#PrimeMinister do you really understand the seriousness & gravity of what you’ve done?
You have today signed the unnecessary death warrants of 1000s of innocent ppl & consigned many 1000s of others to long term debilitating illness.🧵 @BorisJohnson@10DowningStreet@sajidjavid
2-Despite the determination to use a #RideTheWave analogy…
THIS IS NOT A GAME!
The lives (& avoidable deaths) of ordinary people may not bother you #PrimeMinister but they do bother my #NHS colleagues & I, & it pains us not to be able to care for people appropriately & safely.
3-The #NHS is NOT “in danger of being overwhelmed”
IT IS OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW!
How anyone w/ even an iota of understanding of healthcare can’t see, that for ppl having an MI or other v serious event the need to make their own way to 🏥 is both UNSAFE & UNACCEPTABLE! #nhscrisis
4-#NHS staff are breaking, some are already broken.
Tragically >1600 have paid the ultimate price of working during a pandemic with their lives, many in inadequate #PPE.
Avoidable #COVID AND NON-#COVID harms to staff & patients are off the scale - #WorldBeating you might say?!
5-The decision to bow to #CRG & #Tory rebel pressure rather than protect the British people may not ultimately be your downfall, as much as I would wish it.
It may be #downingstreetparty gate or issues surrounding the funding of your flat decoration…
6-…but DELIBERATELY FORCING THE TOTAL COLLAPSE of the #NHS during a pandemic, causing untold human suffering in the process, will be remembered as the actions of an incompetent, narcissistic leader who’s only priority was to stay in power!
7-One way or another, your brutal & murderous ‘reign’ will come to an end but the HoC statement today made it very clear that you neither care about or have any interest in the health & wellbeing of patients, health (& social care) staff or the general public. #WilfulNegligence
8-Keep looking over your shoulder @BorisJohnson, you never know when the plotters within your party will decide you have served your useful purpose!
You may believe you are ‘king of the world’- today you used your power to extinguish something very special.
Is it the number of patients in intensive care units?
We all welcome the news that #Omicron appears to be causing less severe disease but hospital admissions for #COVID19 are clearly rising & this will still affect the ability to provide safe non-COVID care. @AmandaPritchard 2/
This v informative update from @ChrisCEOHopson today paints a stark picture of how finely things are balanced especially when staffing levels are factored in to the equation.
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.
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!
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…
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!

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. @nadhimzahawi

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.

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”?

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.
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?
