.@BorisJohnson Please support the plan for a #TRIPSwaiver on COVID-19 Intellectual Property. In the fight against coronavirus, it cannot make sense to prioritise big pharma profits over human health. #NoCovidMonopolies#Vaccine4All
This #EarthDay we're holding @BorisJohnson to account for his climate promises ahead of today's Leaders Summit on Climate, & we've plastered our message on the front of the Washington Post to ask @POTUS to help.
Without the #UniversalCredit increase more than one million people are likely to need to turn to a #foodbank. I’m joining @TrussellTrust to ask @RishiSunak to #KeepTheLifeline in this year’s #Budget to stop more people being swept into poverty.
With fake news & lies around, we need the BBC. The Culture Secretary questions the need for a public broadcasting service. Sign the 38 Degrees petition to tell him it's needed.
@ethelmags@Ord_Off Refreshing to see this amidst general gloom! Christians are called to speak out for truth, honesty, justice, compassion, the deprived, the voiceless. Wherever that puts us politically.
The coming lockdowns were entirely avoidable: the government's catastrophic handling of the pandemic has led us back to the abyss. Talking that over on @JeremyVineOn5 tomorrow, Channel 5, 9.15am
It’s especially important to mark #WorldMentalHealthDay this year. Praying that God’s love, comfort and hope be known by everyone who is struggling - and that we will be light for each other.
‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.’ (John 1:5)
This year's Upper6th/Y13 have already lost a big chunk of their 2-year ALevel courses and no-one knows whether they will lose more tuition time or if exams will be pisdible. To give them some certainty they need teacher assessment instead of exams next summer.
The show must go on, says new head of Ofqual - absolutely no way exams should be cancelled next summer.
Impossible! With past and continuing educational disruption, the only fair way forward is teacher assessment predicated on completed course work - quality assured by Ofqual!
Not in my name! Dismayed & ashamed with Internal Market Bill: UK joins dodgy countries that break international treaties when they're inconvenient. Thanks, BoJo!
We must try & stop outspoken opponents of BBC's freedom to hold govt to account from being given control of BBC. We need BBC for that very reason, especially now. Please sign 38Degrees petition.
Charles Moore, a trustee of climate denier think tank the Global Warming Policy Foundation, is about to take charge of the BBC. His appointment will serve to gag any attempts by the corporation to #TellTheTruth about the climate crisis.

So this week we learnt:
Rail franchises don't work.
Water privatisation didn't work
Privatised testing and tracking doesn't work.
A government run by privatisation obsessives doesn't work.
I wonder ... could it be that we need to rethink privatisation? 🤔
