Yesterday I attended the funeral of a family friend who died of coronavirus. His daughter was not allowed to say goodbye because she could be infected. But the prime minister's chief adviser thought it right to travel 260 miles, with the virus, to be with his parents. Appalling.

Yes, no one has mentioned “England” this week.
In Trump's interview with The Sun during his UK visit he also said, "You don't hear the word 'England' as much as you should. I miss the name England." cnn.it/2urlwDd

It’s utterly ludicrous that Boris Johnson, a man who has had Covid, is fully vaccinated, has no symptoms, and has tested negative, has been forced to isolate. I hope he now sees the ridiculousness of the NHS “ping” regime and changes it fast.

“The [#YellowHammer leak] is a very old document, it's something that poses some of the risks that might come about and the solutions as to how to avoid them. What a lot of people are doing is reading the risks but they're not reading the solutions to those risks.“ @tomhfh

To give you an insight into NHS waiting lists atm. Last week my GP made an urgent referral for an appointment at Lewisham hospital. They have just called to say the earliest appointment is 29th March 2023. “Would 9am work?” they asked. I laughed and then cried. So frustrating.

This has really been a week for recognising my own male privilege. Not once have I had to get off a bus early because of a pervert, or drop my location to a whatsapp group of friends during a nighttime walk. The length that women have to go to to stay safe has been eye opening.
The discussion around Sarah Everard makes me so sad about how normalised for women things like personal safety are. I remember a man following me as I was walking home asking for my number once and I was like “oh great now I have to detour so he doesn’t know where I live”
