Before Johnson gives his evidence we should consider a few things:
1. Just how bad was the UK pandemic response?
2. How much could Johnson have affected this?
3. What was Johnson’s intent?
4. Was there any overt maleficence?
Thread 1/n (buckle-up!)
Haven't people woken up to the fact that #RishiSunak is not just one of the most right-wing PMs the UK has ever had, but one of the most corrupt? He may be slicker and smoother than Boris Johnson but just as self-serving and egotistical https://t.co/zduyW0NrvY
Having to deal with multiple irritating issues today because of Brexit when I could be doing useful stuff. I suspect that's the case for a lot of people and businesses. Waste of time and money. Blue passports my arse.
Gov’t says @BMA_JuniorDocs have walked away from settlement talks. The junior docs say it’s the Government that’s refusing to negotiate
Who do we believe - Junior docs who sacrificed so much to keep us safe or a Government that lies about everything?🤔 https://t.co/WUkWoO23Il
Hiking outside the UK can be one of the most powerful ways of understanding how naturally impoverished the British landscape is, particularly the high places and uplands.
A thread following a trip to the Alps which vividly reminded me of what we're missing. 🧵
Rishi Sunk has said that this year's public sector pay awards have been agreed in full but with no new or additional funding to cover them. There is literally no economic sense in this whatsoever. A short thread...
Scotland 's publicly owned water system v England's privatised:
Scotland invested 35% more per household in the system since 2002, compared to England; charges 14% less for water.
England - paid £72bn in dividends to shareholders.
Notice the difference.

This is Lord Rothermere the Daily Mail Owner.
He lives in a mansion in Monaco, he pays tax in France and identifies as French.
The Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and it pays no tax anywhere.
That is his ‘Patriotism’.
If you follow me, I followback.
GREED IS GOOD
TORIES crack down on nuisance begging.
BUT do nothing about BARONESS MICHELLE MONE who ripped the NHS off for £76m.
RETWEET to remind Michelle Mone to repay OUR money.
Dear 🇬🇧,
Here's your weekly reminder that 10 years ago, the NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system in the world. We don't need a new system, we need a new govt that doesn't catastrophically underfund the NHS and pays staff properly!

Johnson needs to be held to account by the political system he corrupted.
His lingering lesson - lie and even if exposed you will still be rewarded - needs to be unlearned.
Politicians need to know that integrity and accountability are not optional in a functioning democracy.
BREAKING: Conservative MPs just voted for a tax break for the top 1%.
Instead of standing with their constituents in the midst of a cost of living crisis, this is how they chose to spend £1 billion.
Labour will always stand with working people.
In case you aren't aware of the rules, they are:
Gary Lineker tweet criticising government's refugee policy = BAD
BBC Chairman donating £400,000 to Tory Party = ABSOLUTELY FINE
The BBC is apparently going to ‘speak to’ @GaryLineker about this tweet, which is ironic as it’s more accurate than most of the corporation’s actual news coverage.
If you’re cross about being compared to Nazis, then calling for your critics to be silenced & sacked probably isn’t the best way to prove them wrong.
We think NHS staff should have:
* Access to healthy food
* Whenever they are on a shift
* That is subsidised as much as the meals MPs get
Please RT if you do too
You couldn’t make this up.
Next they’ll be calling for us to join the #EU#BrexitIsBadForBritain
‘What Britain can learn from Europe about cleaner water’
