I'm a single parent of a severely autistic child. When I'm unwell I get on with it. Dominic Cummings and Mary Wakefield used parental panic to go on a family gettaway for Easter. I've not had overnight respite since 1st March. You can stuff "your civic duty" #r4today @BBCr4today

- Bit of sad news from me. My dad passed away early this morning. He was in hospital for treatment of another ailment but unfortunately contracted Covid-19. He had got very frail, and his alzehimers was very bad. 2020 really is a year I'd like to forget.
- Hey Nick, wanna mention that French Fireman came over with 10k tests to help get the backlog moving? That the Polish Army also arrived to help out? That Operation Brock is a complete failure and international embarrassment. And no Justin, it's not a laughing matter. #r4today
- Empty vehicles coming back is not economically sustainable. EU drivers don't want to come to UK. UK drivers aren't allowed to pick up second load on same trip. If only the BBC had prioritised facts over false "balance" #r4today
- Or maybe people should just chill out and concentrate on the more important things?
- So, have I got this right: If you are a cleaner for a Premier league club you are getting a 20% paycut and being moved onto the Govt furlough scheme. But these clubs still have the funds to pay the chairman and players 100% of their inflated wages? 🤔 #r4today
- Why is Licence Fee money being wasted on this when only party members can vote?
- "the state the country is in" says Priti Patel, a member of a party that's been in Govt since 2010 #r4today
- Don't marry him.
- I think it's disgusting that Starmer is rushing through assisted dying legislation rather than his Govt sorting out the funding for end of life care. His manifesto was about addressing our broken NHS and social care, not promises made to TV personalities. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
- I refuse to surrender and "end division". I refuse to give Theresa May a mandate for brexit under the pretence of national unity. #Remain
- Alan Duncan calls Priti Patel the most ever hated minister for International Development. I'm guessing the foreign office recieved many complaints. 😬 #ToriesAtWar
- Replying to @leakylikeI'm always intrigued as to what these EDI officers have done for disability inclusion? Just seems to be implementing Stonewalls law rather than disability accessibility.
- Although that's the problem. "low" skilled is wrong. Care is not a low skill. Not everyone can do it. No one would call a nurse low skilled. We need to change how we re-evaluate what constitutes low/high skill.
