Right: Andrew Marr, "We have regressed 150 years to a Dickensian era of diseases as new NHS data show malnutrition, rickets and scurvy, soaring under Rishi Sunak's premiership"

The U.K spent £158b on the health part of Covid - PPE, tests, Test & trace, etc…

France spent £30b

Germany £60b

We had more deaths and our health system is still in a far worse state

This was the biggest heist in U.K. history…

The perpetrators must be caught and prosecuted

How much longer indeed.

Something is very rotten in the State of Great Britain and NI.

The whole idea of company registration is that you can see who owns a company and who you are dealing with. He did not, a Company Secretary was registered.
Members of both Houses are supposed to register their financial interests. She did not.
Both hid their involvement and denied it and threatened those seeking to uncover it.
They state they were not trying to pull the wool? Clearly they were.
Once the obscene profits were gained they were quickly syphoned to trusts, to be inaccessible. They should be recovered.

Yep all it as it is.

Al Gore says the UK used to be an exemplary world leader…

…but current UK govt looks like it has been captured by fossil fuel lobby.

Jess Phillips, one of the most effective campaigners in Keir Starmer’s team - in a middle ranking role, doing important work protecting women against violence - has defied him by voting for a ceasefire in Gaza. Presumably he will now feel obliged to sack her. She has been such a powerful voice that this would be a serious loss to him

Martin Geissler, "Rishi Sunak is taking a unanimous ruling from the most senior court in this country and ignoring it, that's a worry, isn't it?"

Douglas Ross, "No, that's not the case. It is a worry that a BBC journalist is trying to portray it that way.. The Prime Minister respects the ruling of the Supreme Court"

Martin Geissler, "But he doesn't. If Rishi Sunak is trying to find a work around.. If he's trying to find a way around the law and the rulings, he's not respecting the judgment, is he?"

Rachel Reeves: "The cost to the taxpayer of Covid fraud is estimated at £7.2bn. Every cheque signed by Rishi Sunak...We'll appoint a Covid corruption commissioner, a hit squad of investigators...to take the fraudsters to court...We want that money back."

🚨How many times do I have to point this out! The European Convention on Human Rights protects our right to a fair trial, freedom of assembly & expression, the right to participate in free elections, freedom of religion, freedom from discrimination, the right to privacy, freedom from torture & degrading treatment & for all those saying we can just leave & create our own bill of rights remember that according to international Human Rights Watch the UK could soon make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights thanks to this governments outright onslaught on the rights of its own citizens!

During the past twelve months we’ve had an anti strike law - designed to rob millions of workers of their democratic right to strike, an Elections Act has locked millions of people out of the electoral process - a blatant act of voter suppression by the Government & new laws will strip back our right to protest and limit our rights to judicial review!

The simple fact is this government cannot be trusted to protect our human rights. We cannot trust a Government with our human rights when it’s already trying to curtail our human rights under the existing convention we are already apart of!

There will be more spin than ever of the coming months.

But we must never forget who broke our NHS.

Please RT if you agree.

@PaulTempleman6 Nope, I would rather the Home Secretary quit.

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments

I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM – I contend that he does not have the legal right

The ball is in your court , Prime Minister

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

You aren't telling me that Rishi lied. That a man who yesterday read of a autocue how he was surprised his wife spoke at conference unannounced, can bare face lie. I cannot believe it, he such an honest guy.

[Astro-Tony OTG @Greenman_Astro]

@PeterStefanovi2 We were the authors of much of this legislation, back when we had morals and a sense of proportion. Beware of the right wing swing going on. Eventually they will remove as many of our rights as possible.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

The real class war in this country is the one waged by Sunak and his ilk to make sure that the privileged keep the privilege, the wealthy keep getting wealthier and the powerful get ever more powerful (and in the case of this lot more corrupt). And how can he even begin to 1/2
