1/ @AndrewBowie_MP on #PoliticsLive, repeating ad nauseam, the predictable #Tory lines that EVERYTHING #DominicCummings said yesterday was only HIS OPINION, that we must focus our minds on the #VaccinationRollout & that “PEOPLE” just don’t care.

2/ Like the many thousands of HCW & SCW colleagues who have worked right through the pandemic caring for ppl with #COVID19 & putting our lives (& the lives of our families) at risk on a daily basis w/ inadequate #PPE, I CARE VERY MUCH!

3/ The success of the #NHS #VaccineRollout CANNOT wipe away the trauma of all the lives lost & irrevocably damaged in the last year, much of it PREDICTED, AVOIDABLE & UNNECESSARY.

And I will not stand by letting this merry band of sycophantic @Conservatives MPs try to do so.

4/ It’s not only utterly disingenuous but deeply insensitive to all those who’ve died, are living w/ long term debilitating symptoms or are grieving the loss of a loved one.

Did Mr Bowie swallow the “I’ll say whatever it takes to stay in my job” manual this morning?

5/ His lines will sound incredibly empty to all those lost to non-#Covid illness, because the effect of repeated government failures on all of healthcare have been absolutely devastating.

That the economic fallout is far worse than it needed to be goes w/out saying.

6/ Such words are completely hollow & without a shred of compassion, just like the words of every #Tory MP who has stood by the #PrimeMinister & #MattHancock in recent days & months whilst the “bodies piled high” & as we now head towards another AVOIDABLE WAVE of #COVID19.

7/ @MarkHarper in the @HouseofCommons earlier prattling on AGAIN about ending ALL restrictions in <4 weeks.

Did no one in the #Tory party do an O’Level or GCSE in science?

What is actually so hard to understand?
#COVIDisAirborne #VentilationMatters & #MasksSaveLives SIMPLE!

8/ Every single one of them prepared to sell their soul, fuelled by their own ambitions & greed.

But the accountability clock is now ticking!

There are far too many of us who have lived & breathed the reality of #COVID19UK for this to be swept under the #Vaccination carpet.

9/ Missed #COBRA meetings, 3 late #Lockdowns, Ceasing community testing Mar20, Failure 2 provide #PPE, #HerdImmunity #TestTraceIsolate scandal, #CareHomesScandal, #VIPLane scandal, #EatOutToHelpOut, #SchoolsAreStillNotSafe
#WorkplacesAreStillNotSafe, Removal of #MasksInClass ETC

10/ Whether you trust #DominicCummings or not, his account explains fully the chaotic, disastrous & deadly “strategy” that has given us a truly tragic death toll & an economic hit to match.

11/ Every #Conservative MP(& all those in the MSM) who have played along with #BorisJohnson’s #KingOfTheWorld GAME & have supported him despite knowing he was (& remains) completely unfit to be #PrimeMinister, are complicit.

12/ Now’s the time for honesty, transparency, accountability & integrity.
We must URGENTLY improve safety in schools/nurseries/indoor workplaces/healthcare & provide #PPE that matches the danger.
Many lives are still at risk!
