Boris Johnson wanted authoritarian Covid rules, inquiry hears In his diaries, Lord Vallance wrote that ex-PM thought rules were not ruthless enough.

Man who used to set the rules, and then broke the rules, wanted tougher rules, because of people breaking the rules...

Then, he and his party chums pay £100, whilst public fines reached £10K...all as 1000s died, alone...because THEY followed the rules💔

Very wise advice. Our Spanish rescue dog (the black & white dog) can be very anxious of men and when we have visitors. We were lucky and had another dog who taught her the ropes (she had clearly never lived inside). She’s now the only dog and adapted to this change without any problems.

TLDR: we are in a very big flu wave, but Covid levels are low & RSV decreasing. But we should consider extending eligibilty for annual flu (and RSV, Covid) vaccines.

Unfortunately there’s never enough money for the SEND system. To get support/an education for their SEND kids, parents/carers have to navigate round a broken system. It’s exhausting for SEND families and even if you try your best, you feel you’ve failed them 😢
