🚨NEW 🚨
🎄Christmas approaching
🚀Infections rocketing
📢Scientists calling for action
😴The PM asleep at the wheel

Have we learned nothing?

Today we launch our campaign to ensure the #Covid inquiry is open, fair & robust so that we can hold this govt to account. Join us
The govt has shown contempt for truth & transparency time and again
▶️ They refused to tell us what science they were following
▶️ They withheld data
▶️ They abused emergency powers
▶️ They gave friends & donors £££s in Covid contracts
▶️ They made rules which they didn't follow
170,000 people have died. More than 1 million are living with chronic illness. It didn't need to be this way.

We're building a coalition of scientists, experts & journalists to ensure that the #Covid public inquiry gives people the answers they deserve
crowdfunder.co.uk/we-demand-answ…
At the start of the pandemic we launched #IndependentSAGE to counter the government’s lack of transparency and to bring clear, transparent scientific advice into the public domain
The govt has said it will announce the ‘terms of reference’ for its public inquiry in the New Year. Independent SAGE & the Citizens have each submitted a list of key issues that need to be addressed
We'll be hosting a Twitter Spaces event at 6pm today to discuss the #Covid public inquiry with @Lobstar_A of @CovidJusticeUK, @dgurdasani1, @sophie_e_hill founder of @My_Little_Crony and @GabrielScally of #IndependentSAGE. Please join us

🚨BREAKING: Private Health meets Big Data:

Babylon Health and Palantir Technologies collaborate on a data platform for digital care, with both companies also having a foothold in the Health Service, @BylineBITE and @allthecitizens can reveal. THREAD. Image
British private “digital-first” healthcare firm Babylon Health, which offers mobile consultations through its ‘GP at Hand’ service within the NHS, has surged in popularity during the pandemic - now with 140,000 registrations in the UK.
forbes.com/sites/daviddaw…
Babylon is reported to “manage” some 350,000 lives in 16 counties, and has signed agreements with several NHS trusts via GP at Hand, effectively integrating a private firm, offering “proactive”, AI-based healthcare with day-to-day running of GP surgeries.

Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice said funerals at that time were allowed fewer people in attendance than there appeared to be in the Downing Street garden, and it was “exhausting” to see the “constant, flagrant disregard we have all been held in”.

BREAKING: Government fined over PM’s Downing St. flat refurb, as Boris Johnson accused of lying to probe into the works.

The Conservative Party have been fined £17,800 by the Electoral Commission after ‘failing to accurately report a donation and keep a proper accounting record’
The Commission found that the government had failed to fully report a donation of £67,801.72 from Huntswood Associates Ltd, in October last year.

Huntswood is owned by Conservative peer, donor and former Conservative Vice Chair #LordBrownlow.

electoralcommission.org.uk/media-centre/c…
The investigation found that on October 19th, #Huntswood transferred £67,801 to the Conservatives, £15,000 of which was to cover an event, and reported in the Q4 2020 submissions, but the remaining £52,801, initially covered by the Cabinet Office, was not.
