Prediction: total shitshow come Sept when public realise implication of what’s happening re schools. It’s why #ZeroCOVID is only game in town & why every day we fail to pursue it is another day wasted. We are approaching failed state level of incompetence

Independent SAGE has been calling for #ZeroCOVID. It’s what Scotland & Ireland doing. @CMO_England failed to give any adequate response why UK is not. Labour missing in action. And failure to take action over summer = another potential disaster this winter

Meanwhile. This is hugely worrying.

Serco’s test & trace STILL failing to do the BASIC job it is being paid millions to do. After all these months we STILL don’t have a functioning system. Meanwhile, parliament HAS GONE ON HOLIDAY.
If that is the case @JonAshworth & @Keir_Starmer why have you failed to back or even engage with what is required for a #ZeroCOVID elimination strategy? The basic steps have not been taken. Every day counts.

There is terrible state of denial. Schools are the foundation to any sort of functioning economy. And cases are rising. Without a plan for elimination, there is no plan. This is our only window to get on top of the virus. And every day, we are failing

11 yrs ago, I returned to Lebanon where I’d lived previously to write one of those ‘Beirut so hip’ articles. It *was* breathtakingly hip. Also: breathtakingly corrupt. Looking at the images of a city destroyed, I can’t help think: this is where it leads. This is the road we’re on
Politics is a family business in Lebanon. And govt contracts are dispensed as political favours. This week, Johnson parachuted his brother into the Lords & millions of £ of Covid contracts is going to cronies with no oversight. This is neither trivial nor inconsequential
This isn’t a slow slide into cronyism. It’s a headlong fall. How else to explain gross spectacle of Johnson appointing Lord Lebedev days after parliament slammed his suppression of #RussiaReport & called it a security risk?

And then there’s this:

This 3-yr-old piece has just been tweeted into my timeline. Precursor to big Cambridge Analytica reveal. I’d forgotten I’d documented the lengths Dominic Cummings went to cover up his r’ship with company now at heart of govt COVID response @faculty_ai
theguardian.com/technology/201…
We didn’t know ‘physicists’ employed by Vote Leave’s data worked for @faculty_ai because he kept it a secret. After weeks of emails, he told me, ‘Anyone who wanted to cheat the law could do it easily without people realising.’ SPOILER! This included him
Why was identity of ‘the physicists’ kept secret? Why did ASI - now @faculty_ai - only admit its involvement after I clocked an invoice from them on Electoral Commission website? So many questions...including @faculty_ai’s relationship to Cambridge Analytica.

In Dec 2016, Sir Alex Younger, the head of MI6, made a highly unusual public speech. He didn't name Russia. But he made it clear that the UK was at risk from bad actors exploiting social media platforms.

We now know that this warning was not heeded

theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/d…
In April 2017, a senior intel analyst told me it was a marker. I used it to preface 2nd major report on Cambridge Analytica.

The head of MI6 understood the risks.

His boss, Boris Johnson, & his boss's boss, Theresa May, stopped him investigating. No other explanation now
Report makes it clear that this threat became known when Russia conducted 'hack & leak' against DNC in summer 2016.

When Boris Johnson was foreign secretary.

When leaks being orchestrated via London.

When London Russian embassy became conduit for Trump-Russia comms
