1/History is being made. But not the way you think...

@UKLabour & @Keir_Starmer have committed to supporting the Public Office (Accountability) Bill 2025; also known as the Hillsborough Law.

This will change democracy forever. 🧵 Image 2/ The Bill was born out of the extraordinary courage of Margaret Aspinall, and fellow campaigners, who fought relentlessly for over three decades after losing their loved ones at Hillsborough.

Their fight has already changed Britain. This law will be their legacy. I love this bill and their work.Image

 You can't buy this kind of free advertising for a documentary film. It's a first time director's dream.

The personal attacks are false and potentially damaging of course, but it is the Mail. We'll deal with that later.

As for now, I have some questions for you: Image 2/5
 Given how much free advertising this front page story is going to give our film, how much of a mistake was it for Boris Johnson's supporters at the Mail On Sunday to cover it like this? Your response options are of course in the theme of the story at hand.

EXCLUSIVE: Last year I tweeted my story that @BorisJohnson had faked nearly dying of Covid-19, otherwise known as the #Deathgate scandal.

But now, after a 3 year investigation, we have discovered it was MUCH WORSE than that.

GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE: Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled the public about the severity of his Covid-19 condition.

Now that we have all had a chance to process #Partygate it is time to reveal what I'm calling #Deathgate.

We request that you do not write replies to this thread until you have first carefully engaged with ALL the information & polls below which cover a complex investigation over two years.

IMPORTANT: St Thomas’s Hospital and their excellent NHS staff are NOT to blame.

 Disgusted by @BorisJohnson’s changes to the Ministerial Code?

A lot of people ask me why I prosecuted Johnson for misconduct in public office in 2019, a criminal offence with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

I’ll tell you why: 2.
 By 2016 I had worked out what Boris Johnson was. I learnt how he operated.

Anyone who could lie so much to the people he was elected to serve was clearly an abuser of public trust and a threat to our country.

I knew that lying in politics had to be stopped.

Dear backers,

Shortly after our prosecution case against Boris Johnson was shut down I posted a video explaining that I suspected something had happened behind the scenes.

Some weeks ago I discovered what that was.

I will be going fully public with it after the election. 2.
I do believe that the public have a right to know what happened on our case before the election because it is a matter of public interest. However, I might be accused of attempting to use our case for a political objective. This could damage our case and I cannot allow that.

#BorisJohnson has been accused of lying about claims concerning #Turkey during the #Referendum. My legal team and I are prosecuting @BorisJohnson for the alleged offence of misconduct in public office, in connection with claims he made that the UK 'sends' £350 million to the EU. 2. Mr Johnson is innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law. Please do not comment upon Mr Johnson's innocence or guilt once the case has been initiated with the courts in the coming weeks.
