"Any movement that says ‘Things are so bad that this whole thing needs to be pulled down’ should be encouraged to realise...the cost of what they are abandoning...They must be responded to by people of every skin colour and background with a polite but firm ‘No’." — PolitiTweet.org

The coronavirus pandemic has increased the number of unpaid carers by 4.5 million people. #CarersWeek2020 is a fantastic initiative to recognise the work of carers whose sacrifices and dedication too often go unnoticed. @CarersUK @age_uk @CarersTrust @mndassoc @oxfamgb @Rethink_ — PolitiTweet.org

Good advice from Sir Lockwood Smith, highlighting why the UK must take a proactive role on the OIE and the Codex Alimentarius Commission. “For the UK to become a leader in global trade developments, it must respect the work of these two bodies.” https://t.co/42xeonPhlp — PolitiTweet.org

Great piece @TobyBaxendale on benefits to UK fishing of a 🇬🇧 🇯🇵 FTA. “With the prospect of 0 tariffs into the largest fish consumers in the world, our industry may well start to see some of that prosperity denied to us since our incorporation into the EU”https://t.co/y6iMA2E9pG — PolitiTweet.org

Spot on from @MPIainDS on the need to reduce the two-metre rule to match @WHO guidance to get schools, pubs, restaurants and shops open. “The risk of children under the age of 15 falling ill from Covid-19 is less than being struck by lightning.” https://t.co/f3ZBmp3AE8 — PolitiTweet.org

Considered comments by Prof Robert Dingwall on the need to consider the dire economic consequences of the two-metre rule, especially given that “you’re moving from a tiny risk at two metres to a very small risk at one metre.“ https://t.co/Eprau5TApI — PolitiTweet.org

Great piece on the potential of gene editing by @mattwridley. “We may see a gold rush of plant breeding projects to this country, generating employment while making crops more competitive, wildlife-friendly, nutrient-rich and with fewer emissions.“ https://t.co/p170msQEGA — PolitiTweet.org

Shocking account of the treatment of Uighurs in China. “Beijing’s repression is gradually shattering the obscene lie, pervasive for two decades in the West, that CPC-run China was destined for political liberalisation“ https://t.co/G43YHHcIvs — PolitiTweet.org

Really well put by @WilliamJHague. “Freedom should be treasured and used to the full. But it requires more than a simplistic rejection of figures from an earlier age, and instead an appreciation of the wisdom of those who did effect positive change.” https://t.co/EAftKpHppn — PolitiTweet.org

Important reminder from @LanceForman. “Family businesses...represent 90% of all businesses in the UK and collectively employ half the workforce. Their turnover represents 35% of the private sector and they contribute over 20% of total government revenues“ https://t.co/bZQ8wrNVvd — PolitiTweet.org

Good points from @MPIainDS and @IoWBobSeely on how the UK must reduce its dependence on China. “We must begin by not increasing our dependency and that means not shackling ourselves to an untrusted, Chinese-state run telecommunications firm.“ https://t.co/rKupIal5gE — PolitiTweet.org

Useful analysis from @julianHjessop. “Extending the transition period is only likely to increase the UK’s exposure to the mounting fiscal and financial problems in the EU, even if additional budget contributions can be capped.” https://t.co/ygoVFOlk9Z — PolitiTweet.org
