Officials ‘blocked access to witness’ in Priti Patel inquiry | Politics | The Guardian
Well well.
Sir Alex Allan sought to interview the former top Home Office official, Sir Philip Rutnam about his dealings with Patel, but was blocked by gov officials. theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
Extraordinary.
It wasn’t that Sir Alex chose not to speak to Rutnam.
He was denied access to a key witness.
“Allan bent over backwards to be as fair as possible to (Patel) but the weight of evidence was such that he still came to the conclusion that Patel had bullied staff,”
1/. Sir Alex was put “under a lot of pressure”
2/. Johnson has been sitting on this review since April. 7 whole months.
He is so WEAK. Without principle. And beholden to Patel for keeping him out of her Israeli Gov betrayal in 2017.
Just to add another MP stepping up to hold Patel’s bully coat.
Bizarre. The U.K. group is about 1/3rd the size of the Brazil group.
But how do you reconcile such different results where the markedly larger group with the larger dose was markedly less effective than the smaller group and smaller first dose?
Miss Patel has also been accused of bullying her private secretary during her time as International Development Secretary. A senior official at Dfid has claimed there was a 'tsunami' of allegations of abuse by officials in her private office.
One former senior figure in the department told the Mail yesterday that she had 'harassed' her private secretary to the point where he was eventually signed off sick with a stress-related condition and asked for a transfer to another department.
The 14 day quarantine period plus genomic sequencing of test samples enabled NZ to track how the virus moved. 86 passengers total.
AT LEAST 4 onward in flight transmissions occurred proved through genomic sequencing, tracked to Switzerland where the original infection arose.
EVEN if you do PCR testing within 48 hours of flight (let alone less precise antigen tests) it is hard to keep infected people off flights. They don’t know they have the virus, despite best efforts.
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
