hate Insulate Britain, you’d have hated the Suffragettes. Without civil disobedience, black students wouldn’t have been able to attend university in Alabama, India wouldn’t be independent & South Africa would still have Apartheid.
The problem with Richard Madeley and Mike Graham and all those types is that if they'd been on the air in 1913 they'd have been grilling Emily Wilding Davison's supporters on how mean it was to disrupt ordinary horse racing spectators and what about the horse.
Here’s the core of it. The question no one will face when they are prattling on about protests. “Do you know what a 2 degree temperature rise looks like and what it means for your children?”
He has no idea, and isn’t interested. The problem in a nutshell.
It’s such a problem this. People really have no idea of what is coming with the #ClimateCrisis, and sort of numbly switch off to it. When it really explodes (it’s already started), they will all say there wasn’t enough warning and more should have been done. 🤦🏻♂️ #ClimateEmergency
Someone just told me they've been waiting for climate change since they were 15 (which I assume was about 40 years ago) and nothing's changed in that time. I block all climate science deniers instantly, there is no time to waste on that shit.
The government has just u-turned, or should that be u-bent, and accepted the amendment on sewage after all, which is rather embarrassing for all the Tory MPs who have spent two days explaining why they had no choice but to vote against it.
Pressure works. Here, and in a sewer.
Never think twitter activism is a waste of time. Without all of us, this wouldn't have happened. Simple. Now let's see what they actually do. #TorySewageParty#Sewage
