🚨BREAKING🚨
Why are doctors in court again today against the government?

@EveryDoctorUK+@GoodLawProject have 4 legal cases against the government, being heard in May re dodgy PPE. They’re withholding key evidence🚨

We know there was a VIP channel; those who knew ministers...
were up to 10x more likely to be awarded PPE contracts at the height of the first wave. To put this in context; NHS staff had no PPE. Or they had bin bags. Or they had to make PPE out of theatre curtains or cling film or laminator sheets. And meanwhile, instead of purchasing...
PPE from appropriate suppliers, public money was handed out like smarties. Hundreds of millions to friends or associates or donors. It’s an absolute travesty. And as we work on our legal evidence as the May court dates approach...
the papers we have, the evidence, has names scrubbed out all over. Names of these so-called ‘VIPs’. Names of officials who awarded the contracts. We need these names in order to fight for justice. And so we’ve asked the judge today to force the government to tell us their names..
We have a few more names now🚨, a few more people who made profits from PPE while our friends and colleagues had no PPE and died in their hundreds.

🛑P14 medical; run by a Tory councillor and donor, given £276million in PPE contracts.
🛑Meller...
designs, run by another Tory donor, given £160m in PPE contracts. David Meller sits on the board of right-wing think tank “Policy Exchange”. Luxe lifestyle; £26m to a company which appeared insolvent, with no employees😮

We’re still fighting for details. We must do everything...
we can to hold this government to account. Please help us by re-tweeting and by donating to EveryDoctor. We’re so grateful for the support you’re offering us. Ju💙

During the first wave of the pandemic, the following things happened:
1. Schools, hairdressers, garages turned over their businesses to create homemade PPE because we had hardly any, and many frontline workers were dying. Many of these people did this totally unpaid....
2. People all over the country came together to sew scrubs. Lots of people did this, again, for no money whatsoever.
3. Doctors I represent were told they had no access to central supplies of PPE, and were advised to sort themselves out (they made PPE out of laminated sheets...
and sanitary towels. They went to B+Q and bought any face masks they could find. Many didn’t have any. Many frontline workers died. They were unprotected, and they died.
4. The notion that any of these people would be seeking financial compensation, or profit, or tax breaks...

🚨Right guys, we have a challenge🚨
This “let’s blame Dom” story has probably been timed to push the PPE scandal articles off the front pages. We need everyone to understand what happened in court yesterday against the government.
💙Pls RT this thread.
🤞Can we hit 1000 RTs?🤞

As you know, @EveryDoctorUK and @GoodLawProject are taking the government to court, because they entered into PPE deals with companies who had no experience in supplying PPE. As doctors, we are deeply concerned about the risk...
this placed on NHS staff+patients. We need to get to the bottom of the ‘VIP lane’ where ministers handed out contracts to friends and associates. People with no business supplying medical items. Hundreds of our friends and colleagues died, many with no PPE. These cases are...

I’m being targeted by right-wing trolls because I have declared I won’t take any interviews with GBNews.
4 points:
1. I am approached for interview across news networks frequently in my role as EveryDoctor Chief Executive.
2. I am deeply concerned about the rising levels of...
intolerance displayed by some groups in our society. I will not be complicit in escalating racism, misogyny and prejudice against individuals with protected characteristics.
3. I believe GBNews will further escalate these problems.
4. Some people are trying to bait me by...
suggesting that I have ‘trolled GBNews’. You cannot troll an entity. I have insulted no individual, and will continue to avoid doing so.

Trolling is intimidating, but no troll will receive a response from me. We need to speak up plainly and to continue to do so. I am a..

A story about 23 cans of butter beans.

When I decided to pause my psychiatry training to set up EveryDoctor, I didn’t initially have a team. I didn’t have an income. And the only way we could afford to do it was to first move our family of 4 into a 1 bed flat in London, then...
Save up and renovate a small cottage in rural Ireland. We could afford childcare for our 1+2.5 year old there. We knew no one. And I flew back and forth to London as I tried to build relationships with journalists. I was sent threats by senior establishment figures in...
Medicine. I was warned I’d be struck off. I was trolled to an unbelievable extent. And I had no income. Rumours started that I was starting a ‘cult’. I was told I was looking to ‘profiteer like Richard Branson’. It was really, really hairy trying to convince anyone I wasn’t...
