1/ Today in S.E London the petrol panic continues unabated with long queues at most forecourts no matter the sellers

On community hubs good news that the supermarkets, Asda, Sainsbury’s & Tesco, are receiving new deliveries but utter frustration at the suddenness of long queues
2/ Not every driver is a panic buyer.

Many that need to make essential journeys are being left high & dry, adversely impacted by the energy crisis.

Key workers, supermarket, transport, hospital staff & patients, rural population, economic losses as main routes snarl up…
3/ Many are very clear as to who they hold responsible for the energy crisis:

• Irresponsible press, mainly Tory, Mail, Sun, even the Torygraph for stoking it up
•Selfish panic buying
•And the buffoon in No.10

This really doesn’t bode well for Johnson

2/ The “Levelling Up Fund” is a huge £4.8bn fund which pretends to be the centrepiece of a levelling up agenda – but we think it’s just a way to funnel money into constituencies of political benefit to the Conservative Party.

@GoodLawProject More shocking PPE contract revelations: 28 May 2021

1/ Government gets a bona fide PPE offer from a would be supplier. The company has sourced the PPE, submitted a bid and passed through the technical checks….
2/ They’re close to signing on the dotted line. But at the eleventh hour they get dropped. Instead, Government buys the same thing from someone else. Someone who came in later but with close connections to Cabinet Ministers - and at an eye watering price….
3/ This is a story we have heard, with close variants, again and again. But Government secrecy means we haven’t been able to corroborate it - until now.
