"Well it was nice while it lasted. We had an unprecedented 10 months of low and stable Covid levels in England - but this is now over. We are seeing a definite, significant wave of Covid infections across England."

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.
After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

Great work by France, too!

"We must pool resources to ensure that everyone everywhere in the world can breathe clean air inside their home, school, workplace or ---"

France has already (2023) invested in improving air quality in schools and nurseries.

I fully support the UK, Canada and Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state.

It is not a 'reward' for Hamas. It is rightful attempt to preserve the only model that could achieve long-term peace amidst Israel's inexcusable colonisation of the West Bank and destruction of civilian life in Gaza.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

As SARS-CoV-2 infection rates rise, a reminder that we are not powerless to reduce the chance of getting sick or of making others sick:

How to be (and make others) sick less often
No one enjoys being sick, not even with a common cold -- let alone with a serious flu, stomach bug, or COVID. No one wants to make others sick either. Fortunately, we have tools to fight viruses.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

More support very much welcome.

We have, so far, 36k+ signatures to our letter from women saying ‘Not in our name’ - in response to the horrific demonisation of trans people under the guise of “protecting women”.

Help us get to 100k by signing and/or sharing… 🩷
