Today marks the 72nd anniversary of our incredible NHS.
Where would we have been without it in recent months?#HappyBirthdayNHS https://t.co/Wh2hLt6jwH

I’m afraid I can’t clap today. I love the NHS but this is a cynical exercise when the government is lying and allowing people to die.

#ClapForTheNHS Deafened by the silence here not a single clap to be heard. Boris Johnson's tawdry attempt to bandwagon the 72nd anniversary of the NHS after his criminally negligent mishandling of CV-19 has backfired spectacularly. #BlameBoris pic.twitter.com/wTtktF9NGA

A clap isn't really that necessary. A simple X, in pencil in a box that does not say Conservative is all that is required.
Remember that next time.#ClapForTheNHS

A lot of people I know in the NHS now see the clapping as just another empty gesture Johnson has got behind: the reality is the government’s haggling over every extra penny for them. https://t.co/W0IZKAl9mi

The irony of having a national clap for the NHS less than 24 hours after scenes like this is not lost on us.
So as well as clapping today, please RT and remind your friends and family that this is nowhere near over and we still need your help.#ClapForTheNHS pic.twitter.com/EcMombeWry

No doubt most of this money will go on supporting big London institutions. As a former Londoner, I'm all for suppriting them but our local NI sector is in crisis. We need to know whether they can access this money, or whether there will be additional Barnett cash to Exec.. https://t.co/BFDLFY2uiJ

#LiarPM lied when he said, on video, there would be no documents needed for GB-NI trade. Details of system for checks on goods crossing Irish Sea are emerging & it's nothing like what was promised. https://t.co/M149ogBMAK

Many people who used to oppose Scottish independence have switched to the “yes” camp, turning a 55%-45% vote against leaving the UK in the 2014 referendum into a 54%-46% lead for the nationalists today https://t.co/Cqd5C9bkNX pic.twitter.com/o9RmMZ7vny

It took 3 months for Florida to reach 100,000 COVID-19 cases. It took less than 2 weeks to go from 100,000 to 200,000 cases.
The entire state is practically open except for Governor DeSantis’ office. He’s killing his citizens and doesn’t care.
This is why I’m suing him.
