#RishiSunak was at the heart of the #HerdImmunityScandal

Every epidemiologist, virologist & scientist made clear that - without a vaccine - #HerdImmunity was an “outcome” never a “strategy”

On 21/9/20, Sunak & Johnson skipped a crucial SAGE meeting to meet two lockdown sceptics
At the Sept meeting that Sunak skipped, SAGE had advised a circuit-breaker lockdown

Scientists had also warned against #Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme which is closely linked to rise in #COViD19 cases & likely helped trigger a rise in deaths among ethnic minority populations
After #Sunak & Johnson were briefed by the anti-lockdown sceptics, they ignored SAGE’s advice to:

1. introduce a circuit-breaker lockdown

2. close pubs, restaurants & gyms

3. stop households mixing in each other’s homes

4. stop face-to-face teaching at universities & colleges
We know the govt DIDN’T “get the big calls right” & DIDN’T “stick to the science like glue”

#HerdImmunity wasn’t science

#BehaviouralFatigue wasn’t science

They knew about asymptomatic spread in January 2020

These weren’t “mistakes”

So why did they do it?

“They cover up crime with scandal & cover up malice with incompetence. They want to project an image of being inept, instead of as having a cruel & well-defined plan” @sarahkendzior

In 2020, #TakeItOnTheChin led me to #HerdImmunityScandal, #CareHomeScandal, #DataGrabScandal+++👇

She says she will stay for a week until the next PM elected, presumably by MPs.

What chaos!

“Actually, if this was a relationship, I think at this point Britain’s friends would be sitting down with it & saying:

‘Look honey, you’ve been through four Prime Ministers in six years. They can’t all be the problem’” @Trevornoah on @TheDailyShow

1/. In Turkey, parliament will today vote on a bill that could further muzzle free expression & journalism

The “deliberate” publishing of “disinformation & fake news” could be punished with 3 years in jail

Definitions of both are deliberately vague

They must reject this law Image
2/. Turkey’s 'disinformation law' will strike a further blow to media freedom

It will enable the state to further censor & silence critical voices ahead of #Turkey’s upcoming elections and beyond, under the guise of fighting 'fake news' & 'disinformation'
balkaninsight.com/2022/05/31/tur…
3/. #BREAKING: According to reports, #Turkey’s parliament has approved the first two articles in the anti-disinformation law that could be used to suppress critical journalism & online free speech

@amnesty reaction coming soon

1/. “In the centre of the swirling madness of London traffic there is a sort of sanctuary, a green oasis that his intrigued & aroused the curiosity of Londoners & visitors alike”

Clip from The Queen’s Garden (1977) by James Hill & @willtravers dad, Bill.
2/. On Thursday we’ll unveil our proposal that’s been in a decade in the pipeline

Originally devised to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday in 2016, the idea is to use a sliver of #BuckinghamPalace Gdns to create a new park: the #QueenElizabethMemorialGardens

DM me for a press pack Image
3/. As this period of national mourning comes to an end, our thoughts turn to how we will mark the #Queen’s memory

We hope that the #QueenElizabethMomorialGardens might provide both a living legacy to #QueenElizabethII & as well a welcome new green space in a central London ImageImageImageImage

1/. “We know fascism is possible because it happened before”

On Sunday, #Italy looks set to elect a right-wing coalition led by the far-right Brothers of Italy (#FratellidItalia)

Giorgia Melloni, may become Italy’s first far-right leader since Mussolini
reuters.com/world/europe/r…
2/. “After our victory, you can raise your heads & finally say what you always believed” #GiorgiaMeloni

Italy has seen ‘a revisionism of fascism’, fuelled by talkshows & newspapers

Some say that if Mussolini were to return, Italians would re-elect him
3/. “I think Mussolini was a good politician. Everything he did, he did it for Italy. There haven’t been politicians like him in the last 50 years”

Georgia Meloni speaking in 1996 as a 19 year-old far-right activist

1/. Not ready for the summer to end?

Want to have one more #Pride2022?

Well you could head off to Serbia for #EuroPride2022 this Saturday...although shamefully, the Serbian authorities have decided to BAN IT!

Why? Because or purported security risks! amnesty.eu/news/serbia-au…
2/. According to Serbian authorities, there is a "danger of violence, destruction of property, & other forms of disruption of public order"

In reality, the only disruption #EuroPride2022
might face is violence against LGBTI people at the hands of far-right groups #Pride2022 Image
3/. “The decision by Serbian authorities to ban #EuroPride2022 is shameful. Instead of giving in to hateful rhetoric towards & threats against LGBTI people, authorities must take all necessary measures to protect #Pride participants.” @evegeddie @amnesty

1/. In 2012, @trussliz jointly co-authored #BritanniaUnchained with Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Kwasi Kwarteng & Chris Skidmore

I read it so you don’t have to!

The most famous passage in the book is where it accuses British workers of being “among the worst idlers in the world”
2/. #BritanniaUnchained is a very badly written, weakly argued libertarian blueprint for unrestrained deregulation & rampant free-marketism

In 2019, amid the detritus in @BorisJohnson's car, journalists spotted a copy & the authors have made up the spine of Johnson’s Cabinets.
3/. “It’s more fun to be a pirate than join the navy”

Perhaps one of the scariest passages is in Chapter 5, ‘Buccaneers”

“Clearly, law & order, intellectual property rights exist for a reason....but”

It is reminiscent of this “ask forgiveness not permission” from Peter Thiel👇
