It is IMPOSSIBLE that this conduct from Priti Patel was “accidental”. We, the taxpayer, have previously had to fork out £25k in settlement for another claim of “accidental” bullying in ANOTHER department..some four years before.

I think 3 separate departments.
“Legal correspondence seen by the BBC show a junior employee at the DWP brought a formal complaint of bullying and harassment against the department, including Ms Patel, after being dismissed from her role in October 2015.”
“The staff member's grievance letter alleges she had previously attempted to kill herself after reporting similar allegations of workplace bullying concerning another individual in 2014, before Ms Patel was a minister.”
“The staff member also alleges she was told the decision to dismiss her a year later was not made on performance grounds but because Ms Patel did not "like [her] face", according to comments attributed to her line manager and a colleague.”
On that day in October 2015, Ms Patel had shouted at the woman in her private office and told her to "get lost" and "get out of her face", the correspondence alleges.
“Ms Patel is described as having acted "without warning" and with an "unprovoked level of aggression", in the woman's formal grievance complaint.”

That was in 2015. Of course she knew. And so did May, Johnson & colleagues. And the Whips Office.

Very information packed thread from @rupert_pearse on the status quo in hospitals approaching Winter.

Essential reading.

I suspect we will be looking at a slower paced more Mexican Wave than the Spring sharp peaks and troughs. So as things slow in the NW they are rising in SW
The reference to 15000 in hospital. In fact was 1644 on Wednesday, the last complete day and looks likely to be similar now.

That is just about 3k off the peak of Spring surge when it was under 20k. ImageImage
Sorry 16,440!

The shipment of protective PPE overalls linked to N Korean labour was part of a contract awarded by the DHSC to Unispace Global Ltd, a commercial design company registered in the UK, which set up a PPE procurement operation called Unispace Health Ltd this year
In fact I think this is the Plymouth Brethren network of companies that cornered over a £billion of contracts and it seems keen to rebadge itself from UniSpace to Sante Trading.

@DamianHastie

How very “Praise the Lord” to use Slave Labour.
The women working up to 18 hours a day in N Korea, with 70% of their earnings seized from them by the Gov. Constantly surveilled.

No days off. Not allowed out.

So we maybe funnelling money to Kim Jong-Un @NAOorguk Image

The Hospital Best-Prepared for CV-19 Is Nearly Overwhelmed - The Atlantic

“In the past 2 weeks, the hospital had to convert an entire building into a COVID-19 tower, from the top down. It now has 10 COVID-19 units, each taking up an entire hospital floor” theatlantic.com/health/archive…
“Three of the units provide intensive care to the very sickest people, several of whom die every day. One unit solely provides “comfort care” to COVID-19 patients who are certain to die.”
“We’ve never had to do anything like this,” Angela Hewlett, the infectious-disease specialist who directs the hospital’s COVID-19 team, told me. “We are on an absolutely catastrophic path.”

Why would she do that? Very curious. From a quick look the two directors : Michael Quinn (now dead) & Brendan Cahill - both Irish. Company BVI. What interest would Patel and Shanker have in them?
Here Shanker Singham is expressing an opinion about the case but what is his interest in it? Competere Group. Looks as if it is linked to the Legatum Institute & the Chandlers who profited off the Russian oil/gas energy market collapse and sales

🦠 20,252 new cases. Processing back up but looks as if catch up is still taking place

⚰️⚰️⚰️. 5111 (28 day cut off) new deaths

63,873 ONS certified deaths up to 6th November. C 67k by now.

🏥 Admissions still high at 1737 on Tuesday
Similar on Thursday. Every. Single. Day ImageImage
🛌 16,444 patients IN hospital on Wednesday.

The rate of increase has definitely slowed. Increased deaths is emptying some beds. Discharges no doubt others to compensate for the c 1740 coming in every day.

Some marked regional variations. Rising markedly in some areas. ImageImage
Worth keeping an eye on the changing data over 7 days and also per country. See @LawrenceGilder ‘s summary.
