This "top tweet" summary of tweets posted during June 2021 uses data extracted using TAGS, graphed using NodeXL, and then reimported into TAGS to update the number of retweets received by 24/7/2021. There were 8,939 tweets retrieved from 4,135 tweeters with 9,996 retweets received. Overall 172 (4.2%) tweeters received 80% of all retweets, while 2,915 (70.5%) received no retweets. Read last month's summary here. 
Once again I was keen to obtain a spread of tweets across a range of opinions, without the summary being dominated by a small number of prominent tweeters. I therefore identified the top three tweets per tweeter, then used these tweets to select the three most popular tweets by number of retweets received each day. I removed one duplicate post that was posted by the same tweeter twice on a single day, selecting the next most popular tweet from that day (5/7/2021). The 25 most popular tweeters are listed in the table. 
In common with previous summaries there is a range of opinion posted here, with various different purposes, including public health focused messages (awareness raising, health promotion, information sharing), political points, and bandwagon jumping, spam and mischief making. I have listed all the tweets identified using the search criteria described above. A PDF version is available as a permanent record as some users may delete their accounts or posts at a later point. Full data since just before the start of the first UK lockdown available in a blog. Next month's summary is here.
