🚨 NEW: Femi Fact Checks #PMQs 🚨

We'll have to wait a bit longer for the results of #SueGray & #metpolice inquiries, but in the meantime, here's @Femi_Sorry's verdict on Boris Johnson's latest #PMQs performance

'His relationship with the truth is starting to look desperate'
@Femi_Sorry The PM has dismissed claims that the government prioritised animals over people as "complete nonsense". But emails released by the Foreign Affairs Select Committee suggest he did personally authorise rescue efforts for pets and animals.

Boris Johnson's brags about the Tory party 'being the party of hope and opportunity irrespective of race'.

Here's the United Nations condemning the Uk Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities Report for trying to normalise white supremacy.

Let alone the rampant racism even within Tory ranks
IF the government really wanted to prioritise the Covid backlog, it would not ease restrictions at a time of high Covid mortality.
Easing restrictions risks leading to more cases than our #NHS can cope with.
The gov is now claiming the NI Protocol does not work.

Yet upon signing it in Oct 2019, #BorisJohnson stated: "Our agreement ensures unfettered market access for goods moving from Northern Ireland to the rest of the United Kingdom’s internal market".

Here's Boris Johnson's full statement to the House of Commons on 19 Oct 2019.

🚨POLL ALERT!

🎤 Do you think the Sue Gray's report should be published in full?

1) NO. A non-redacted version could harm the ongoing Met investigation

2) YES. The public should know the details no matter what
Just in case you need evidence that the #partygate ever happened, before it gets buried in some dusty shelf at the #Met for the foreseeable future and disappears from memory, we have kept the receipts for you @receiptkeepers

100,000 Russian troops have amassed at Ukraine’s border, as NATO allies discuss responding with troop deployments.

Russia issued demands for NATO not to expand the alliance, and to deny Ukraine NATO membership. This was rejected by both NATO and the US.
RU State TV claims NATO / Ukraine as the aggressors, aligning with Kremlin rhetoric.

Dennis Volkov, of Moscow-based pollster Levda, said of the situation “it’s important (for the Kremlin) that it continues to look like the West is inflaming the situation”

While, as of yet, no further decision in response has been issued by Putin, State TV is downplaying Russian involvement at the border. Information warfare is how autocrats like Putin influence and undermine democracies.

And it works!
