OK let's see how many times Matt Hancock refuses to answer this question:

Did you tell government figures that people were being tested when they went from hospitals to care homes.

He's ignored ONE from Laura Kuenssberg so far...
#DowningStreetBriefing
Oh my god this is a goddamn train wreck!! 😂😂😂😂
You can see Laura Kuenssberg still trying to ask the question again as Matt Hancock moves on, then @carldinnen tries again...
And it's just amazing!
#DowningStreetBriefing
Then @BethRigby tried and he just repeats the same thing.
It would be so easy to just say "No I didn't tell anyone that we were testing everyone going from hospitals to care homes, because we hadn't built the capacity to do that yet."
But nope.

This is just getting creepy now. 😬

@talkRADIO just uploaded 2 minutes of insults about me without showing the tweet they were calling me a plank for or making any logical argument against the politics of it.

Are you people OK?
@Iromg @CarverEmily @willgeddes
Mike Graham is now attacking me for my appearance.... OK. Image
Watched 5-min segment on Youtube.🤢

Didn't even show my tweet🚫
They say I claimed UK democracy is just as bad as Belarus🚫
They say I worked at a law firm.🚫
They say they want to see me hit with an iron truncheon in a Belarusian prison.🚫

Belarus, the only other European country that uses our FPTP voting system, just arrested the organiser of last year's protest.

Belarus is often called Europe's Last Dictatorship, but really it's the UK's Ghost of Tory Future.

To anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating...

PLEASE, tell me why else a government would give itself the power to arrest people for simply being noisy at a protest.

I'm waiting?

There's a reason it's historically called "Creeping Dictatorship"!
Under the Tory Government's #PolicingBill, the police can decide that any protest is too noisy and jail the person who organised it for a year without the person ever even seeing a jury.

THIS weakens our ability to call out regimes like Belarus for arresting protest organisers.

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel want the police to start fights with peaceful protesters.

Why else would the Policing Bill give officers the power to arrest protesters who are being 100% peaceful? #NoisyAndAnnoying
The government's justification for a law that fines people up to £2,500 for simply raising their voice at a protest, is to stop police being assaulted.🤔

Does that make sense?
Is assaulting police legal now?
Do they NEED to silence protesters to keep cops safe?
#NoisyAndAnnoying
@pritipatel @GMB @BorisJohnson @MathildaMall @DeborahFW @HumanRightsCtte Use your head! You KNOW that's total b*******s.

The irony is:
The fastest way to start a riot is to stop a protest and yet...
This government is effectively banning protests but claiming that they're doing it to stop riots.

The fact that millions of people in the UK think Brexit delivered our vaccines, despite the UK regulator saying it's not true and several EU countries rolling out Russian vaccines independently, should make every single mainstream UK journalist feel utterly ashamed of themselves.
You all watched this.

Hi @LozzaFox @toadmeister @JuliaHB1!

We disagree on almost everything BUT:

If your fight for personal liberty (masks, free speech..) has ANY integrity, you'll oppose the Policing Bill which criminalises being #NoisyAndAnnoying at protests, just as strongly.
Can we count on you?
You've treated masks as muzzles.
You've described lockdown as intentional government suppression and population control.

THIS. IS. WORSE.

So I hope you would like your libertarianism to at least appear consistent:

Oppose the #NoisyAndAnnoying clauses.
I'm working on a campaign alongside other people you probably despise as much as me.

You don't need to work with us. They're not fans of you either.

But I hope you'll support the cause of freedom, regardless of who's running alongside you.
#NoisyAndAnnoying.
