Maybe we could warm our hands at the sovereignty fountain instead
So what exactly is the Office for Health Promotion? it clearly is part 2 of the plan to reform @PHE_UK (@instituteforgov explainer here) - the creation of Andrew Lansley as part of his reforms
PHE's infection control and preparedness functions are already going to the National Institute for Health Protection under Dido Harding. That was part one of its dismemberment gov.uk/government/pub…
Govt said back then it would think about what to do about PHE's wider health promotion activities. Those campaigns on obesity, tobacco, alcohol etc that PHE did will now be undertaken by the Office of Health Promotion gov.uk/government/new…
“Taking Back Control!”
So what was that all about?
A few tycoons and Old Etonians getting more control over the rest of us?
Hedge funders escaping higher EU taxes?
Foreign corporations given the freedom to asset-strip the UK?
Let’s take a look.

Now the UK is flying solo, its companies have low valuations, becoming rich pickings for foreign owned vulture funds.
“For the average firm, Brexit is associated with a value loss of 16.4 per cent against a hypothetical no-Brexit scenario.”

UK companies are weighed down by additional red-tape which makes it difficult to compete unless they move to an EU base.

That may've been what @MattHancock was SAYING, Kay, but the Government's #messaging has been somewhat different. They should own it.
From #EatOutToHelpOut:
gov.uk/government/new… - noting Gov't made a postcode lookup tool for this, which they haven't done for #lockdown rules...

...and unless I'm very much mistaken, it was (and still is) the Government telling kids to #GoBackToSchool:
gov.uk/government/pub…
and Gov't which floated a campaign to get everyone else to #GoBackToWork - even though they quickly back-pedalled:
fullfact.org/health/coronav… ...

...not to mention egregious rule-flouting by an occupant of @10DowningStreet: classic #DoWhatWeSayNotWhatWeDo!
So if anyone's "to blame" for a second #lockdown, surely this Government - which can't stop trumpeting that it's "#TakingBackControl" - must take SOME #responsibility?

Altijd leuk als mensen een #thread maken over hun ideeën.
@PietLekkerkerk maakte een thread over de #EU-standpunten van #FvD omdat hij vindt dat deze standpunten onzinnig zijn.

Piet vraagt (tweet 3👇) naar de onderbouwing voor 2 beweringen van #FvD:
-dat de EU ons miljarden kost
-dat economieën in Zuid-Europa kapot gaan door de #EU
Eerst gaan we kijken naar de miljarden.

Piet stelt dat het ‘maar’ 1 miljard per jaar is.
Zijn linkje werkt niet meer, dus ik heb zelf even gegoogeld en kwam hier terecht.
Volgens de EU zelf👇 betaalde NL in 2017 bijna 2 miljard meer dan het ontving.

For years, the Tories have been threatening to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, now they've been gifted a huge majority their threat will be prosecuted. #TakingBackControl

1. Am I the only one infuriated with the view that if @theresa_may and @jeremycorbyn agree a #brexit #customsunion then all is fine. This ignores the fact that it is leaving the #singlemarket that is the killer for business making, importing or exporting products. Why? A thread..
2/ Much of the commercial debate around #Brexit has focused on whether we stay in the #CustomsUnion or not. That is because this is the current battle between #Conservatives and #Labour. If Labour prevailed, and the UK remains in a Customs Union, then the tariff issue dies
3/ However, the much bigger problem relates to the #SingleMarket. Neither main party wants to stay in the Single Market because you can’t have free movement of goods, services and capital without accepting the same for people. But abandoning the single market means...
