This is my son Alex on his 5th birthday, just days after we started the 1st lockdown of 2020.

No friends or family present, no cards, and at that time, no understanding of why he couldn't see anyone.

It broke our hearts, but we did it to protect people.

Resign @BorisJohnson. This shows a young boy opening a birthday present alone.
January 2021, my son Ashton's 3rd birthday.

Lockdown had been announced a week or so earlier, my son suddenly couldn't see his friends or have his party. It broke his heart.

Again, we followed the rules and he saw nobody.

Resign @BorisJohnson
March 2021, lockdown in effect.

My son spends his SECOND BIRTHDAY IN A ROW, without being able to see family or friends. This was very hard on him as he has Autism & was finding it hard to understand.

You are a liar and a charlatan and should resign @BorisJohnson.
January 2022, Ashton's 4th birthday.

We made a decision; no party & avoid vulnerable grandparents due to Omicron.

You effectively blocked @NicolaSturgeon from putting restrictions in by refusing funds. This drive up cases.

He now has Covid-19, likely caught at nursery. Resign

.@LabourMuslims literally gave you a report on Islamophobia in the Labour Party and you've done NOTHING.

Don't you dare use Muslims as a political point to score from, when you are ignoring it in your own party.

Absolute hypocrisy.
• Labour staffer briefs national media that Muslims are antisemitic: No action.
• Trevor Phillips' Islamophobia: no action
@zarahsultana & @ApsanaBegumMP getting abused: no action
• Islamophobia complaints: no action
• Hires David Blunket despite his comments about Muslims
Labour Muslim MP says that she finds it hurtful that @Keir_Starmer refuses to show any solidarity with her and other Muslim MPs when they suffer Islamophobia.

Weeks ago @zarahsultana said this and still nothing.

Novak Djokovic's legal team are arguing that he should be allowed remain out of custody pending appeal.

I'm sure those in detention would like the same.
Djokovic's legal team are keen to prevent the case being transferred to the Federal Superior Court as it would take too long and affect him playing in the #AusOpen.
Djokovic's legal team plan to challenge his deportation on:

• He isn't a medical risk to the public health wise & he is in good standing.
• Removing him could harm public order more than allowing him to stay.
• There's no evidence of antivax supporters citing him in the media

Cytomegalovirus is a common virus. It can be serious if a woman catches it during pregnancy as she may pass the virus on to her baby.

My son has CMV, if it had been screened for, early treatment could've reduce complications.

@cmvactionuk
…eening-recommendations.service.gov.uk/cytomegaloviru…
2/ A randomised control trial demonstrated a 71% reduction in the risk of foetal transmission when a high dose of Valaciclovir was given to women who seroconvert #CMV, (pass to foetus), in pregnancy.

1st Trimester Screening is a no brainer.
3/ The Valgan Toddler Study, a randomised control trial, showed no efficacy of late treatment where there is hearing loss caused by CMV, so the only opportunity to preserve hearing is by treatment in the new-born period.

Neonatal CMV Screening could prevent children going deaf.
