When I dropped off my bag, I was surprised there were no additional checks (e.g. scan the label I had just printed/attached to my bag) to send the luggage onto the conveyor belt… I only had to press a green button. Not surprised there are errand bags floating about 2/2

Our work is the first known to support Mass Vaccination Centre planning, at an early stage of #COVID19.

Before Johnson gives his evidence we should consider a few things:
1. Just how bad was the UK pandemic response?
2. How much could Johnson have affected this?
3. What was Johnson’s intent?
