🚨🚨Emails from Dom Cummings to advisors in 03/20 published by Covid inquiry:
Cummings: “Number reporting seems a shitshow”
Response; “Part of the problem….the boss letting MH et al get away with throwing him a random graph with subtly different numbers none of us have seen”
🔴Worth remembering that @citizenlab@RonDeibert previously reported in April 2022 that both the Prime Minister’s office and the FCDO were suspected of being hacked by Pegasus spyware previously in 2020 and 2021 ⬇️
🔴FOI: Downing street is refusing to confirm if it holds any WhatsApp messages between the PM and Mohammed Bin Salman.
Its also refusing to release any of the messages via FOI.
Add this response to the ever expanding list of concerns regarding the PM's comms.
🧵
🔴Last month following @GoodLawProject legal challenge regarding Minister's persistent use of private comms. It was revealed that none of the Prime Minister’s phone messages prior to April 2021 can be searched
Something really is wrong with the @DHSCgovuk record on Ministerial transparency!
A short thread:
The former Health Secretary held a meeting on 17 March 2020 with a testing company Thriva.
However there is no sign of this meeting in the @DHSCgovuk transparency data.
Thriva went on to secure £185m in covid testing contracts.
The @DHSCgovuk published ministerial meeting data covering this period suggests Matt Hancock didn't have any external meetings from the 03 Feb 2020 to 18 March 2020.
Seem's strange. This was an important 6 weeks leading up to the first national lockdown!
