It was bollocks at the time. It’s still bollocks now. In all seriousness, how are we meant to take public health advice from these people?
It was a lie. That’s what @Jeremy_Hunt established. It wasn’t ‘inappropriate’, it was that we didn’t have capacity. But she didn’t say that

Schools would be safe. If we had functioning test & trace system. We don’t. That what she’s not saying this time
(H/t @StefSimanowitz for the video)

Bit baffled by this. None of us knew he was missing. Also, what operation? Also, you’re reporting this not as rumour or a ‘source’ but as fact meaning..it’s confirmed? From number 10? You went to them or it was deliberately leaked? If so, why without attribution? Why now?
Not my intention to be rude, FYI. It just seems like we’re only getting half the facts here. You must have asked, ‘what kind of op?’ Unless you already knew? If you don’t know, fine. And if you know & are not divulging for privacy reasons, fine. But can’t you say which?
And if this has been strategically leaked to you, can’t you say? Or if it’s not been strategically leaked, can’t you say? It makes a difference. And you know. But you’re not letting on. So it creates this weird situation where we have partial info but without context..

Two extraordinary stories collide this week. The Senate Intelligence report on Russia. And the deeply sinister poisoning of Navalny. And there’s a figure who connects them both. And us: Oleg Deripaska.

You need to watch this video. And I’ll explain..

Navalny isn’t just the main opposition figure in Russia. He also does extraordinary investigations into Kremlin corruption & is a gifted storyteller. The video is in Russian but has subtitles & tells an amazing story with footage taken on Deripaska’s yacht

So many disturbing aspects to this. Deripaska was named in Senate’s report as proxy of the Kremlin who conducts influence operations abroad. There are pages & pages about him & his associate a Russian intelligence officer & their r’ship with Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort

‘Deripaska conducts influence operations frequently in countries where he has a significant economic interest. The Russian government coordinates with & directs Deripaska on many of his influence operations’

Britain is a country where Deripaska has significant economic interests Image
There are pages & pages & pages about Deripaska. But here in Britain: total silence. From press, from parliament, from government.

From @nytimes 2018:

‘Deripaska, 50, has spent 2 decades trying to buy respect in the West. London welcomed him. Washington mostly did not’ ImageImage
Here he is. Lord Barker of Battle. Deripaska’s man on earth. He took a ‘leave of absence’ from parliament last year but he has used his title to leverage influence & connections on what Senate Intel report says is Kremlin’s behalf Image
