Oopsie... I think the Tories did another corruption - £150k of leveling up cash given to an amusement centre - Which was co-founded by top Tory donor, Lubov Chernukhin - Who is married to Putin's ex-deputy finance minister Do you feel leveled up? theguardian.com/politics/202…

BREAKING Fraud report Special mentions to PPE MEDPRO - Michelle Mone under criminal investigation Randox £777m - failures in record keeping, gaps in conflict-of-interest declarations, lack of scrutiny and sign off VIP recommended by ministers - received £6 BILLION of £7.9 BILLION of testing contracts.... Be angry? I'm livid.... Quote from report "Between March 2020 to December 2021, Government awarded 22 contracts to Randox (or its strategic partner Qnostics Ltd) for its testing services, worth a maximum total value of £776.9 million. The Committee’s inquiry into these contracts found numerous issues with the first contract – failures in basic record-keeping; gaps in conflict-of-interest declarations; and wider procurement issues, such as a lack of senior scrutiny and sign-off. The DHSC also marked supplier offers as ‘VIP’ if they had been referred from ministers, MPs, or Number 10. These priority suppliers received £6 billion of the £7.9 billion of testing contracts awarded between May 2020 to March 2021.27 .The PAC has been asked by Parliament to examine the papers relating to government contracts for the supply of PPE by PPE Medpro which secured two contracts worth a combined value of over £200 million and is now the subject of an investigation by the National Crime Agency into potential fraud." bylinetimes.com/2023/06/06/g…

This govt is scared of water companies dumping sewage exposing that due to Brexit they can’t get hold of chemicals needed to treat raw sewage… So the govt turn a blind eye while the sewage dumps into our waters increase by (and this is incredible) 2,900% in 5 years.

Boris Johnson - “We will make Britain a science superpower”. Priti Patel - “This is exactly what our new points-based immigration system was designed for — attracting the best and brightest based on the skills and talent they have, not where they’ve come from.”

Artifical grass should be banned as how can that be fairly judged against real grass. Plus should not be endorsing this plastic grass rubbish.

#Eurovision2021 Hadn’t heard UK entry before. Really liked it. Well done. 🤞
❗️Yesterday’s #QueensSpeech failed to include the Govt's promise to make access to benefits fairer for people with #MND & other terminal illnesses 📺Watch @JessicaMordenMP convey her disappointment at the Govt's failure to #Scrap6Months almost two years on 👇🏽

We’ve got to mark this moment. Because its hard to process & it’s happening so quickly but this isn’t normal. None of this is normal. Denying reality, reframing evidence, using state machinery to spread jingoistic lies. If you’re not deeply worried, you’re not paying attention
Let’s make the EU take their threats off the table. And let’s get this Bill through, back up our negotiators, and protect our country 🇬🇧 gov.uk/government/speeches/p…

“Why are mothers and babies being left to go hungry in this city, and why is it being left to charities and volunteers to pick up the pieces? The fact is there is no safety net if you are a refugee or migrant.” this makes my heart ache 😢 theguardian.com/uk-news/2020…

So. The grades of 4.6 million GCSEs – 97% of the total – are about to be assigned *solely* by another Ofqual algorithm. Teacher-assessed grades submitted by schools will *not* be considered. EVEN AFTER THE A LEVEL DEBACLE. This stinks, @BorisJohnson. theguardian.com/education/20…

Having to turn families away from A&E from dying relatives at the start of the outbreak was the most soul destroying thing I have ever had to do. I cannot believe what we are now hearing

It wasn’t simply that Cummings was in lockdown, he was in quarantine after displaying symptoms. If he doesn’t go voluntarily, the Prime Minister must sack him.

Boris Johnson must now show Domninic Cummings the door - otherwise people will conclude the Tories were so keen to leave lockdown because they weren't following the rules in the first place.

Cummings broke the lockdown rules. So did UK government scientific adviser, Neil Ferguson. So did the Scottish Chief Medical Adviser. They both resigned. Why hasn’t Cummings resigned? One rule for Johnson’s mates, another rule for everyone else.

This is stunning. Dominic Cummings travelled across the country to Durham to stay in another home *while symptomatic* with coronavirus. His wife claimed in the Spectator they had been in London. Prof Ferguson and Scottish CMO resigned for much less. theguardian.com/politics/202…
