I cannot tell you how many racist, vile, hateful messages I’ve received over the past few weeks whilst covering the #COVID19 crisis. On a daily basis, I’ve been sent some vile comments.
But I have to say, so many people have thanked me & appreciated the coverage.
WATCH: Scenes in Liverpool city centre as people take to the streets just hours before the city region goes into Tier 3 lockdown restrictions.
I wonder how @MetroMayorSteve and @mayor_anderson feel about this.
@SkyNews
I hope this thread can help even one BAME person to ignore the myths, the lies, the idiotic commentary about the vaccines and take it. Because you don’t want this virus, trust me.

I’d like to hear one of the other broadcasters ask the Health Secretary why he and his other senior colleagues are avoiding @piersmorgan and @susannareid100 on @GMB....I find it odd how you can just pick and choose who interviews you.
Good morning, Health Secretary @MattHancock - it’s not too late for you to inform @GMB viewers of the latest vital information re this health crisis. Your petty boycott of this show is risking lives at a time of national emergency.
BREAKING: Leader of Burnley council & 11 other councillors have tonight resigned from the Labour party following Keir Starmer's continued position not to back a ceasefire in Gaza, @SkyNews understands.
