Andrew O'Connor KC: You said we have a weak, indecisive PM... do you standby that?
Sir Patrick Vallance; "I do think that Boris Johnson was influenced a lot by the press."
#CovidInquiry
Diary entries from Boris Johnson's Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance reveals his frustration at the PM's inability to grasp basic scientific concepts.
Facts had to be repeatedly explained to him and he'd then forget them again within hours and need them explaining again.
Today @WHO led a very high risk @UN assessment mission to Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza.
The team saw a hospital no longer able to function: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, medical supplies depleted.
Given this deplorable situation and the condition of many patients, including babies, health workers requested support to evacuate patients who cannot receive lifesaving care there anymore.
We are working with partners to develop an urgent evacuation plan and ask for full facilitation of this plan.
We continue to call for protection of health and of civilians. The current situation is unbearable and unjustifiable.
Ceasefire. NOW.
Today marks 20 years since the repeal of Section 28. Moving the clause to repeal Section 28 remains one of my proudest moments in politics.
We still have a way to go to end the discrimination faced by the LGBT+ community and Liberal Democrats will keep fighting.
The @LibDemLords will vote to stop any kneejerk @Conservative laws that tries to usurp Supreme Court rejection oftheir unworkable #Rwanda policy. As we see @RishiSunak doubling down on failure we will not let them succeed. @LibDems
The deputy chairman of Britain's governing Conservative Party @LeeAndersonMP_ has called for the government to "ignore the law" and deport asylum seekers the same day they arrive.
It was clear from the outset that the #Rwanda policy was illegal.
Yet more tax payers money wasted by this failing Conservative government, rather than working across borders and seeking more compassionate solutions.
Brexit costing the country upwards of £100bn per year…
The failure of Greensill Capital cost UK taxpayers up to £5bn
We have Cameron to thank for both of these
I look forward to seeing how much he costs us in this role…
“They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
The Polish community in Trowbridge is pressing for a response to its offer to donate a Spitfire Memorial to commemorate the town’s contribution to building the famous fighter planes that helped win the Battle of Britain.

'We've had enough.'
Today marks one month since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel.
Two MPs, one with parents who grew up in Israel & one with parents who grew up in Palestine, have penned a joint article where they call for a much better understanding of the complexities of the conflict in the region.
Some thoughts on King’s speech:
1. First since the Queen’s passing. Era-defining.
2. Written by out-of-touch Gov. This is about the election - have little hope of anything that will make a real difference.
3. My top priorities: NHS/mental health, Cost of Living, Homelessness
My old friend @SuellaBraverman has described rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice' I always thought lifestyle choices were things such as cargo pants, fishing and decorating your bathroom with a bowl of potpourri.
I want to see if this image I found on google described as
'Wooden Botanical Fragrant Potpourri Bowl With Lemon' can raise £50,000 for homelessness charity @crisis_uk
