Meet 'Tabitha' another carer who spent 28 days off sick with Covid-19 symptoms and was forced to rely on charity for help. Since returning to work she often walks an hour both ways because "with one meal I couldn't afford transport" she tells @JackieLongc4

Both women asked not identified for fear of losing their jobs & accommodation. They are low paid, regarded as low skilled, & without question in normal times, low valued.
Tonight clap for Vivienne & Tabitha, and thousands of others like them, when you come out to clap tonight.

Dundee council says carers have access to hand sanitiser. Susan says it’s like gold dust.
But there’s so much more to Susan’s story..
But there’s so much more to Susan’s story..
Susan became a carer two decades ago. She has been caring for some of her clients for years. They are like a second family. She lies awake at night worrying she will carry the virus into their homes and they will die.

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
This #ClapForBoris thing. Put down your burning torch and have a listen.
Dominic Cummings has one technique. It's not complicated. It works like this
Find a group
Divide the group
Create conflict
Do what you want while everyone is distracted

#ClapForBoris is very much #ClassicDom.
You take a group - people who use #ClapForTheNHS or #ClapForOurCarers
Divide it - using #ClapForBoris
Create conflict - happening now
Do whatever it is he is planning
YOU ARE VITAL TO THIS PLAN

If you remove step 2 - you automatically remove step 3 and that means step 4 can't happen.
So, how do you stop #ClassicDom dividing the group?
Ignore him. Ignore #ClapForBoris. Get on with your lives. Do not mention it. Do not rise to it. IGNORE IT.

As leader of @Conservatives - the party that has systematically undermined the health & social care sectors for a decade under austerity cuts - this could not be more ironic (3)

In 1962, John F Kennedy visited NASA. Amongst the room of scientists, he noticed a janitor mopping the floor.
When he introduced himself, and asked the man what he was doing, the reply came:
“Well, Mr President, I’m helping put a man on the moon.”
Why do we bring this up? 👇

We’ll get to that, just hold on.
These are concerning times for all of us, but there ARE positives to take from the current situation.
Firstly, institutions like our @NHSuk are finally getting the recognition they deserve for the care they give #clapforNHS #clapforourcarers

The outpouring of love for the NHS has been wonderful to watch, and got us thinking.
It’s time for us to shout-out our very OWN unsung heroes – the people who are still working flat-out to make sure people in Doncaster can live in safety.

Day 1 of family self-isolation has been profitable: that’s the teddies all sorted into size order... #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingFromHome #KidsAtHome @nickisapiro
Day 2 of family self-isolation has been more academic in nature: the kids have (unprompted!) sorted their books into alphabetical order by the first letter of the author’s surname. I’ll teach them MHRA referencing tomorrow. #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingfromhome @nickisapiro
Day 3 of self-isolation has been more practice-led, with a focus on architecture and engineering. That’s just my take on things; the kids called it den building. #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingfromhome #KidsAtHome @nickisapiro
