I just got told that I was an irresponsible idiot for going to a beach this weekend as it wasn't possible to socially distance. Southerners, I'd like to introduce you to a northern beach. I didn't have a problem socially distancing to be honest.

@SkyNews It's a sad story.... but she is wrong. There absolutely is a pattern.... if you are clinically obese you are in far, far more danger from covid. Let's stop tip toeing around the subject and say it how it is. We are all terrified to highlight obesity as a massive issue.

In my region levelling up has so far delivered: - A new Nissan gigafactory near Sunderland, creating thousands of new jobs - A volt gigafactory in Blyth, thousands of new jobs - A new Treasury campus in Darlington - Teeside freeport, 18k jobs, £3.2Bn for local economy
