What does this mean?

This is wrong, @BorisJohnson.

So glad this young man & his family are getting this support. This has gone on for far far far too long - and was totally unnecessary https://twitter.com/rightfullives/status/1352681648685514752

Completely incomprehensible. How have we ended up with a political system that puts people in change of us who cannot even string words together in a sentence that means something?
This was the Home Secretary's answer as to why the UK has the worst daily death rate in the world.
#COVID19 has forced charities to make heart-breaking decisions to cut research funding. You can help today by signing this letter to the Prime Minister to ask Government to provide financial support for charity-funded #ResearchAtRisk.
