NEW: Today #Cummings called secrecy of SAGE ‘a catastrophic mistake’. We know.

It’s why we’ve supported @IndependentSage from the start. And why at 8pm tonight, we launch our @YouTube documentary: the inside story.

(Warning: includes more #Cummings)
Only on May 4, day @IndependentSage launched that govt released SAGE names.

The story of how #Cummings spurred them to action is told for first time. Featuring: @Sir_David_King @globalhlthtwit @SusanMichie @Zubhaque @chrischirp @CarolineLucas & @krishgm
We refuse to let govt off the hook. We refuse to let #Cummings off the hook. It’s why we’ve launched new project #KeepingTheReceipts. Join us at 8.15 for a Twitter Space hosted by @drmeenalviz for a #Cummings deep dive with @GabrielScally @dgurdasani1 @JujuliaGrace & @peterjukes Image
BREAKING: @globalhlthtwit from @IndependentSage hopefully joining us. And @ProfJohnDrury from SPI-B & @IndependentSage behavioural sub-group.

Oh look! @MattHancock is denying it all!
Now will @Dominic2306 share the evidence he claims having?
Or has it disappeared with the explosion of texts and Whatsapps this government is run on?

No trail, no accountability. Image
Dont'you get the chills every single time a politician deflects a legitimate question by saying "this is not what the British people care about"?

RT if you care about it 📢

.@Dominic2306 realising he could substantiate his accusations to @MattHancock had they not used disappearing texts. Image

Right. Our experimental Twitter Space is now open!! You need to join on your phone. There's a purple bubble up in the top left hand corner. Click on it & come on join @drmeenalviz & a collection of Cummings experts
Now up is @dgurdasani1 on how inexplicable it is that the government refused to accept what was happening in the rest of the world.

'Public health experts were shouting from the rooftops. But it felt like no-one was listening'
This is fascinating. @ProfJohnDrury who is a member of SAGE's SPI-B committee. He's responding to the accusations from Dominic Cummings that his group had said the public wouldn't follow advice because of 'behavioural fatigue'

Let the Ben Warner drinking game commence. Sip for a name check, shot when DC passes the buck to him, down it when #DominicCummings compares him to Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day (yes that just happened) 🍻
Uh oh… I didn’t expect it to be this lethal. Switching to OJ. And have a biscuit every time Ben’s brother Mark gets a mention.
"A lot of people in government kept thinking that the real damage would be the economical one". Thousands died.

Today #DominicCummings will give evidence to parliament. This is what you don’t know. The revelation that he was sitting on SAGE had many consequences. This was one of them

Help us crack the case of the omitted data!

On Saturday, @carolecadwalla published a story on how the government had 'tried to block' data on spread of new Covid variant in English schools, just ahead of its decision to remove the mandate on masks.

Check the time ⏱️🧐
Around 10 pm on Saturday, in the middle of Eurovision Public Health England, finally publishes the omitted (for 3 days) data on spread of Indian variant. Data on schools still missing. WHY?
