I've just hosted a call with over 100 local government leaders to discuss the front line response to coronavirus and listening to the challenges they’re facing. They need more PPE, they need more testing and they need sight of the Government’s exit strategy. https://t.co/aIKTo4RGlZ — PolitiTweet.org

Today we remember the 96 who lost their lives 31 years ago, as well as the bravery, dignity and resilience of the Hillsborough families in their fight for justice. You’ll never walk alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

I urge the government to publish their exit strategy. Millions of people are playing their part. In return, the government needs to be open and transparent with the public about how it believes the lockdown will ease and eventually end.

I was pleased to meet with business leaders from @CBItweets @MakeUK_ @The_IoD @FSB_policy & @britishchambers this morning. Very constructive discussions about defeating the coronavirus & ensuring a strong economic recovery. I look forward to working together with them on this. — PolitiTweet.org

I would like to wish Tamil and Sinhala communities a very happy new year. I also want to extend my thanks to all of you who are on the front line in the fight against coronavirus, whether in the NHS or a key worker, you are serving our country and are the very best of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Care homes are on the front line of this crisis. The Government should include those who sadly die in care homes in their daily reporting numbers and ensure that all care staff have the protective equipment they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

The faces of those who gave their lives to keep us safe. The Government must provide our frontline staff with the equipment they desperately need. https://t.co/v7h8DlvJFZ — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Vaisakhi to all those celebrating. I’ve seen first-hand the vital work that gurdwaras and other Sikh organisations across the country are doing in their communities at this difficult time. Thank you. https://t.co/7oXAjcXhYa — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

There are countless other organisations doing incredible work in difficult circumstances. The government funding announced for charities this week is a welcome first step but more is needed to ensure they don’t have to close their doors at this vital time. Follow @ncvo for info. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

If you’re able to donate, there are many charities that need our support, such as @CPAGUK. Local initiatives like @camdengiving (who’ve raised over £163k for local projects) really do make a huge difference. To all CVS organisations and communities, thank you! — PolitiTweet.org

.@HealingJusticeLDN has created mental and physical health support for marginalised communities. https://t.co/s0Bns22Eyk — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

During the lockdown, it’s so important to keep mentally and physically healthy. To combat loneliness @TheCaresFamily has released an #AloneTogether activity pack created by young people to help older neighbours stay connected. https://t.co/qptfZfIbwx — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

.@actnforchildren are supporting some of the most vulnerable during this crisis, and have developed advice and guidance for families including 1-1 support from experienced parenting coaches. https://t.co/D6jsTdAGG0 — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

No one should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. @FareshareUK has had over 500 new charities asking for food on top of the 11,000 they already support. Find out more here: https://t.co/SX9rNa7mYv — PolitiTweet.org

.@BritishRedCross are doing vital work to help ensure people in the asylum system are housed safely & have access to healthcare. @Locality are also providing advice & support for community organisations so they can keep services running through the crisis. https://t.co/Gc2ICyip70 — PolitiTweet.org

With domestic abuse cases increasing during lockdown, @safelives_ have produced an online guide about staying safe during the isolation period. https://t.co/VrHJ6xYSGa — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Social care workers and all those who provide care play a central life-saving role for so many every day. @SharedLivesPlus carers are at the frontline of this essential work, and @CarersUK are giving invaluable advice to carers, including the millions providing unpaid care. — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

At this difficult time charities across the UK have gone above and beyond to assist, support and offer comfort to communities during #Covid19. I’d like to thank them for their efforts and share some examples of those I have spoken to recently. [Thread] — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Heartbreaking that we have now had more than 10,000 coronavirus deaths in the UK. We must remember the people behind the numbers. Every one is a tragedy, every one is a family shattered. #StayHomeSaveLives https://t.co/PMdyktgbZU — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

I understand that the Government’s trying to rise to the challenge, but we’ve seen a real issue about protective equipment with the Government saying one thing and the frontline saying another. There must be proper, Parliamentary scrutiny of the decisions being made. #Ridge https://t.co/meUAyP7KEC — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

Happy Easter to all celebrating. It will be very different this year with churches closed, families separated and people anxious about the future. We will get through this, and when we do so, we must do it with a vision of a changed and a better society. https://t.co/A5QJJAvRmC — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

At this time of national emergency, we need a functioning Parliament to hold ministers to account on their response to the coronavirus. There are too many questions that have gone unanswered. There is no substitute for scrutiny. https://t.co/syJQwbcro5 — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

It is quite frankly insulting to imply frontline staff are wasting PPE. There are horrific stories of NHS staff and care workers not having the equipment they need to keep them safe. The Government must act to ensure supplies are delivered. https://t.co/kQWbiO0zoh — PolitiTweet.org

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

The Government is right to urge everyone to stay at home, but if they are to keep the public’s trust we need to see more transparency. That’s why I have urged the Government to publish its exit strategy so people know how this lockdown will end. https://t.co/Hqruyi4BvD — PolitiTweet.org

When we get through this – and we will get through this – it will be because of our NHS staff, our care workers, our ambulance drivers, our emergency services, our cleaners, our porters. They are the best of us. https://t.co/PtDF56quSx — PolitiTweet.org
