Powerful speech by @SDoughtyMP about the situation in Nigeria. The government needs to urgently speak with the Nigerian High Commissioner about what is happening. #EndSars — PolitiTweet.org

At the start of this pandemic, Boris Johnson was slow on lockdown, slow on PPE and slow on testing. He is making the same mistake again by refusing to introduce a circuit breaker. Infections rates are rising rapidly across the country. #PMQs — PolitiTweet.org

Gyms will be allowed to reopen in Merseyside and Halton following @MetroMayorSteve having further talks with Number 10 last night. Allowing people to keep fit and maintain good mental health is vital to getting our country though this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer

The whole point of a 3-tiered system was to have some consistency. The Government then proceeded to introduce different rules in different tier 3 areas. I am glad they have reversed their decision and will allow gyms to reopen. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson is treating the North with contempt. Credit to Andy Burnham for calling him out on it. This is no way to run a country at the best of times, let alone during a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

No, and I asked Boris Johnson about it last week. He said he would but is yet to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week I asked Boris Johnson to provide the evidence behind certain types of businesses, including gyms, were forced to close in Merseyside. He told me he would, but he has yet to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer

Fascinating to hear this from one of Boris Johnson's former advisers in Downing Street. This government just does not listen to advice from experts or local leaders. It's probably a big reason behind why we are in such a dire situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer

First Northern Ireland, now Wales. I hope Boris Johnson follows suit and listens to the scientific advice to bring in a circuit breaker. The longer he waits, the worse the situation could be. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to all involved in getting the state-of-the-art station built that will serve the town for years to come. Naming the road 'Violet Way' as a tribute to Violet-Grace is a wonderful touch. — PolitiTweet.org

I expect the Government to provide the evidence to explain why gyms in Merseyside have been forced to close, yet in Lancashire they have been allowed to remain open. — PolitiTweet.org

Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer

Absolutely shocking. The contact tracing rate has to be at least 80% for the system to work. Anything less than that is an abject failure. — PolitiTweet.org

This is my worry as well. In March, Boris Johnson acted too late and we paid a heavy price for it. A circuit breaker is essential now before it is too late. — PolitiTweet.org

This £40mill fund from @MetroMayorSteve will do what it can to help support hospitality businesses across Merseyside. But the Government still needs to provide further support to the businesses they've ordered to close. — PolitiTweet.org

Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer

Please take a minute to watch. Especially if you live in St Helens, Whiston & Prescot. — PolitiTweet.org

A circuit break is required because Boris Johnson's test and trace has failed to do its job. #PMQs — PolitiTweet.org

Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer

Keir is right to call on the government to follow the scientific advice. In an unprecedented situation such as the one we are in now, we should listen to those who have spent their lives researching and learning how to fight pandemics. — PolitiTweet.org
