Why not use PA systems at football grounds to create atmosphere by relaying sounds of fans watching in their homes to the players? Surely Sky can devise the IT kit so the more people cheer at home the louder it is in the stadium! Gary Lineker

I agree with this message splashed across the Mirror today. Our #frontlineheroes deserve a real reward for their hard work. Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak please give all NHS workers a proper pay rise. pic.x.com/ylA3J0e1uv

More holes in Cummings’ story than my grandad’s string vest. His wife was ill so should have isolated- he had no symptoms until Durham. They’ve had no tests. Test your eyesight by driving your family 30 miles on wife’s birthday? His wife can drive! As well as write imaginatively

We are paying 45 million pound to Serco for contact tracing. Serco’s 18000 call handlers contacted only 10,000 contacts in two weeks. Meanwhile local public health teams contacted 77600 contacts ie almost eight times more according to DHSC Test and Track data.

Read the Ben Okri Grenfell Tower poem: Sometimes it takes an image to wake up a nation From its secret shame. They did not die when they died; their deaths happened long before It happened in the profit margins. It happened In the laws. benokri.co.uk/news/grenfell-…

Allyson Pollock spot on. Exactly why no reaction to Leicester until so late. An elitist government which thinks everything can be solved by them giving our money to their donors in the private sector. No trust in us, our communities, our local government, our local workers.

2. NHSE are privatising and closing public services under cover of COVID instead of rebuilding capacity and legislating to reintegrate services and reinstate SoS duty. Pushing ahead -no scrutiny and wasting billions of pounds. It’s tine politicians held NHSE and DHSC to account.

UK is now a KAKOCRACY. Government by cronies, nonsense algorithms and the shadowy Mekon. Covid-19 shambles of government mismanagement, paid for in BAME lives. PM on holiday. Ofqual disaster for nation's children. Nero on holiday. Brexit cliff now looms. What chance competence?

Florence Nightingale’s Public Health Act, Covid-19 and the empowerment of local government. Florence Nightingale has been lionised during the pandemic for trivial reasons. Her major role in the elimination of epidemic disease has not been recognised. historyandpolicy.org/policy-papers/…

It's been revealed that Conservatives in Scotland have backed a 4% pay rise for nurses. Join me and ask Matt Hancock if he'll back at least this much for nurses in England too? speakout.38degrees.org.uk/campaigns/a-qu…
