🔴In Jan, we asked the DHSC to provide copies of emails between Innova and Michael Gove and Lord Bethell.
Innova landed billions of pounds worth of Covid testing contracts.
Finally, after a 10 month wait Government have been ordered to provide a response within 10 days.
🔴In March, we asked the DHSC to release the WhatsApp messages between Matt Hancock & his pub landlord friend Alex Bourne, awarded a £40million Test and Trace contract.
They stonewalled us for 8 months. Now the ICO has ordered Govt to provide a 'substantive response' in 10 days
Whatever is happening on Twitter right now seems to be affecting many accounts known for holding this cretinous Government to account. I for one intend to stay & stick it to them (the Government that is). If you’re still with me please RT & do check you haven’t “unfollowed”🙏
Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny https://t.co/nhiVnblHGg
Just bumped into Suella Braverman who said to me “traitors like you are why we are in this mess.”
She didn’t like it when I asked her to put that into an email.
This LBC caller voices opposition to Meghan and Harry holding hands while leaving a service for the late Queen.
James O'Brien wasn't having any of it...
@mrjamesob
Everything they are doing to the NHS they did to British Rail.
Underfunded it, exhausted the srvice, got the public angry and then said privatisation is the solution.
We cannot allow that to happen - RT if you agree
According to Chancellor Rishi Sunak all our problems began with the pandemic. I’m old enough to remember immediately prior to Covid we had just had a decade of wage stagnation, kids going hungry & soaring poverty under successive conservative governments
If you haven’t seen it yet:
The MP for Dover, Natalie Elphicke, tried to join the protest over the P&O sackings yesterday, but was swiftly called out by the crowd for having voted against Labour’s attempt to put a stop to fire & rehire practices.
This is deeply worrying. We urgently need guarantee that this does *not* signal reduction in Government commitment to offer greater support to those with #LongCovid - PM promised me at the Despatch Box this week that Govt would 'do whatever we can’ to help those suffering from it
I'm assuming that any TAs and other support staff who cover classes over the next few weeks will be paid accordingly, and that it will be properly funded by the government. Or are we relying on the old 'Blitz spirit' line again, @nadhimzahawi?
