RT @RichardJMurphy: I’ve read the morning papers and listened to the political commentary. And what gets me is that it seems almost no one appreciates that when between 25% and 50% of all people in the UK are not going to be able to pay their bills this winter what we’re facing is systems breakdown.

@tmarino1 @RossMackinnonWB Unless they just want someone they can push around? Is that it?

For all your criticism, not one of you has addressed the actual question: Why Truss?

@tmarino1 @RossMackinnonWB 100% with you on that. The issue is that the alternative to Sunak is Truss.

I would love you to clarify in what way her skills and experience ahead of the guy who was chancellor through the pandemic and did a pretty good job of it.

RT @chrischirp: Child school absence was highest in autumn 2020 & summer 2021, when whole classes & yr groups were isolation.

But contact tracing stopped for kids in summer '21. Isolation of cases stopped this year.

It has NOT solved child absence being much higher than pre pandemic. 12/21
