Indeed. This isn’t acceptable @SkyNews given the importance of clear public messages. The UK isn’t lifting all Covid restrictions tomorrow - England is. Restrictions on eg size of gatherings, distance, face masks will remain in place in 🏴 for now, as we ease up gradually.

Sad to see some social enterprises having to close! Having came through the award winning @streetandarrow programme as a trainee recreating my life from a life of violence and despair. I urge people to support social enterprises during these hard times if you can. #Hope
You probably know the feeling of #Shame. We've all felt it. But often it's so unbearable to us that we develop a repertoire of ways to fend it off -- everything from avoiding any risk, to substance abuse, to passing the shame on to our own children ahaparenting.com/blog/child-tox…
Our communities continue to play an important role in protecting children and young people at risk from abuse and neglect. If you are concerned for a child or young person, it's much better to say something than do nothing #KeepingKidsSafeC19 @childprotectsco
