Catching up on @BBCPanorama & surprised not to see more headlines around its key findings – including Government counting items such as cleaning equipment, waste bags, detergent & paper towels as PPE. And *each* individual glove counted, rather than pairs

bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
The @BBCPanorama report found instances of hospital staff being provided with aprons people would serve food in and boxes of masks with out-of-date stickers stuck over out-of-date stickers #COVIDー19
Ahead of #COVIDー19, Government bought no gowns, visors, testing swabs or body bags for its stockpiles. @Johnrashton47 told @BBCPanorama: Government failed to get a grip early, took advice from too narrow a range of people and now spinning story to say it ‘followed the science’
6 weeks ago, Government downgraded #COVIDー19 from a 'highly infectious consequential disease'. PPE standards were also downgraded – sources on 'scientific committee' which advised this said it had to be in part a "pragmatic decision" because of the lack of PPE for staff

'How safe are British elections from foreign interference?' --> good to see @BBCNewsnight leading on this tonight. #GE2019 #ReleaseTheRussiaReport
Whitehall officials have told @BBCNewsnight that they feel Downing Street HAS had adequate time to clear the #Russia report for publication. Officials concerned that report has been suppressed due to worries about its 'weaponisation' - which has been put before national security
Dominic Grieve: "I very much fear that the report will never see the light of day" #ReleaseTheRussiaReport

"The Government’s place is not to be assisting people who think they can’t make it on their own, it’s an absolute last emergency order” --> the words of UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty & Human Rights @Alston_UNSR should shame Britain & need to be publicised. My THREAD:
Professor Philip Alston said that 14 million people are in poverty in the UK (a figure the Government disputes) and that child poverty rates are “staggering” and are predicted to go up significantly over the next couple of years. #poverty #humanrights #austerity
The UN Special Rapporteur said he saw “a lot of misery” during his trip to the UK & met “a lot of people who feel the system is really there just to punish them”. People who could have gotten help in "yesterday's Britain" can no longer count on it #poverty #humanrights #austerity
