1) Like #BorisJohnson, #NigelAdams is corrupt to the bone. He is a bankrolled shill for Drax, the UK's biggest carbon emitter, located in his former constituency. He has been integral to ensuring that £billions from our energy bills are pocketed by the climate villain🧵
2) GREENWASHING! Between 2012 and 2016, Drax donated more than £60,000 to Nigel Adams, whilst he lobbied the government to divert onshore wind subsidies towards corporations who burn trees for electricity (biomass). This emits more carbon per unit of energy that any fossil fuel. 
3) 🤑🤑The donations include £30,000 for luxury travel and hotels in the states to attend a series of conferences 🤔
As Boris Johnson's political career ends in disgrace and humiliation, it's worth returning to this 2019 piece by Sir Max Hastings in The Guardian

'I have argued for a decade that, while he is a brilliant entertainer who made a popular maître d’ for London as its mayor, he is unfit for national office, because it seems he cares for no interest save his own fame and gratification.'
'Dignity still matters in public office, and Johnson will never have it. Yet his graver vice is cowardice, reflected in a willingness to tell any audience, whatever he thinks most likely to please, heedless of the inevitability of its contradiction an hour later.'
🧵1/ The UK government is seeking a judicial review over an order to release PM Boris Johnson's WhatsApp messages, diaries, and notebooks to the COVID inquiry. This move raises important questions about transparency, accountability, and the use of government resources.
2/ While it's crucial to understand the decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic, it's also important to consider the impact of this ongoing saga on the functioning of the government and civil service.
3/ Mistakes were undoubtedly made during the handling of the pandemic. However, the focus should now be on learning from these mistakes and moving forward, rather than getting mired in a potentially lengthy and resource-intensive legal battle.
Hey @Guto_Harri…
I’ve just listened to your interview w/ @TheNewsAgents & strongly reject your assertion that “some ppl are addicted to #Partygate”.
In fact hearing you defend the actions, inactions & RELENTLESS LIES of #BorisJohnson during his premiership is sickening.

I can only assume that you are able to block out the avoidable harm & visceral pain felt by millions of ppl in the UK, since Mar 2020, which could have been lessened by us having a decent, honest, compassionate PM who wasn’t only interested in himself & furthering his career?

esp 3 of #unprecedented by @Guto_Harri. 3 things: 1/Guto says #BorisJohnson caused own demise by lack of decisive /timely action - maybe advice was sufficiently compelling but also surprising as BJ never one to throw himself under a bus when there's someone else he could throw.
2/ Sue Gray (and #standards
Committe) was "obviously" out to get Johnson, and he's repeated this elsewhere. #unprecedented

It really doesn’t matter which side of “#brexit” you fall on, or which side of “refugees should put in harms way by sending them to a dictatorship in #rwanda” you fall on

Did #SueGray gather the evidence and report the facts of gatherings in Downing Street or did she set the narrative and set the wheels in motion to oust a democratically elected PM? 🧵👇
Was she motivated by her politics or did she simply report the facts?

There has been an escalation of events over the last few days. Sue Gray defecting to Labour. Privileges Committee releasing documents and further photos. Timing is everything! 1/5
I suspect the escalation is because the "Windsor Framework" on Northern Ireland is falling apart and is a death knell for #rishisunak.

1. To intend to mislead is to lie
To inadvertently mislead is to report what you think is true but later find out that it wasn’t
That’s what the ministerial code distinguishes between
What’s this addition of reckless? How are they defining that in action?

It's pretty clear that #borisjohnson was stitched up over Partygate and removed from office because of it. Boris was a democratically elected Prime Minister, winning 43 percent of the popular vote and an eighty-seat majority. Boris was the electorate's choice. 1/5
The question is what happens now because if there was no stitch-up then #borisjohnson would still be Prime Minister, and there would be no "Windsor Framework" and other important bills, Government would look different. 2/5
Conservative MPs including #rishisunak should immediately call an emergency meeting to decide whether they have the mandate to lead the country after the forced and fraudulent removal of our elected Prime Minister 3/5
