More - remarkable - news to come on Ayanda Capital's £250m PPE contract concluded with the help of one of @trussliz's Board of Trade advisers.

For now, curious to note that - for reasons which could be wholly innocent - Liz Truss no longer publishes who those advisers are.
Here's where they used to publish the names of those advisers (gov.uk/government/gro…).
Fortunately, we screen grabbed the names before Government took them down.

On Thursday we filed our detailed grounds and witness statements in our Judicial Review of the Gove/Cummings' decision to award an £840,000 contract to long time associates. We will post the full bundle on Monday but here are some highlights. THREAD
First, witness evidence. The big theme is, people are afraid to challenge this Government's law breaking because they believe they will be punished if they do. Following is evidence given by Anne-Marie Irwin of @ris_law of three individuals she spoke to.
Mrs A. She described the £840,000 contract price as "crazy" and says the award has triggered a massive debate in the industry. Image

The UK 'debate' around the treatment of transgender children - dominated by hobbyists and the politically motivated - increasingly resembles anti-vaxism.
psychologytoday.com/blog/political…
The best available evidence of the right way to treat transgender children is the international guidelines produced by WPATH and the Endocrine Society.

The @TaviAndPort - the only place in England you can be treated as a transgender child - operates those guidelines.
There are questions - very serious questions - to answer about the adequacy of treatment provision for transgender children. Those questions arise (mostly) because very few transgender children can access the services offered by @TaviAndPort and there is no alternative provision.

Yesterday Scotland's Daily Mail lied to its readers and pretended a staffer at US hate group, the ADF, was a UN Human Rights expert.

Here is that ADF staffer arguing that abortion is incompatible with human rights norms
Recently, other ADF staffers have been amplified by a number of well known UK based GC feminists.

I hope those UK GC feminists did not understand who and what they were promoting. But in the US GC feminists have formed alliances with the religious right.
It's not just here. Other religious right groups - allies of the ADF - have been influential on the attack on the LGBT+ community in Poland, which has now, with clockwork inevitability, morphed into an attack on the right of women to live without violence. opendemocracy.net/en/5050/ultra-…
