Let me tell you my own #jeremyhunt story... We were at a tory fundraiser. I'd written a piece that day about childcare dilemmas. He told me, "move out here to the country. You can get a big house, move in a nanny, maybe her husband too for gardening, driving & stuff...
And you pay them virtually nothing, because you give them lodgings. It's the perfect solution!"
Then we were ushered into the dining hall where my table told me" isn't he wonderful? He'll be pm one day." And I thought, 'God help us!'
He was wrong & also stupid to misjudge me.
I don't normally relay private conversations. But this is too important. We are at a time in history where the big decisions need to be taken by people with the strongest moral compasses.
It's not right v left.
It's right v wrong.
And Hunt is a proper wrong 'un.
And it tells you how comfortable he is in a world of those who have and those who have not. Those with power and those in need of crumbs from the tables of those with power. The landed and the utterly beholden - not social mobility.
Sound familiar with what we face right now?🤔

1/4 I would never normally take satisfaction in someone's media failure. It can happen to any of us. But the abject disaster of @PiersMorganLive
on the formerly superb radio station @TalkTV is simply marvellous because it means that his divisive...
theguardian.com/media/2022/may…
authoritarian bullshit is no longer being swallowed by the masses... They have seen through him. His 'popularity' lay in him being on @ITV at a time when people flick on the TV eating cornflakes. Nothing more.
As people struggle to pay bills because we ground the country to a halt under the noisy rabble-rousing of men like Morgan, I'm heartbroken & furious. I know many of you could see this coming! It was never going to affect him. But my conscience is clear.

On @JeremyVineOn5 in spring 2020 I warned that the elderly were being taken back to care homes with covid symptoms. I was told by iain dale that I should be "ashamed of myself" for saying that.
@theJeremyVine shook his head and told me witheringly "there is no evidence of that." I was made to feel that I had uttered something despicable. But I had spoken to care home owners, not just read the papers
Everything I ever said on these programmes was to inform and help REAL people in the REAL world. And I was treated like a pariah. It was obvious that the elderly were being neglected. Its vindicating but depressing that this 2 YEAR (!) Judicial review confirms my statement.

Result from today @ Royal courts of justice and Justice Swift : @ONS admit increase in deaths in 15-19 Yr old males since vaccination but refuse to reveal the details and the judge supported this. NOBODY is looking at this data with your children in mind.
This seems impossible. But it is true.
May-Dec, 2020: 257 deaths in this age boys.
May-Dec, 2021: 402 deaths.
(btw, 2 deaths to covid).

And NOBODY is looking into why.

Today was a fact - finding mission as we proceed with our Judicial review. It's another example of
... censorship designed to prevent fully informed consent for parents and teens. Those numbers could be a lot higher.
@sajidjavid JCVI & MHRA MUST look at these numbers NOW!
Judge accepted that @sajidjavid should have taken these figures into account.
Next step... We are still

This is so sad. When I debated with @DrNighatArif on This Morning this week, WE could all see that she didn't know any of the real data around harms in Pfizer's own trial. She has a vulnerable child so allows that fear to selfishly cloud her judgement.
She simply CANNOT KNOW the long term effects on the healthy young body of mrna spike proteins in 2,5,10 years... There is no 'emergency' from which kids need saving. Pointless, political lockdown disrupt education, not covid. Kids take all the risk with none of the adult benefits
Do not buy into your this just because a "GP tells you to". There are thousands of GPs who disagree. She is quite simply not sufficiently informed or impartial.

In order to jab more kids (those drugs cost £40 a dose, they need to shift them) we're going to start hearing about #longcovid. So let's look at some facts instead of simply shaking with fear at the mere mention of such a terror! 😱
The biggest study via King's college Zoe App followed more than 250,000 5-17 year olds.
ONLY 1.8% had symptoms lasting longer than 8 weeks.
So 98.2% did not.
Ages 5-11 =average 5 days ill.
Ages 12-17=average 7 days ill.
Sore throat, headache, tired, loss of smell. No drama.
Those who were ill and tired for longer were older teens (funny that)
And this study below: 1500 kids, some with 'LC' But their scores for LC /depression are identical in both groups: in other words
they don’t have long Covid, they are depressed!

The High Court ruled yesterday that no child can be forced to wear a mask at school. It is entirely their choice. Why isn't this front page news? And I wonder how many teachers- who routinely teach 'informed consent' - will make this announcement in classes today? 🤔
I wish to clarify this. I contacted the lawyers in charge when I realised that this outcome is being depicted in different ways.
The child didn’t have an exemption from masks, but the school admitted that they wouldn't force her to wear one, hence no injunction for 'her safety'
By removing her mask she wasn't inhaling fibres so that couldn't be held up. By all accounts, she's a tough cookie and they couldn't thus claim that she was at risk of "serious imminent harm" emotionally. But that doesn't mean other kids aren't. The case was about this child only
