.@BorisJohnson declined the opportunity to deny that he has spent £200k on refurbishing his Downing St flat and that any of the bills were settled by the Tory party or private donors. He said official disclosures would be made in due course. Make of that what you will.
The Conservatives wasted £2.3bn on outsourced contracts that didn’t deliver.
That’s equal to the salary costs of:
👨🏻🏫 41000 teachers
👮🏾 55000 police officers
👩🏻🚒 56000 firefighters
👨🏽⚕️ 64000 nurses
🛌 66000 social workers
There’s nothing fiscally responsible about this government
1820 people died today.
And those deaths are a completely predictable outcome of a disastrous strategy: a path that was deliberately chosen by politicians who have repeatedly chosen to ignore sound scientific advice.
It is desperately sad.
And we should all be angry.
Tory after tory standing in the commons saying that all the kids in their areas have laptops provided means 1 of 3 things, 1)they have had preferential treatment over schools in our areas, 2)they haven't actually checked with them 3)they are lying.
I don’t care about Johnson cycling 7 miles from home, I do care that his Govt handed another multi-million pound contract to a donor to provide #FreeSchoolMeals which are neither free nor a meal
This idea that learning can only happen in school is so irritating. Spielman looks increasingly out of touch. I really do suspect Ofsted are having an existential crisis tbh.

Are we waiting for the rest of the country to rocket to London levels and then go-online? What is this? Infect all the kids then be reactive? We need to be proactive NOW! ALL education should be online come Monday!
Thankyou @BBCr4today
They have just "fact-checked" Gove's interview yesterday and confirm Brits will NOT have free health coverage in the EU from January and young Brits will NOT be able to take part in Erasmus
All because of Brexit, alas, alas
In other words, Gove lied
UNREAL
George Eustice just admitted on #Marr:
- Food prices will rise
- There will be shortages
- The promise to farmers might not be kept
- Nor the promise to fishermen
- Pet passports will no longer be sufficient
- Nor will driving licenses
- No answer on healthcare
@seftoncouncil@lornala The signs are particularly important as the visibility at the junction is so poor . It is doubtful that the junction meets minimum standards . The junction is very busy - over 400 cars a day
This statement is bone-chilling.
The government “is not responsible for the supply of food and drink to the population in an emergency”.
What the hell is government for, if not for this?

Tory Chief Whip Mark Spencer, a real gent. An autistic benefit claimant was left without electricity and food because he was 4 minutes late for an appointment. Spencer said he needed to learn the “discipline of timekeeping”
