#MattHancock often seems to have problems when asked simple questions
When FINALLY asked who issued the instruction to send people from hospitals to care homes without testing & if it was approved by a Minister &, if so, which one? - he lost his hearing!
When asked about the failure of the App & @didoharding’s “cherry on the cake” (the £37b Test & Trace fiasco) @MattHancock faked hysteria
“I think many of my viewers will think this isn’t a laughing matter,” said @KayBurley
The death toll had hit 65,000
We know the govt did NOT “stick to the science like glue”
2/. Last July - after much delay - the #RussiaReport was finally published
It’s findings were truly terrifying
It revealed the govt & intelligence agencies had actively avoided looking for evidence that Russia interfered in the Brexit vote
Self-sabotage
3/. The implications of the #RussiaReport fed into my ongoing investigation into what appears to be a global #DataGrab for population-wide genomic data
I’d already traced the plan back to 2015
Russian interference in the 2016 #Trump election & #Brexit vote made perfect sense!
Today women’s & LGBTI+ organizations, political parties & people from all over Turkey are marching to demand that #Turkey reverse it’s decision to withdraw from the #IstanbulConvention on violence against women. THREAD👇#İstanbulSözleşmesindenVazgeçmiyoruz
Report via @ahval_en: “Turkish police battered women who gathered in Istanbul to protest #Turkey's withdrawal from the #IstanbulConvention on domestic & gender-based violence”
“Feminism isn’t a Western invention. Feminism wasn’t invented by American women. It’s embedded in the culture & in the struggle of all women all over the world" #NawalElSaadawi Egyptian feminist to @krishgm in 2018 #MeToo#TimesUp#IstanbulConvention
Perhaps it says more about the state of my mind than it does about the state of the country, but watching the #ENGSCO game in the pub, I thought I saw a British Union of Fascists flag
The anti-lockdown movement has brought together an strange confluence of groups
But the involvement of the far-right is disturbing
Their spores of hate travel wide on the winds of social media, even parasitically hijack the language of human rights: “freedoms”, “liberties” etc.
Language has always been a battleground, but the “Culture War” is intensifying very rapidly
Even before the #COVID19 pandemic,
the forces of progress had been in retreat as the narrative was increasing framed not just by conservatives but by the far-right. #ThisIsNotADrill
1/. Dido Harding officially applies to become CEO of NHS England
“If she gets the job after spaffing £37bn on Test & Trace, it’s blatant corruption & we should report it to the government’s corruption tsar who is - *checks notes* - #DidoHarding’s husband. Oh.” @davidschneider
2/. #DidoHarding will no doubt draft very compelling cover letter, but I’d suggest anyone on the @NHSEngland interview panel looks at this @PrivateEyeNews article
It puts together things that Dido somehow left out of her official CV
Her career appears to be a litany of disaster
3/. “Putting Dido Harding in charge of the NHS would be like putting Gavin Williamson in charge of schools” @davemacladd
As well as getting a peerage, Dido
has also won awards: two wooden spoons from @DailyMailUK for “worst customer service in the UK” while she was at @TalkTalk
