This appears to have taken off somewhat - thanks for all the retweets and comments.
Several people are asking what can be done. A couple of small suggestions follow. Do share other, no doubt better, thoughts too. 1/5

Try to explore their position on these sorts of issues - where do they stand on eg breaches of international law and the Ministerial Code, international COVID comparisons... 2/5

...free speech, the right to protest, cronyism, etc etc. How do Ministers etc seek to explain their position? Juxtapose what they said then with what they are saying now.

The thread would be more effective if it contained clips from Ministers taking inconsistent positions - eg piously denouncing breaches of international law; while belittling their own 'specific and limited' breaches. 4/5
Brushing away international comparisons of COVID death rates; while celebrating the success of the UK's vaccine roll-out. Etc etc.
I was thinking perhaps 'how it started'/'how it's going'. That sort of thing. Maybe? 5/5
