This international summit made headlines around the world: from American to Germany to India to France to Italy. It’s on front page today of @FT & @Independent.

Please watch it. And understand how reckless & dangerous a path the govt is leading us down

Why are we failing to heed these gravely serious warnings of international experts? These are official government advisors flabbergasted by what we are doing:
Listen to former advisor to Australian government telling us we are wrong, wrong, wrong
This is a world-leading virologist who did pioneering work in HIV & AIDs. Our policy will kill 1000s, he says. How can we stand by & allow our government to do this?
This is the advisor to Italian govt. he agreed with @WmHaseltine said we should call it what it is: murder.
Compare the callous indifference of our politicians to the 3.7 million clinically vulnerable to the humanity expressed here by former advisor to Vietnam government
The headline in the i says it best. The world is watching. But it’s not a gamble. If you listen to these scientists, it’s a death march
Why is Britain charting a course that these scientific advisors from across the world are telling us will lead to death, disease, disability & future variants that could cripple our country in ways no-one wants to contemplate?
This is how the rest of the world sees us. They are looking on in disbelief

🚨Breaking:

Over £22.4bn has gone to just 50 companies in UK Gov Covid-19 contracts since the start of the pandemic.

In total, over 1,500 companies were involved in a UK contract bonanza worth £52.5bn – more than the Gross Domestic Product of 140 nation states and territories.
The top 5 companies won £9.2bn or 30% of the total amount given out in contracts since March 2020. This alone is more than the 2019 GDP of countries like Nicaragua and Armenia, according to World Bank data.
1,593 firms have been awarded contracts since March 2020. These total £33.1bn (not including framework agreements), a figure greater than the GDP of Paraguay or Cameroon.

The top 5 firms make up almost 1/3rd of the value of total contracts.
The top 50 make up 2/3rds (67%).

NEW: There are a lot of worried & angry scientists & doctors. They're wondering how they can shout any louder.

Help us help them hold the government to account.

Nearly 100k people have now watched emergency summit @theAliceRoberts hosted on Thurs with speakers that inc Lancet editor @richardhorton1, ex-CSA @Sir_David_King & hon VP of BMA @KailashChandOBE.

The public is listening. It's the government that's not.

It's gratifying that issue of mass infection has finally broken into mainstream. It's depressing because it comes after 2 months' of work with @dgurdasani1 to expose spread of Delta variant in schools & challenge the govt for suppressing the evidence.
