For months, the PM said “we should should rely on the common sense of the British people”.
For months, the British people have struggled make sense of the #COVID crisis, looking to @WHO, @IndependentSage etc. & ignoring inconsistent & garbled govt advice.

“Covid Marshalls” coming to a street near you!
They won’t have any official powers but they’ll be there to keep an eye on anyone they think has broken the rules or maybe planning on breaking the rules.
Imagine the sorts of people who’ll be applying for that job. #COVID19 #COVID

“The PM should be able to appoint whoever he wants as a minister & there's a very simple mechanism I think for doing this. You whack them in the House of Lords then you give Lords greater audience in the House of Commons.” #Cummings, 2014.
In June @jnpowell1 called this “a coup”

“This looks like the beginning of a rolling coup. It starts with the civil service then moves on to the judiciary & the BBC,” writes Jonathan Powell.
Don’t be distracted by the many decoys.
This is a highly-organised, well-funded, heavily-disguised coup.

The road to authoritarianism:
1 degrade media
2 neuter civil society
3 undermine rule of law
4 Do it "for the people”
Journalists are nervous
Editors are nervous
Civil servants are nervous
The judiciary are nervous
MPs who can see what is happening & don’t like it, are nervous

#PinkRainbow Clissold Park, London
Some people have suggested that last night’s sky was a sign or a portend of doom.
Personally, I don’t believe in bad omens although I did feel an icy shiver when I found out that this #PinkRainbow had one end in Westminster & the other end in County Durham...in #BarnardCastle!

#BREAKING: Chris Grayling fails to get enough votes be elected as Chair of the Intelligence & Security Committee.
MPs elected Tory backbencher, Julian Lewis, instead. Embarrassing for @BorisJohnson from start to finish. #chrisgrayling #BreakingNews

Let’s hope #JulianLewis releases the #RussiaReport before summer recess next week?
The report was finished in March 2019 & sent to the PM in October - 9 months ago!!!
Approval of release & publication typically takes 10 days. (via @PeterStefanovi2)

My stance and thread on June 1st #schoolsreopening just so the #dfe don't bully you with blind Science... I think the way #DominicCummnings was treated totally different to anyone else sums up the real lack of trust from the #government from Parents and teachers alike. 1/3
We wanted to start with Y6 on June 1st in bubbles BUT only 9/46 wanted the kids to return. Sadly this is not possible now as only 50% of the #PPE order has arrived. Im not opening my school (other than #Keyworkers / #vulnerables) until I can guarantee staff and children's safety
I am not willing to have the #DFE blood on my hands. The disaster in the #carehomes and with #edenred shows their decisions are pretty 'rubbish'. Thus following the RA, Y6 return June 15th ... Y1 June 29th (if things go well) and Rec July 13th. I have full Gov backing and....
Let's take a forensic look at #DominicCummnings conduct during lockdown. S.3 of the Ministerial Code deals with appointments of special advisers and refers to the 'Code of Conduct for Special Advisers', which states they 'must not take public part in political controversy'. 1/14
Paragraph 14 (SAs Code) is unambiguous: 'Special advisers must not take public part in political controversy, through any form of statement whether in speeches or letters to the press, or in books, social media, articles or leaflets'. They must avoid personal attacks. 2/14
In Cummings case, he has become the story - he is the political controversy. After Cummings called for 'misfits and weirdos' to apply for jobs in Downing Street, Andrew Sabisky was hired; 'superforecaster' Sabinsky later resigned for becoming the story over rascist comments.3/14
