Coffey was always averse to assessing impact in DWP too

This is the devastation she has decided does not need more scrutiny. A flagship freeport

This a part of Coffey's track record

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1517540861222998017?s=20

We definitely need ministers to have these powers to make their own mind up about regulations and laws with a lot less scrutiny

More on the #REUL if interested

Calls to scrap the #ECHR are also related. If Human rights are breached by government policy and domestic laws are weaker, it is route of last resort for impacts

This is not just about immigrants

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1538137844174266373?s=20

It is backstop for worker rights and harms that result from more rampant careless profiteering

Here in context of prepayment meter installs. This is not for our sovereignty it is minimising liability

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1623250891649216513?s=20

It is filling the pockets of donors

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1591379296433496064?s=20

So many people say enough now

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1623987674162790400?s=20

Avoiding scrutiny and brewing up civil unrest is not governing

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1613108887900520449?s=20

Illiberal rhetoric emboldening and mainstreaming fringes

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1623615085598875653?s=20

With this kind of fallout now

https://twitter.com/Marsh4LL1/status/1624163418625171469?s=20

The hotel fees a direct result of government operational failures with huge processing backlogs

You excuse incompetence and non-delivery, then conceal the impact and leverage media to back you up to demonise others, this is the upshot across sectors

Truth and transparency are vital

The aversion to scrutiny and the fights against accountability all started with Brexit then escalated

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1604429656698101760?s=20

We so badly need change now

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1602658308019699712?s=20

The video of violent protests were not in Liverpool, it was in Knowsley a way outside the city

https://twitter.com/nazirafzal/status/1624177756090126344?s=20

The good people of Liverpool know how this happens. They stopped the Sun distributing there after Hilsborough reports

https://twitter.com/nazirafzal/status/1624177756090126344?s=20

Perhaps we should learn the same lessons about the press and their government donors?

Media independence is another vital thing h/t @bylinetimes bylinetimes.com/2022/05/11/bun…

@BylineTimes They self-diagnosed this slide

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1609891311603310597?s=20

But don't take my word for it. Ex-Editor of the Sun here with thoughts

https://twitter.com/davidyelland/status/1554526744517951488?s=20

Damascene conversion or the truth so obvious it is undeniable by anyone who is remotely rational?

A third opinion thread here

https://twitter.com/ThatTimWalker/status/1554467054488535041?s=20

Poison the discourse to serve government aims and what you end up with is might being right and the normalisation of violence while people die

https://twitter.com/premnsikka/status/1623628237354967042?s=20

The government were warned against it, by a US pollster who watched his country torn apart

Either the government can't or won't learn due to rebels and a shrinking right wing voter base

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1578325589047459840?s=20

These are current contortions on events in Knowsley. This is what we are reduced to. It is not about sides now, it is about the effective governance of the UK

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1622173951253258242?s=20

But it also sounds very familiar

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1540659703407165441?s=20

Eerily and increasingly familiar

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1586658548980801537?s=20

Sometimes it's utterly ridiculous

The same on our side of the pond

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1611673426233622533?s=20

Other times it is evidence of a deeply concerning slide on our rights and selective policing of symptoms of the same issues

https://twitter.com/MariaWNorris/status/1554760657597251586?s=20

To make you own mind up about events last night. The situational context matters. As do root causes hopenothate.org.uk/2023/02/11/wha…

I put all this together because it is all related. It is clearing decks of rights and protections and lies to build support to do so,

With fears, threats, concealed impacts, inaccurate statistics and discrediting of oversight

This is about scared people and those who exploit that fear. Is the basis for fear proportionate, accurate, and being tackled by our current government in any way that is not worsening it all?

Thread continues here if you didn't hit 'show replies' I know it is too long, but so is the term of this chaotic damaging government

https://twitter.com/TrialByTruth/status/1624374130681253889?s=20

Like Johnson pointed out to PM Brown when he compared him to Gaddafi all those years ago

Absolutely superb interview on @bylinetimes podcast with the Mersey Mayor here. If you want to hear some sense on Levelling Up as fiction and paths to better shows.acast.com/byline-times-p…

One very last one (I promise)

This, in case you didn't guess, is deeply concerned sarcasm /END
