@13sarahmurphy@Jesse_Norman is husband of Kate Bingham has no confidence in #Johnson's leadership or policies! 1. "You have presided over a culture of casual law-breaking in 10 Downing St in relation to #Covid."
"To describe yourself as vindicated is GROTESQUE."
@13sarahmurphy@Jesse_Norman 2. "in the Queen's Speech & elsewhere, your current policies are DEEPLY QUESTIONABLE.
Breach of the #NIProtocol wd be ECONOMICALLY VERY DAMAGING,
POLITICALLY FOOLHARDY
& almost certainly ILLEGAL."
@13sarahmurphy@Jesse_Norman "#Rwanda policy is UGLY, likely counterproductive & of DOUBTFUL LEGALITY.
Privatisation of @Channel4News is UNNECESSARY & PROVOCATIVE..at significant cost to INDEPENDENT UK film & TV industry"
"NO genuinely Conservative govt should have supported the recent ban on noisy protest"!
@13sarahmurphy@Jesse_Norman@Channel4News 3."the Govt seems to lack a sense of mission. It has a large majority, but NO LONG TERM PLAN...NO SIGN, eg, that it has even begun to get a grips with the need for greater security & resilience in a range of policy areas."
@13sarahmurphy@Jesse_Norman@Channel4News "simply seeking to campaign, to keep changing the subject & to create POLITICAL & CULTURAL DIVIDING LINES mainly for your advantage, at a time when the evonomy is struggling, inflation is soaring & GROWTH ANAEMIC at best."🧐🔥
@13sarahmurphy@Jesse_Norman@Channel4News "Sensible planning has been replaced by EMPTY RHETORIC. As a former Energy Minister..eg ZERO CHANCE that this or any hovt will be able to build a nuclear power station a year at any point in the next decade."
OMG @IoWBobSeely = IMPORTANT speech atm on: #SLAPP & eg major legal firms don't do "know your client checks" as know "inherently corrupt"😱
"I note some oligarchs are distancing themselves from President Putin: (names 3!!)..I'm sorry I do not buy it!" @carolecadwalla@peterjukes
Go back to Ukraine
"Firtash, now wanted by the Americans was set up by #Gazprom & by Putin, he was given sweetheart deals, so to import vast amounts of cheap energy into Ukraine. The vast profits he was able to garner from those sweetheart deals gave him a good life, but..
..but much more importantly he funnelled that money to buy up chunks of East Ukrainian industry, effectively as a front for the FSB(?) the former KGB, but also critically to purchase politicians & to fund the pro-Russian political parties in Eastern Ukraine.
"Ony 6 mths ago we were describing the chaotic retreat from #Afghanistan as the biggest failure of western foreign policy for decades.."
4 PTS
1."We are not a global military power, despite the Govt's hubristic rhetoric"!
"The pivot to the east was a MAJOR STRATEGIC MISTAKE & should be reversed..." 2. "our most important security and economic relationships are with Europe. Windy talk of GLOBAL BRITAIN CUTS NO ICE when the Russians can seize a friendly European democracy." 😢 #RussianWar #Ukraine
3. "we need to strengthen global structures & programmes which promote our values. With #Russia & #China on the Security Council, this is not going to be easy, but we should at the very least do what we can within our own powers & resources to begin to address this..."
WOW @allandoransMP
"Will the Home Sec listen to the 50 organisations inc Save The Children & @amnesty who wrote a joint letter in @thetimes last wk calling for..a rethink on #NationalityAndBordersBill which discriminates against refugees depending on how they reach our shores?"👏
@YvetteCooperMP Qs Patel's "bespoke humanitarian route" "extremely unclear..on details & who it will apply to?
Ukranian ppl are showing great bravery, but we know mothers & young children, elderly patents who have left to find sanctuary, the UK has always done its bit to help..
7 STEPS FROM DEMOCRACY TO DICTATORSHIP
"Democracy doesn't disappear over night. RW populism doesn't goose-step into power fully formed, it CREEPS!"
7 SIGNS 1. Create a populist nationalist MOVEMENT #Brexit
Target the 'left behind'
Erdogan called it 'the will of the REAL people'😲
5. Design your own Citizen! #JohnsonRegime eg Heaton-Harris dictating how academics lecture on #Brexit & Education Sec says students can't criticise PM!
(Erdogan now arrests critics!)
6. Laugh at the Horror! Inhumane cruelty RE refugees, Afghanistan, kids in poverty! #PartyGate!

We need to exit this gracefully, carefully & slowly.
This virus is moving to an endemic state, but can't reach an endemic state in one country, while the pandemic is thriving elsewhere"🔥
WE ARE WORRIED about NEXT VARIANT❗
We're tracking descendant sublineages of #Omicron BA.1, BA.2,
