1: It’s crystal clear now what the CONservatives think about having a Prime Minister who’s made lies, incompetence & corruption the hallmarks of his administration

It’s also clear that the majority of Tory MPs care more for their own seats than the views & welfare of the people
2: Tory MPs have made it crystal clear that they’re ok with a man that allows
.
• water companies to pump raw sewage into our waters.

• pensioners having to ride the bus to keep warm, & eating only one meal a day.
3: Tory MPs have made it crystal clear they’re happy with a man:

• who allowed Number 10 to operate as some kind of Club 18-30 holiday resort while the rest of us obeyed the law.

• who lies as easily as he breathes.
4: Tory MPs have made it crystal clear they’re happy with a man:

• who doled out vast sums of our money to his friends in dodgy PPE contracts.

• who appointed the son of a KGB agent to the House of Lords against Security Service advice.
5: Tory MPs have made it crystal clear they’re happy with a man:

• whose Brexit lies have led to the closure of businesses, destruction of livelihoods & removal of life opportunities for our young people
6: We know what the Tory Party’s overriding priorities are:

• not helping the vulnerable in our society to heat their homes & feed their families.

• not supporting our overstretched NHS staff, the real heroes of the vaccine rollout.
7: We know what the Tory Party’s overriding priorities are:

• not reining-in the energy companies who by their own admission are making record profits when their customers struggle to make ends meet.
8: The CONservative Party’s priorities

Nadine Dorries helpfully pointed out during a TV interview with Sky’s Beth Rigby, it’s keeping Tory Party donors happy. So, now we also know who’s really running this country⬇️
9: Open Britain are NOT ok with any of that. Neither will it surprise you to know that we intend to step-up our #StopTheRot campaign against this corrupt and chaotic authoritarianism.

Another Govt dept, more authoritarian powers - Patel to the police & now @theresecoffey to DWP officers
benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/dwp-to-ge…
2: The Chancellor has since announced help for pensioners, disabled, sick & vulnerable, but the threat of new DWP legislation still exists

- powers to arrest claimants, search premises, seize evidence & fine people where there’s not enough evidence to bring a criminal fraud case
3: The new measures, many of which will not be possible to introduce without an act of parliament, are aimed primarily at cutting fraud in UC.

@letshavealook21 @Councillorsuzie Johnson’s record as mayor has proved incredibly detrimental to London’s transport system

As mayor, @BorisJohnson failed to defend London’s transport subsidy - allowing Osborne to strip the support grant to the capital’s transport system by £700 million pa
huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/11/12/osb…
@letshavealook21 @Councillorsuzie @BorisJohnson The pandemic decimated TfL’s income, tube & bus travel plummeted taking TfL to the edge of bankruptcy.

But what did Johnson’s Government do? - cynically played political football with the capital’s transport system with a series of short term deals.

researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CDP-…
@letshavealook21 @Councillorsuzie @BorisJohnson The UK, London it’s capital city, a Tory Treasury reluctant to provide emergency help to its network devastated by the pandemic.

Remember, @BorisJohnson Govt was prepared to put Londoner’s livelihoods at risk to cynically score petty political points.

@GoodLawProject 2nd May 2021

We’re Back In Court

1: Tomorrow our challenge over the Government’s shambolic award of lucrative public health contracts to Abingdon Health reaches the High Court for a three-day hearing.
Like so many of the contracts we’ve uncovered, these were awarded secretly, without any -

• advertisement or competition
• lawful decision-making process

In the course of this challenge, we’ve uncovered a secret VIP lane for testing contracts, just as we did for PPE contracts
3: When we first put these allegations to Ministers, they tried to say our claims were “completely false”, but internal emails between Department for Health civil servants revealed they did have a “VIP route” for those lucky enough to have ministerial sponsors.

@IsabelOakeshott 1: Here’s hoping your friend doesn’t have a serious condition - but if unfortunately so, the lump turns out to be cancerous, will treatment be had at the same private hospital or referred back to an NHS hospital?
@IsabelOakeshott 2: Treating serious health conditions privately, at a private hospital they might not have the facilities, or at an NHS hospital as a private patient could be prohibitively expensive.

Choice is fine for some but for the vast majority it’s not available or simply not an option.
@IsabelOakeshott 3: Whether it’s the most serious of health conditions or one requiring outpatient treatment, unlike the American health system, people do not have to worry about whether they can afford to have treatment.

@tomhunt1988 1: No one would disagree with the need to stop the suffering of the Channel refugees

It’s Easter, the British public are showing incredible generosity towards Ukrainian refugees - the terrible optics

This inhumane scheme faces criticism from all quarters
theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/a…
@tomhunt1988 2: Permanent secretary, Matthew Rycroft, has advised the Home Secretary:

"evidence of a deterrent effect is highly uncertain" & there’s insufficient certainty" over value for money.

It seems unlikely that the Rwanda scheme will stop Channel crossings.
