Boris Johnson’s govt wasted £10bn of public PPE during the coronavirus pandemic, official inquiry concludes.

Covid-19 inquiry chair, Heather Hallett, also criticised then Conservative govt's controversial “VIP lane” which gave high priority for PPE contracts to firms with political links to the Tories.

25 years ago today John Prescott took Tony Blair's instruction to go out and connect with the voters a bit too literally.

As I said on @bbcquestiontime - Farage’s £5m bung from some crypto tycoon in Thailand absolutely stinks. And Yusuf’s evasion here makes it stink even more. If Starmer or Badenoch had been caught doing this without declaring it, Farage & Yusuf would demand they resign.

I agree with @matthewsyed in sense that the circular firing squad of digital age political media is now making the job of PM, whoever has it, almost impossible. Leaders in business do not face the same, it is hell we reserve for our political class. Something fundamental has changed here, which we need to address and discuss.

A wall of crypto money is powering Nigel Farage, both politically and personally. And much of the British media just shrugs https://t.co/SlxBYqnfj5

This is a shocker! Dwr Cymru claim this sewage discharge into the river, here in Llanrwst near Gwydir, was 'storm overflow' except there was no 'storm' on the 1st May, only light rain. They also claim there was no impact on river health. Unbelievable! Get a grip @DwrCymru

"Sickening sight and smell as human sewage pours into Carmarthenshire river."

So it's all been going on in Wales this weekend. Welsh Water really are a joke.

Leaving the ECHR will not allow you to deport all Asylum Seekers, you can't deport a person without the other country accepting them.

But it will allow the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Paid Holiday, Max Working Hours, Maternity Leave and much more to be cancelled.

Another day another news blackout from most of our media on the story of a Farage ally in European Parliament and leader of his party in Wales taking bribes from Russia to spout their lies and BS … Nathan Gill should be a household name by now. But the media that gave you phone hacking and helped give you Brexit are making sure he remains under the radar in case it demands their new pal Nigel …

[ITV Wales News @ITVWales]

BREAKING: The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to eight bribery charges while an elected member of the European Parliament.

The charges relate to making favourable statements about Russia in exchange for money during his time as a member of the European Parliament.

The pandemic's impact on travel has finally ended: the last Cathay Pacific plane has left storage in the Red Centre of Australia at Alice Springs.
A good moment to reflect on the series of calamitous travel restrictions that caused so much harm for no gain
