Let me take you through the journey of writing this research paper that documents that #EatOutToHelpOut was causing more #COVID19 infections at a time when a vaccine was in sight.

"irrelevant" to me. The timing of all of this #whatsappleak is dubious. My interpretation as a "citizen" (in quotes because of #Brexit I cant become British without giving up my German nationality), is that this is an attempt to attack PM Sunak who found a #Brexit compromise
on Northern Ireland with EU. My comments are much more around the process of how as a society we are handling data/evidence/research. And we need to develop a more healthy relationship with research and evidence and "empower the experts". After we had a decade of ...
The continual references to âwith the benefit of hindsightâ are simply not going to wash.
There are far too many of us who know EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED & tragically STILL IS.

Mr Johnson may feel a degree of safety hidden away from scrutiny on holiday, but there are literally 1000s of us whoâve been begging for a pragmatic, intelligent & compassionate response to #COVID19UK - we will not go quietly!

1/ @AndrewBowie_MP on #PoliticsLive, repeating ad nauseam, the predictable #Tory lines that EVERYTHING #DominicCummings said yesterday was only HIS OPINION, that we must focus our minds on the #VaccinationRollout & that âPEOPLEâ just donât care.
2/ Like the many thousands of HCW & SCW colleagues who have worked right through the pandemic caring for ppl with #COVID19 & putting our lives (& the lives of our families) at risk on a daily basis w/ inadequate #PPE, I CARE VERY MUCH!
3/ The success of the #NHS #VaccineRollout CANNOT wipe away the trauma of all the lives lost & irrevocably damaged in the last year, much of it PREDICTED, AVOIDABLE & UNNECESSARY.
And I will not stand by letting this merry band of sycophantic @Conservatives MPs try to do so.

Today #DominicCummings will give evidence to parliament. This is what you donât know. The revelation that he was sitting on SAGE had many consequences. This was one of them

1/. On 5 March 2020, the PM was asked why Britain hadn't locked down
He replied saying "one the theories is that we could #TakeItOnTheChin"
A year ago today - briefed by No.10 - @Peston revealed the govt strategy was to âallow the virus to pass through the entire populationâ.

2/. It was clear that @Peston & his âsenior No.10 sourceâ had not understood #HerdImmunity which - as every virologist will tell you - is an OUTCOME never a STRATEGY
Allowing #COVID19 to spread
without a vaccine would be madness & result in mass deaths.

3/. Rather than correct @Peston & his âsenior No.10 sourceâ @uksciencechief came out publicly to defend âthe strategyâ
#HerdImmunity without a vaccine is, by definition, not a preventative measure
What was going on?!!
The was no lockdown & the #CheltenhamFestival was starting!

It is important to not be churlish and recognise that today's announcement from @RishiSunak is a useful lifeline that will provide some short term support for our beleaguered sector. 1/
However, it clearly is only a lifeline. It is important that we clearly and calmly communicate what will be required to ensure that hospitality can play a lead part in a post-Covid economic recovery. 2/
In my view there are five key steps that we need @RishiSunak to take. Firstly, confirmation that the Coronavirus Job Retention Bonus will be reinstated or replaced. This money was promised from the dispatch box and businesses have it in their cash flow forecasts 3/

What if pubs & restaurants etc had grades of Covid security...
E.g.
Grade 1- distanced tables,
Grade 2- plastic screens between all tables,
Grade 3 *Grade 2* + extractor fan above each table.
So that depending on the infection rate, lock down measures only affected lower grades?

I just feel that helping businesses make those changes might have been a better use of the #EatOutToHelpOut money than literally paying people to increase the infection rate, because it would have protected more businesses long-term...
This would make it so that it's in the financial interest of businesses to make their premises as Covid secure as possible to avoid being hit by future restrictions.
And the #EatOutToHelpOut money would have helped them get there.

That may've been what @MattHancock was SAYING, Kay, but the Government's #messaging has been somewhat different. They should own it.
From #EatOutToHelpOut:
gov.uk/government/new⊠- noting Gov't made a postcode lookup tool for this, which they haven't done for #lockdown rules...

...and unless I'm very much mistaken, it was (and still is) the Government telling kids to #GoBackToSchool:
gov.uk/government/pubâŠ
and Gov't which floated a campaign to get everyone else to #GoBackToWork - even though they quickly back-pedalled:
fullfact.org/health/coronav⊠...

...not to mention egregious rule-flouting by an occupant of @10DowningStreet: classic #DoWhatWeSayNotWhatWeDo!
So if anyone's "to blame" for a second #lockdown, surely this Government - which can't stop trumpeting that it's "#TakingBackControl" - must take SOME #responsibility?

Boy Wonder #RishiSunakâs playing with his spreadsheets again.
Having wrecked the nationâs finances subsidising his bossâs chicken-livered #COVID19(84) contortions, he now wants to bleed #capital formation -weakening the only means of increasing prosperity- because it âpolls wellâ

Testimony to his âgoal-seek first: think laterâ idiot savancy, he doled out ÂŁ600mln helping one sector via #EatOutToHelpOut pub grub bribes but will now claw it back from ALL small businesses via higher taxes!

Tonight at my local Harvester. 5 men, pushing & pulling outside until one starts swinging. He misses a punch & falls, nearly impaling his head on a fence post. In anger he then strips completely naked to continue the fight.
Nobody else wanted to fight after that.

If you're new here...Not all my tweets are making a point.
While I can think of no better metaphor for Brexit than a loud angry man exposing himself in public while everyone else looks on in horror & confusion at why he thought this was a good idea...
This was just a funny story.
