Clock’s ticking MPs⏰

This debate has been going for 30 mins so far + no one has discussed NHS privatisation (apart from @sajidjavid, who denies its existence)

We’re watching the House of Commons closely and will tell our 300,000 strong network who says what👍

“Can I just say no honourable member would actually mislead or lie to the House” says @CommonsSpeaker

Meanwhile millions continue to watch the Prime Minister mislead & lie to the House every week

When will the Speaker catch up?

Inflation 2.4%
Tory NHS "pay rise" 1%
For the pain, Tory enabled death & struggle the NHS staff have suffered for 18 months Boris Johnson & his Tories want the NHS to take a pay cut!
Enough is enough. A 15% pay rise or all out!
Solidarity with NHS workers ✊

Tories can't be trusted with our #NHS. The #NHSBill

- entrenches privatisation
- allows corporate take-overs of GP services
- gives private healthcare groups a say on how £££ is spent
- fails to address under-funding & low pay or fix social care

I’ll vote against #ScrapNHSBill

The Tory NHS Bill

• Gives Sajid Javid 150 new powers over NHS
• Invites private health to run new governing boards
• Ends real local accountability
• Allows larger chunks of NHS to be privatised by skipping normal tendering
• Guarantees more closures
• Is supported by USA

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Boris Johnson (again) told Parliament today that the speed of the vaccine roll out was because we have left the EU. Even Larry the cat now knows that’s not true. I covered it when he said it back in February

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

When I confronted Tory minister Victoria Atkins with Boris Johnson's racism – calling black people "piccaninnies" & Muslim women "letterboxes" – she said it's "extraordinary" to accuse him of racism.

Some news for Vicky: He's racist.

The only extraordinary thing is denying it.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel gave a green light to the racism our England stars are facing. They stoked this abuse.

Now they're feigning outrage. None of us are fooled.

My son’s school had to send *100* kids home today alone! They have told us they can’t cope with the rising infection rates so have now CLOSED.

We’re at a 3 month peak of deaths too.
We can’t be in any doubt that ‘Freedom Day’ is actually ‘Herd Immunity Day’.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Wow.

42,302 new Covid cases today - the highest number since 15th Jan.

Yet only 52% of the population is fully vaccinated.

Which makes the government’s stance staggeringly weak and irresponsible.

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

Sajid Javid has just said in Parliament that this Health and Care Bill is not “the limit on our plans for healthcare in this country”.

Well that’s terrifying 🚨

[Briefcase Michael @BriefcaseMike]

You have to hand it to Ian Blackford. He doesn't pull his punches, confronting Johnson with his past racist ramblings about "grinning piccaninnies". One of the cut-aways showed Johnson himself grinning during that exchange. Totally shameless. #PMQs #PoliticsLive

[Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 @Haggis_UK]

Ian Blackford - Can the PM tell us what sanctions he thinks would be appropriate for someone who publishes racist content.. like describing Africans as flag waving piccaninnies with watermelon smiles?

Boris Johnson - You can take things out of context...

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

Johnson referencing the racism Priti Patel has faced in her career, when asked about how her comments stoked racism against England players, demonstrates just how cynical he is. Patel's experience should not be used to effectively defend the stoking of racism against others.

[Tom Newton Dunn @tnewtondunn]

“Nobody defends booing of the England side,” Johnson tells Starmer. This is factually untrue. A government minister has, as well as several Tory MPs, and Downing Street refused to condemn it for three days just before Euro 2020 started.
