I’m genuinely sorry to see what’s happening to the hospitality industry & the negative effects on so many livelihoods @ChefTomKerridge.

BUT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿hospitality bosses must be prepared to take some responsibility for the current precarious situation.

#COVIDisAirborne #Omicron
1/8
Since #FreedomDay I’ve been to Scotland, Majorca & Berlin.

In ALL, 😷wearing in indoor public spaces is routine, accepted & no one other than the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 make a fuss!

All staff in hospitality #WearAMask & guests wear one when walking through the building/going to the loo.
2/
Vaccine “passes” have not caused the ridiculous outrage seen here & no one has a hissy fit when asked to show proof of vaccination on entering a bar, restaurant, museum, theatre..bc it actually makes ppl feel safer!

Are the English think so different or “special”?
3/
Consumers would be less concerned if places they wanted to frequent during the pandemic felt safer, esp during the colder winter months.

Attention to ventilation is absolutely crucial & seeing staff wearing masks gives ppl confidence that their safety is of importance.
4/
On a special celebratory trip last month my husband & I visited #Marlow & had meals in the Hand & Flowers and The Coach.

No masks, no social distancing, low ceilings, no windows open & no obvious ventilation.

TBH I was rather shocked!
5/
I hope very much that Rishi Sunak takes urgent action to support & protect the hospitality industry at such an important time whilst giving customers the freedom to cancel bookings & protect their loved ones.
6/
I’m only too aware of how this wave will justifiably worry the public & damage many businesses that have just about survived so far.

So I urge you in your capacity as a celebrity chef, to listen to the science of airborne transmission & push for the changes needed so badly.

Good afternoon @Conservatives👋

In the last week myself & countless colleagues + 1000s of wonderful volunteers have been BOMBARDED by requests to DROP EVERYTHING & help w/ the mission for all adults to #GetBoostedNow, many of us giving up much needed days off.

@BorisJohnson
1/7
Volunteers are needed for everything from car park attendants, to clearer uppers, through IT/admin experts to clinicians….there is a job for literally anyone (other than Mark Francois😳), who can spare a few hours!

@10DowningStreet @SteveBakerHW @Mark_J_Harper #MiriamCates

So, could I make a polite request & ask (with absolutely no due respect) that rather than offering 👏👏👏s with one hand & the perfect storm of unmitigated uncontrolled #COVID19 spread & an #NHS in crisis with the other…

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg , you & fellow libertarian @Conservatives talk endlessly of our FREEDOMs & LIBERTY as if they are shared out evenly across society.

Maybe you are unaware of the realities of life for so many ordinary ppl, maybe you don’t care?
@BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet

If you’re fit & well w/ no co-morbidities, live in a large home w/ a garden, have no financial worries/personal stresses, can easily WFH, do not have to care for a vulnerable adult or child & have access to private healthcare & education, I suspect you may not understand!
2/
If you have space at home for your children to learn in peace & they have access to high quality IT equipment, or you have a nanny to teach & supervise them, you may not appreciate the struggles of ordinary parents who have to juggle childcare & work commitments.

Hi headteachers in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👋…I’ve just returned from another challenging day at work to read this👇🏼….I can’t deny it’s hard to control my fury & astonishment that you’re proceeding with such obvious super spreading events like this.

@NAHTnews @NEUnion @PatrickR_NASUWT @tes

Do some of you not understand the gravity of the current situation?

We’re on the edge of yet another avoidable catastrophe, to be frank we’ve probably gone over the top already, because ppl like @nadhimzahawi think they can outwit a virus….or maybe they simply don’t care😞?!
2/
Putting the obvious risk of acute & #LongCovid to individual children, families & staff aside for a moment, can you explain to me why my colleagues & I should keep putting ourselves at risk whilst some headteachers are behaving in such a reckless & irresponsible fashion?

At what point will @10DowningStreet & @educationgovuk take ownership of their #DeliberateMassInfection of EVERY SINGLE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿CHILD “policy”?

Just how many children need to be affected or die? @nadhimzahawi

How are we meant to explain to parents, families & staff the rationale for having zero mitigations, numerous super spreading events as exponential growth of the #OmicronVariant occurs, in the 10/7 before #Christmas?

How?

Shall we play @Conservatives #COVIDIdiocy snap @AdamBienkov ?

Anyone can play….

Guess which of the 38 #Tory MPs who voted AGAINST requiring 😷s in most public spaces during a pandemic ALSO voted for schools to have NO MITIGATIONS & are indeed PRO-#COVID!
1/8
You won’t be surprised to see this lot grinning back at you.

@SirGrahamBrady & his #UsForThemUK cheer leader pal @stevebaker (of ERG/CRG fame), @DesmondSwayne (“more ppl are killed in car crashes”).
Ofcourse IDS wouldn’t be @MPIainDS if he didn’t vote against the common good.

Moving on…

@EstherMcVey1 @Pauline_Latham @PhilipDaviesUK @gregsmith_uk

Don’t be fooled by their smiles.

With the knowledge that #COVIDisAirborne & a new variant on the loose, only a dangerous or selfish fool would want to remove all protections 10 days before #Christmas!

It’s very concerning that #UsforThemUK are being given platforms to spread #COVIDDisinformation on @GMB & on @bbc5live .

They’re NOT a grass roots parents group & have links to many @Conservatives & to #Antivax groups.

You should know this @susannareid100 @RobbieRinder

1/13🧵
😷s are just 1 part of an array of mitigations needed in schools (+other indoor spaces) to ⬇️#COVID19 transmission.

#LivingWithCOVID is a complete misnomer, it’s a lazy, irresponsible, selfish & unscientific approach that’ll result in many AVOIDABLE deaths.
Is that ok with U?
2/
Whilst child deaths from #COVID19 are thankfully uncommon, did you know that 1 child per week has been dying in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿for many weeks now?
Many 1000s of children have #LongCovid & 100s have lost parents or v close relatives.

Let those numbers sink in @RobbieRinder .
