Tory donor made life peer and appointed as government minister theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
"Offord was a candidate for the Conservatives in May’s Scottish parliamentary election, a decision that prompted accusations of cronyism given that he had donated £147,500 to the party. Offord stood as a list candidate in the Lothian region, but was not elected".
.@allthecitizens have been digging into Tory donors quite a lot 👇👇👇
and our @McCoolingtons even made a great TikTok out of it! (no dog was harmed in the making)

🚨EXCLUSIVE:

Entrepreneur Rachel Elnaugh, who found fame on BBC’s Dragons Den, has used her platform to spread anti-vaxx conspiracy theories and to threaten Chief Medical Officer Chris Witty, is part of a wider overlap between the wellness community and conspiracies. THREAD:
She tweeted “Whitty will hang for this” responding to a story about giving children the vaccine. After the tweet was removed, she took to YouTube and Telegram, saying “Whitty must be at the point where he knows he’s going to hang, so in for a penny, in for a pound, right?”
Her tweets and biography suggest that her anti-vaxx views align with a larger, strange marriage of wellness, alternative medicine, and the far-right movement, and Elnaugh herself is an outspoken commentator on the baseless ‘Great Reset’ conspiracy theory.

Honestly @DominicRaab, if you’re going to spin *exactly the same lie* about the G7 as Johnson did, don’t do it while @Femi_Sorry is watching.

It’s another brutal fact check for @allthecitizens by the great @Femi_Sorry
@DominicRaab @Femi_Sorry As hinted by @Femi_Sorry, the Road Haulage Association is calling for action as "the shortage of HGV drivers in the UK is at crisis point, and we’re urging you to use this quick tool to write directly to your MP to raise the issue".

Did you see Boris Johnson at today’s PMQs? Well, here he is again, this time with added FACTS.
