It’s ridiculous that women are being told to call 999 to check if the person in front of them is a police officer. Couzens WAS a police officer. Even if Sarah Everard had called 999, what would have happened differently? She would have been told that yes, Couzens is an officer.

Unbelievable. Turns out @MattHancock has been using his private email to do government business - potentially hiding his dodgy deals with mates from both his own officials & public scrutiny. If he were a doctor, he’d have been struck off by now. https://t.co/XoB0qv7U9i

If you have been offered your vaccine but have not yet booked, make it your priority today. Ask your friends, colleagues, neighbours - have they had their vaccine & if not how can you help them get it. Don't hesitate. #VaccinesWork #ThirdWave

This is like buying half of a life vest, and thinking that’s good enough to jump in a lake. Get your second shot.

Nearly 8 percent of those who got initial Pfizer or Moderna shots missed their second doses. State officials want to prevent the numbers from rising.
