Perspective from @DawnButlerBrent: “They’ve been using the pandemic as a screen to hide their authoritarian ways of dealing with our democracy."

“There are powers on the statute book that should make everybody’s eyes water.” - @DawnButlerBrent 2/
“They rely on the rest of us to be honourable and to obey the rules and all the time they are taking the piss behind our backs... Those people in control can be as corrupt as they like and nobody is going to hold them to account.” @DawnButlerBrent 3/
“The irony of this is they’re spending our public money defending the indefensible, so we’re paying for them to defend their lies.” @DawnButlerBrent 4/
“This government is corrupt and it’s divisive and it’s led by a liar, and the fish rots from the head, and we have a rotten government.” - @DawnButlerBrent 6/
"...and I’m thinking ‘hang on a minute, if I’m reading this information from WHO, from the scientists and I’m gleaning this information, why aren’t you?’... “It’s very clear that they had other plans and other roads to travel.” @DawnButlerBrent END

The UK medicines regulator says Pfizer safe for over 12s
Over 12s being vaccinated all across the world
This sociologist say he & his JCVI committee will not allow it because Long Covid isn’t real. The 2m UK sufferers have ‘psychosomatic symptoms’
Professor Dingwall, above, signed a letter to UK govt in support of herd immunity Great Barrington declaration.
He has no clinical qualifications. Other members of JCVI do. Do they all believe Long Covid is ‘in the mind’? Feel free to tag them in & ask them.
Do you have Long Covid? Tell us your symptoms. Tag in these other scientists. They must understand they are standing up & supporting Dingwall’s extreme Great Barrington views unless they speak out. They need to tell victims to their faces they don’t have a ‘real’ disease
91% of the top 47 Covid19 UK gov contract winning firms are run by men – an investigation by @allthecitizens and @BylineBITE can reveal…
In addition, not a single CEO or senior director of the top 47 companies in our review of those companies that won the largest pandemic contracts – some 145 people – was a black woman.
The investigation found that 91% of the CEOs and managing directors who have won the main Covid-19 contracts since the pandemic began are men. 91% are white. drive.google.com/file/d/1_dAz5k…
We don’t think it’s ‘Freedom Day’. We think it’s #UnFreedomDay. A day on which unreason & untruths have triumphed. It’s a dark day for Britain. Populism & individualism have won. Science & public health have lost.
Today the reason we started our Keeping the Receipts comes to an ugly head. Because this culture of impunity, the erosion of our institutions & norms is what has led us here. To a moment when the govt can force through a policy of reckless endangerment…& get away with it.
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:
LIVE NOW: Please join us for an emergency international summit with scientists from UK & across the globe on the threat the UK government's Covid-19 plan poses to the world pscp.tv/w/c8AM3XR3LTEx…
Thank you @guardian. And a huge thank you to the international scientists who have come together to sound the alarm. 🙏🙏🙏
