NEW: 🚨@Femi_Sorry fact checks #PMQs. This week, a numbers special..!

➡️ How many qs did Johnson refuse to answer on his Covid Xmas party?

➡️ How many hospitals is Boris Johnson falsely claiming to ‘build’ this year?

➡️ And how many international laws has he pledged to break?
This is how the story of the alleged 'who cares about the very rules we are imposing on everyone else" 2020 Christmas party broke
"Grieving relatives of Covid victims told of their fury at claims Boris Johnson and his staff attended boozy parties as the rest of the nation was in the grip of restrictions".

The PM failed three times to deny the events
dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
A reminder of the rules imposed by the Cabinet Office to the rest of England for the Christmas festivities last year.
Look at the timestamp: 29 Nov 2020.

But we remember them well, don't we?
Infuriating.
Heartbreaking.
And what about another big fluffy promise?
"Unachievable", according to the experts.

Oh, wait!
"The people of this country have had enough of experts", Michael Gove once said.

We are in trouble, @allthecitizens

BUT.
"Boris Johnson denies hospitals plan labelled unachievable".

Isn't this becoming grotesque?
theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
And no, under International Laws no government is allowed to 'push back' migrants.

Not only it is illegal. It is also a national disgrace.

Because migrants are people in need, not damaged packages.

🚨Tory-linked firm denied involvement of Baroness who referred them to VIP lane

Company awarded contracts through the VIP procurement lane denied that Baroness Mone, whose husband owns a firm registered at the same address, had any involvement in the awarding of contracts.
But information obtained by the Good Law Project has revealed that Baroness Mone referred the company to the VIP lane process, leading to them being awarded contracts worth £202,850,000. Hospital gowns bought by PPE Medpro turned out to be unusable.
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-552755…
In an email exchange on 7 July, 2021, Anthony Page, PPE Medpro director, stated that “You should be aware that Baroness Mone is neither an investor, director or in any way associated with PPE Medpro.”

This would be a game-changer.

"Private firms working for UK government ‘should be subject to FOI rules’

This is exactly why, with our partner @foxglove and your support, we are challenging the government for their use of disappearing messages in handling public affairs.

Cabinet will now have to answer for its shambolic WhatsApp policies in court.

@Foxglove Last October, we obtained a first victory: the High Court gave us formal permission to proceed to a full judicial review of 'government by Whatsapp

NEW:🚨@Femi_Sorry fact-checks Boris Johnson’s social care reform plans.

Quiz time! How many minutes into this week’s PMQs did it take Boris Johnson to tell his first lie?

➡️ a) 10.5 minutes
➡️ b) 1.5 minutes?
Or
➡️ c) 1.5 seconds?
Trick question. We regret to inform you that Boris Johnson actually told *2* lies in the first 1.5 seconds..
If you want a reminder of what he said last year, here’s @AdamBienkov with Boris Johnson spelling out in Boris Johnson’s own words exactly what those promises were (that he’s now broken)

🚨BREAKING:

Companies in the Government’s ‘VIP’ lane for the supply of PPE see £100 million boost in profits

The 9 companies in the list declare a cumulative profit increase from £8.5m to £109m, an investigation by @BylineBITE and @allthecitizens finds.

THREAD: Image
Under legal pressure, the Government last week released the 50 firms that won contracts through a special procurement process during the pandemic. The companies featured in the VIP lane were 10 times more likely to win Government contracts than other firms
The evidence suggests that the VIP lane was used internally by the Government to sort and prioritise potential suppliers; many of the companies were unaware that they were being processed through an expedited route.
