Thanks everyone who helped to share this!
Perhaps unsurprisingly - this isn't getting the traction it deserves. Please help by retweeting if you care about learning lessons from the appalling mismanagement of the COVID19 epidemic in the UK. We had FIVE TIMES the death rate of East Asian countries.

What no-one is saying on #BBCBreakfast is that when we were in the EU, we could return asylum seekers to the first EU country they had arrived in. With Brexit, Britain lost that right.

Trump will never do this. A) He is in Putin's pocket; B) He is a coward.

The Reform Party got their goons to physically push me, even when I was outside, in places the public is ALLOWED to be. Imagine if they had control of the whole country... 😬 THEY ARE A FASCIST PARTY! WAKE UP!
