"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris Johnson no longer mentions them at all." My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away. Sincere thanks @ObserverUK for commissioning.

This is outrageous from @Keir_Starmer. ‘Russian links to Reform need investigating’, he says. So why is his government still fighting case now in Grand Chamber of Strasbourg court refusing to have such an investigation into Russian interference ?? news.sky.com/story/starmer-d…

3/ NO ONE we gave it to outside court had heard of Gill... of course, with the constant media noise, it's hard for stories to cut through. But it's made harder when only TWO papers mention the conviction/story on their front page & only one - 👋Mirror - prints Gill's picture🙄

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian interference is now up to 13k, and growing fast. It's still early days, but it's notable that the percentage of people signing is highest in Wales. This suggests that media coverage of Nathan Gill was considerably more extensive in Wales than elsewhere, which is disturbing because it suggests coverage of Gill's treason was insufficient outside Wales, given that it was a matter of UK national importance. Please share the petition as widely as possible. petitionmap.unboxedconsultin…

This is from 2018 when I flew all the way to Australia to ask Nigel Farage the very simple questions no-one in the UK media was asking him. He accused me of being 'funded by Soros', one of the 'anti-semitic tropes' that 7 years later (!) people are now paying attention to 2/

"What 'funding by Soros' really means is: 'funded by Jews'. This has been in plain sight for the best part of a decade. During that time, all the journalists who had access to Farage - I'm looking at you @afneil @bbcquestiontime & many more - didn't ask even basic qs 3/

Stephen Kinnock explains the Dublin agreement where the UK could send asylum seekers back to the first country they stepped into the EU, when we were members of the EU With Brexit, when we left the EU, we were no longer able to do that Fiona Bruce interjects and says we didn't use the Dublin agreement to do that very often, and she's right Because the Dublin agreement served as a deterrent As soon as we left the EU, the deterrent was gone, and we were longer able to use it That's also why Farage's Brexit Boats Of Asylum Seekers shot up after Brexit because they knew the UK was outside of the EU, and couldn't apply the Dublin agreement to return people

Reform is tipped to win next week in Caerphilly, a bellwether election because Reform is coming for Wales first, then the UK. Yet close to zero scrutiny of the candidate, Llyr Powell’s relationship with his former boss & friend, Nathan Gill. Why? Please read on & share 1/

We need a stronger, healthier INDEPENDENT news ecosystem. Shout out to @CaerphillyObsvr for that story. @NationCymru who first reported on Gill & Russia & pals at @BylineTimes for staying on Gill’s case And please follow & support @thenerve_news 🙏🙏🙏 thenerve.news/

Here’s the scam.. you work 12 hour days, addicted to your phone, living pay check to pay check, eating toxic food, disconnected from nature & being exposed to toxic ideology that is provoking stress Then you feel like shit & they label you w/ a psych disorder & give you a pill

Perhaps people who are celebrating the cuts to Aid in the USA and Uk - and think that “it was all corruption and woke nonsense” would like to read this thread on the real world impacts of cuts to development for hundreds of millions 👇
