If you haven't watched last night's #Panorama , you really should. Everything in it is shocking and should be reason enough for swathes of resignations at all levels of government. Here is a photo of my friend, a nurse on a #COVID19 ward, before and after they downgraded her PPE.

Just in case you ever need the details, between 1999 and 2016, the UK had the following voting record when it comes to EU laws that were passed: Yes (the UK wanted the law): 2466 times Abstained (the UK wasn't too sure): 70 times No (the UK didn't want it, but tough): 56 times

Just a little reminder of the EU referendum results: Leave: 17,410,742 Remain: 16,141,241 Leave majority: 1,269,501 If 634,751 had voted Remain instead of Leave, Remain would have won. Not a very large number for #CambridgeAnalytica to have influenced to swing the result.

On the doorsteps, I sometimes get committed Conservative voters tell me about Boris Johnson's government's handling of Covid that they don't think anyone else could have done a better job. This inquiry is telling us that almost anyone could probably have done a better job.

Very pleased to see this. Far too many children, parents and families are being failed and having to fight for support for #SEND . Local authorities, including @Essex_CC , seem to make decisions based on money rather than what children need. That has to stop.

No child, or their family, should have to wait so long or fight so hard to have their needs met. The Conservative Government has woefully underfunded both schools and local authorities, meaning that many parents simply canโ€™t get their children the support they deserve.

At todayโ€™s Full Council meeting of @Essex_CC , I proposed a motion to support the provision of more health & GP services across #Essex . Iโ€™m delighted that it received unanimous, cross-party support โ€“ something that is very rare at @Essex_CC . Find out more in my video. #NHS

@richardhorton1 @mikegalsworthy This is my friend. She's a nurse who's been working on a #COVID19 ward for the last two weeks. This is a comparison of her PPE two weeks ago (left) and last night (right). Yesterday, her glove had a finger missing. Neither appropriate nor safe.

This is absolutely shocking! I had hoped that #Chelmsford would escape this disgraceful practice but no such luck. This must stop - but like so many other awful things that are going on, it's going to take a change of government to happen. #GTTO

Raw sewage dumping in Chelmsford's rivers has soared by an outrageous 1000% in 2023 compared to 2022. People in Chelmsford are sick of Conservative MPs voting time and again to allow water companies to get away with this environmental vandalism.

This scandal is affecting hundreds of thousands of leaseholders right across the country, including in #Chelmsford . The government's recent announcement that they are making some leaseholders take out loans to cover remedial costs is shameful.

Boris Johnson completely demeans the office of Prime Minister. He stands for the exact opposite of truth, dignity, honesty and integrity that I believe our country to be founded on. The UK finds itself in a very sad and precarious situation. It's well past time for him to go.

I see another airliner crashed in the UK today killing everyone on board. Well, it didn't really, but the equivalent number of people died from #COVID19 . Why are we being encouraged to celebrate the pubs opening when so many people are dying? Who does that? #Britain2020

Only a few minutes into the ITV debate and the thing that is immediately obvious is that neither of these two are statesmen. They don't make me feel proud to be British - they make me sad for what once was. Britain deserves far, far better than this mediocrity.

Yes, schools should close. No, this wasn't inevitable. But yes, it was predictable. Our NHS is overwhelmed. Our teachers are being put in a horrendous situation. All of this is entirely the responsibility of a Conservative government that has failed to prepare for anything.

Bye bye Boris. Good riddance to the man who was never fit to be a Member of Parliament let alone a Prime Minister. His incapability of acknowledging that facts, truth and integrity should apply to him never left him, as his resignation letter proves. Appalling lack of humility.

@vickyford What a load of rubbish. Point 1 is a matter of opinion. Point 2 is a wishlist, not a certainty. Point 3 is less cooperative. Point 4 does nothing of the sort. You are taking my rights to live, work and travel freely in the EU. That doesn't protect my rights - it removes them.

So, schools are shutting (despite yesterday the PM having declared them safe), but that isn't the end of the story. The government MUST now ensure that all pupils have access to a laptop or similar, and decent broadband, to access online learning. Parents must be supported, too.

I can't believe I'm having to write this, but today, the UK Government is trying to OUTLAW the RIGHT to peaceful PROTEST. Here. In the UK. In 2021. This isn't just about the so-called big issues: eg climate change and war. It's about *any* protest: eg library closures.

Great to hear a Chelmsford resident talking on @LBC this morning about the importance of tactical voting to get rid of the Tories. As the Lib Dem candidate for Chelmsford I am obviously biased, but we have a great chance of winning this seat with tactical vote support.
