1: Good Law Project has successfully forced the Government to reveal the names of the 47 companies in the PPE VIP lane.

The Information Commissioner has ordered Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) to disclose the names of these 47 companies to us within 35 calendar days.
2: The Information Commissioner wrote in her decision earlier today:

3: Information Commissioner:
@GoodLawProject
“The DHSC has not disclosed the requested information, nor advised the Commissioner that it considers it is otherwise exempt by virtue of another exemption. The DHSC has therefore failed to comply with its obligations under FOIA.”
4: The Information Commissioner also warned that “failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court”.
5: The Immensa scandal – in which the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) found at least 43,000 people may have wrongly been given a negative Covid test result –…

6: …is a powerful further reminder of the harm that can result to public health from opaque contracting arrangements with unsuitable counterparties.

7: As soon as the company names are shared with us, we will publish them.
Good Law Project will continue working to expose the staggering waste – and sleaze – of the £12.5bn PPE VIP bonanza.
Thank you, 
Jo Maugham - Good Law Project

Sir David Amess: Long serving Conservative MP stabbed to death

For the second time in little more than five years a British lawmaker has been murdered - just for doing the job they loved, serving the public.

A terrible tragedy for Sir David’s family.

1/ An example of disgusting sycophancy from the slavish Johnson Pravda

Two damning reports on the pandemic described as ‘a commendable exercise in self-flagellation’

In a nutshell any excuse, anyone but Johnson, everyone else to blame

Sound familiar?🤬

2/ Dutch PM blamed for UK herd immunity policy

Here’s Sir Patrick Vallance stating 60% of the population needed to be infected to achieve herd immunity.

Shocked interviewer: ‘half to 1% fatality - that’s an awful lot of people dying in this country’.

The Pandora Papers.

1/ The Ben Elliot model for the Tory party is based on his business.

Quintessentially it is a concierge service for rich people who want introductions and invitations at the top level of society.

The Tory party in a nutshell.
2/Mohamed Amersi, Tory co-chair, looms large in the Pandora papers.

Amersi has deliciously called the system “access capitalism”, a term that deserves to find its way into a dictionary of quotations.

You buy your way in.

Forget elections. Forget democracy.

The Conservatives.
3/ Now Pandora’s box has been well & truly opened.

Boris Johnson, the big winner from this rotten financial system, needs to explain to British voters why the Conservative Party appears to be funded by a new class of super-rich tax avoiders.

And tell us what they get in return.

Disability Benefits.

1/ Whilst everyone is focused on the Tory £20 Universal Credit Cut, unmentioned & under the radar & possibly crueller is this Tory Government’s continuing attack on the sick & disabled.
So much for a promise.

2/ Johnson’s Govt had claimed that disability benefit recipients would be no worse off on UC.

2 severely disabled men shortchanged by about £180 a month when forced to move to the benefit are having to launch a high court challenge - for the 3rd time🤦‍♀️
3/ Both severely disabled men have already won two high court verdicts & one court of appeal verdict ruling that the cuts were unlawful & that they were entitled to compensation

They were forced to transfer to UC when moving to a local authority area where UC had been rolled out

1/Labour shortages. Epic labour shortages - but it’s not Brexit🤦‍♀️

Care Homes
Farming
Haulage
Hospitality
Logistics
NHS
Retail
Vets

The new Brexiteer excuse - labour shortages are good🤦‍♀️ & now -

A Tory MP has said it would be good if supermarket supply chains collapsed🤦‍♀️
Tory MP Chris Loder infuriates consumers by suggesting it would be good for supermarket supply chains to crumble

- this despite already empty shelves & PM warning problems could run until Xmas

Odds on @BorisJohnson will have a turkey on his dinner table

3/ Project Fear is Project Here

Johnson admits that he was warned about the looming crisis months ago

Tory MPs don’t worry about whether to eat or heat - or empty supermarket shelves

So why would they worry about you

Wake up Britain - wake up now!
