"It was definitely raised with the Prime Minister in the first half of January. The government did not treated it as the most important thing then, as it did not in February. It was not until the last week of February that there was a sense of urgency". #dominicummings 
🚨BREAKING 🚨
On Texts and Whatapps exchanged at the time: He kept some copies but not all. Says he can share them with committee #dominicummings

🚨BREAKING 🚨#Dominicummings just admitted to using WhatsApp for comms (at least with Ben Warner) and that ‘not all’ were saved.
#dominicummings admitting it was all a slow-motion disaster, the official plan and advice were wrong and the PM was unable to realise it until too late is shocking to watch.
"There was no plan for furlough, as there was none for shielding of testing. Nothing. Zero. Nada"
There was a press release instead

The PPE procurement was not only corrupt, it was completely nuts. No emergency fast-track process, no planning, no clue #dominiccummings #CummingsShow
So basically they gov let the economical argument win over the lives of Britons.
Take this on the chin

'It'a absolutely crackers that someone like me could be in that position, Boris Johnson PM and Jeremy Corbyn leader of the opposition".

The Uk Covid world beating strategy was a scribble on a whiteboard and #DominicCummings' phone.
And back #DominicCummings is, dropping more 💣💣 on the Uk government's incompetence in handling the pandemic... in everything it touches actually 🤔
Hear hear, it's Faculty and #Palantir now 🦻
We have a feeling Dom is going to lose a lot of money here over patients' personal data being anonymised.
"Serious allegations" are actually pouring
Why did Boris Johnson NOT sack @MattHancock?

They therefore had to play a massive catch up to put up with the lack of preparation. 128k people died.
Cummings says that in March 2020 @MattHancock said in the cabinet room that people would have been tested BEFORE being sent to care homes.
It was a deadly LIE.
Potential manslaughter charge.💣🔥

Hearing Section 3 out of 4 has just ended.
More 💣to come.
The wrap-up, in #Cummings' own words: "Tens of thousands of people died, who didn't need to die."

The wrap-up, in #Cummings' own words: "Tens of thousands of people died, who didn't need to die."
"A guy called Heneghan & a woman from Oxford, Sunetra Gupta, came and said 'don't lock down'. John Edmunds from SAGE said the lesson from March is to lock down. The PM said, 'I'm not persuaded of this' "
'The Cabinet was not involved or asked'
'There's a great misunderstanding that people have that because COVID nearly killed him that he took it seriously.'
Well this is unfortunate timing
'People need to understand the government failed them when they needed it.'
Cummings uncharacteristically reluctant to criticise Sunak’s signature #eatouttohelpout scheme. Can only imagine to the vitriol if it had been Hancock’s brainchild 🧐
'The Prime Minister's girlfriend was trying to appoint her friends to certain positions in ways that were clearly unethical and probably illegal'
Cummings sums up his departure last November:
He recognised Johnson’s incompetence, he was making “terrible decisions” but felt unable to make the situation better. This was worsened by what he saw with Carrie Symonds’ toxic influence to an already dysfunctional dynamic.

Absolutely this from @MichaelRosenYes. It's not a pantomime. It's mass murder.

Finding Cummings’ liberal use of the phrase ‘death bed’, relating to himself when in Durham and Johnson when he was in hospital, a bit sickening. Neither men required intensive care, so it is unnecessary hyperbole.
In the context of 10000s dead it seems in especially poor taste

'I've got WhatsApps between me & all sorts of senior people.' There it is again. Compelling testimony from Dominic Cummings on why our legal challenge with @Foxglovelegal is so essential.
