@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@13sarahmurphy @Jesse_Norman @Channel4News "Sensible planning has been replaced by EMPTY RHETORIC.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."
@13sarahmurphy @Jesse_Norman @Channel4News "WORSE STILL: you are apparently trying to import elements of a PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF GOVT that is entirely foreign to our constitution & law."🔥😱
@HLConstitution @ConUnit_UCL @CommonsPACAC @Channel4News @JMPSimor @clm_cambridge @cambridgelaw @GeorgePeretzQC @davidallengreen
@13sarahmurphy @Jesse_Norman @Channel4News @HLConstitution @ConUnit_UCL @CommonsPACAC @JMPSimor @clm_cambridge @cambridgelaw @GeorgePeretzQC @davidallengreen "BUT YOU ARE NOT A PRESIDENT, you have no mandate other than as an MP, & from the congidence of your collegues. ATTEMPTS TO CENTRALISE POWER IN 10 DOWNING ST...
@13sarahmurphy @Jesse_Norman @Channel4News @HLConstitution @ConUnit_UCL @CommonsPACAC @JMPSimor @clm_cambridge @cambridgelaw @GeorgePeretzQC @davidallengreen In my judgement, all these things are at odds with a DECENT. PROPER conservatism: with effective teamwork, careful reform, a sense of INTEGRITY, RESPECT for the #RuleOfLaw & a long-term focus on the PUBLIC GOOD."🔥😱 @LordCFalconer @GeorgePeretzQC @BestForBritain @RhonddaBryant

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.

GREAT SPEECH Lord Newby 25/2/22 #russianinvasion #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?"👏
"Hear, hear!" response in @HouseofCommons!
BUT Patel "We will NOT be reconsidering the #NationalityAndBordersBill"😩
Patel refers @allandoransMP to "Amendments we will be tabling to deal with countries such as Russia & the actions of President Putin"🤔 #UkrainianRefugees
@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'😲
2. Ignore rational EXPERTS: infantalize language eg simple slogans & post-truth politics! #LiarJohnson
3. Immorality #ToriesDevoidOfShame eg #ToriesPartiedWhilePeopleDied
4. Dismantle political/judicial mechanisms eg #RuleOfLaw
Install your own people & toy with institutions!🔥
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!

RE "PM's plans to end self-isolation rules for people with #Covid in the coming weeks"
@sophieraworth "It sounds as if it ALARMS you?"
@mvankerkhove "It does!"
@bbcsml
☡"WE NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS" [@mvankerkhove of @WHO]
"We're NOT out of the woods yet!
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,
BA.3❗
AND 30 sublineages of #Delta we're tracking worldwide❗
The virus is still evolving❗
Virus is NOT behaving like a seasonal respiratory virus❗
It will thrive in any climate❗
