Goes to show again what a certain sort of person a Tory is. Cameron was going to make them more compassionate, then May was, erm, going to do the same. But the Nasty Party just can't help itself, can it? Not helped by the takeover at local levels by UKIP arrivists either

Alhamdulillah God is protector echoed by hesitations of vaccine,why recommend vaccine Mr sajid it is cowardice too.

Isn't he just gaslighting? Typical Tory behaviour.

greg_jenner The new death minister speaks 😡

Were the 160,000 people who died of COVID cowering? No they were fighting for their lives. What a pathetic excuse for a politician.

Didn’t take too long for Javid to turn into a complete pillock

Been to work every day in a mixed office used public transport not not been ill once.

From labour voters right ?

Despicable.

Javid is clearly suffering from 'long Brexit' it addles the brains of those afflicted, Dreadful

So hopefully Boris won't be a coward and he let us live our lives, no lockdowns, no tracing apps, no mandatory vaccines, no covid pass. Yes, people use ' covid' as an excuse.

Another one with not a clue!!

He’s right!

Where is the limit for us little islanders to stop this madness of government we have, to hold them to account, to made them sajidjavidresign because they are just damaging our health and laughing at us with this stupid statements. When ?

For such a statement to come from our Health Secretary is very sad indeed. Callousness at the heart of government.

Straight out of the Trump playbook. Almost word for word 🙄 Embarrassing

The tweet by sajidjavid is just another example of uncaring Conservatives. The fact that 140k+ UK citizens have died due to coronavirus on their watch due to their mishandling of the pandemic without any real sorrow from them is telling.

His real name is Sajid Covid!

But not really. This is your top story and it’s irresponsible and while possibly true to some degree, reporting on a response that’s ephemeral is a problem existentially for your newspaper

He's not wrong

Maybe now the Tories can now not cower from saying “No “ to buddies who want gov contracts . Tories not cower from telling the truth , not cower from taxing the rich, not cower by making law a living wage for everyone not cower from climate change

You English have lost your minds. Even my woke friends in the U.S. are living their lives again and cooling it with the political rhetoric.

Finally, a politician who sees that he's essentially created a nation full of bed wetters who need tucking in at night. If they want to hide away, let them, I just wish they wouldn't expect everyone else to.

Many cases are 'asympto', and most are mild (as we know) so I'm more annoyed about his assertion 'the vacx helped' when he can't possibly know. Persuasion stroke propaganda is one thing, naked bs - from a Minister - is not on.

But only amongst Guardian readers.

Don’t like the guy but a heck of a lot of misrepresenting what he is saying going on.

Got to say that Hancock with all his faults wasn't as useless as hapless Javid !

Rich won't cower with gated residence

Faux outrage.

Imagine losing a relative to covid and then be told don't cower away

He's right, all you have to do is stand with your legs too far apart and macho the virus away.

I'm too tired for this nhs NHS 🙄

This is my Health Secretary,,,,what did I ever do to deserve him., !? 😭😢🤮 Silly me, thought a Health Secretary was mainly concerned about the public health and wellbeing. Apparently that doesn't apply in Johnsons Toryland. Minister for finance and propaganda maybe

He's not wrong tho. People better start learning to live with COVID, because it's never going away.

He certainly embraced it .

Project Fear 🤦‍♀️

Son of a bus driver though..

Just about the level of empathy you'd expect from ex chancellor sajidjavid. He's really not interested in the wellbeing of the nation.

THE SHOULD ALLOW PROFESSIONALS DOCTOR'S TO ENTER INSIDE THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC AND CHECK OUT THE CAUSE OF THE RISING AND SPREADING OF THIS VIRUS,WHERE IS MR CLAIMERS JOE BIDEN AND HIS OBAMA'S,TIME HAS COME TO ACT AS PRESIDENT,BUT DUE TO BIDEN INCOMPETENT HE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING GOO

firejaved

If he had any integrity would fall on his sword

Ex Banker. Sounds a lot like...!

Neither amending or deleting the tweet while a number of conspiracy theorist spawned a whole load of hate towards scientists + medical professionals in the centre of London. That's what's so wrong with his tweet. Cower. We've been trying to stay alive.

poor man appears to have classic male pattern forgetfulness and thinks he is still the Chancellor, or the Minister for Commercial Property Portfolios, or what have you

Disrespectful. Unfit for office.

Well they’ll hardly reach their natural herd immunity plan if people aren’t going out getting themselves sick.

Sajid the Savage

Yes from people wilfully misinterpreting his words because the government has spent 18 months scaring folk there are people cowering from the virus and still scared.

yet another di**head. How is it that we have the consistently worst people in government? I mean, surely I could do a better job and I'm a cartographer. I also have a heart and a conscience so I guess that rules me out of the club.

UK's answer to Bolsonaro 🤦🏽‍♂️

horrible

Because it was a totally cuntish thing to say.
