Possibly naive question: why isn’t hugely ramping up hospital and ICU capacity on a permanent basis part of the long term covid solution alongside vaccines? Yes, spare capacity is expensive. But so are pandemics. (This is a genuine question to which I’d like an answer!).

This Tory Government: there’s nowhere to hide for those breaking the law. Also this Tory Government: the police don’t investigate crimes of the past. Don't pretend to be the party of law and order if you insist the rules don’t apply to you. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/dominic-…

They’re lying to you and they’re laughing at you.

Millions of families took Government advice last Christmas and stayed at home - even if it meant being apart from loved ones. Meanwhile the Government threw parties which they lied about. Then they laughed about lying to you.

Boris Johnson is not fit to lead us.

They hosted a party during lockdown. They knew it was against the rules. They knew they couldn’t admit it. They thought it was funny. Then they covered it up. The Prime Minister must hand over everything the Government knows about the parties in Downing Street to the police.

The Conservatives continued to lie about breaking their own rules. They thought the public would forget, but we haven’t. Enough is enough.

The Prime Minister had the opportunity to finally come clean about Downing Street’s lockdown-breaking parties. But he didn’t even turn up. Boris Johnson holds the British public in contempt.

In May 2020, the Government told us to only meet one other person outside. Millions of people stuck to the rules. Often separated from loved ones. Meanwhile, Boris Johnson’s Conservatives ignored them.

BREAKING: The Conservative Party just voted against keeping energy bills low. Instead of providing working families, pensioners and businesses with security, they are abandoning them.

Wow. Sky News have pulled together all ELEVEN parties being investigated. Seeing the package is just shocking. They really had a grand old time, didn't they.

A truly decent MP asks a perfectly fair question. He is told there is an investigation to find out the facts. What facts? That the party happened? That the PM attended? That it broke the rules? We need no investigation to establish this. What we need is an apology & a resignation

Delighted to have Louise Haigh at our CLP meeting tonight. Looking forward to hearing more about Labour's vision for transport.
