  1. “Too late, he saw the signs. Hubert grasped the lapels of his jacket, as if addressing a meeting, and swelled with the urge to communicate, or at least talk at length in the belief that it was the same thing.”

  2. John Prescott, the ICC Israel verdict, the Ingram-Moore's theft, the apparent ICBM on Dnipro.

    I bet Matt Hancock is very happy they happened today as he appears at the Covid Inquiry.

  3. So this guy fucks up, thousands die and he gets away with nothing more than being fired and some harsh language, yet some people plot to stop traffic in protest of inaction on Climate Change and they get five years.

    Could this be any more blatant?

  4. Matty Wanksock going to go on another Reality TV show and try to win us over with his charm?

    Lucky for him the people he's aggrieved aren't the violent sort...mostly..

  5. CW: allusions to death & Tories

    "You don't care if the old ones die
    They're only "dead wood", piling up high
    Callous and careless in what you supplied
    So-called protection with the virus inside"

  6. CW: Covid Inquiry

    The big problem with the #CovidInquiry is that no matter how appallingly it finds that government ministers acted, you just know that absolutely no politician will face any consequences whatsoever for all the deaths they caused.

  7. It’s was partly that Matt, but mostly it was the law breaking parties, the utter incompetence, the dodgy PPE deal (like the one you made with your pub landlord)and all those people you killed.

  8. #MattHancock foresaw the failure of the October 2020 #COVID tier system, admitting in a witness statement that he was in despair over implementing a policy he knew wouldn’t work.

  9. It was obvious that #Covid was disproportionately affecting people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds “at an early stage” of the pandemic, mayor of #London Sadiq Khan has said.

    Giving evidence at the UK Covid inquiry, Khan said the disparity was “clear from a number of metrics”.

    “If you see the photographs of the first ten doctors who lost their lives,” he said, “the thing that strikes you is they’re all people of colour."

  10. One of the key things to emerge from the #CovidInquiry this week has been the problem of #MattHancock.

    In a parallel to Cassandra, his reputation for exaggeration & publicity seeking, led his (as it turned out, accurate) concerns about #Covid in January 2020 to be dismissed as yet more exaggeration & hysteria by #BorisJohnson's staff....

    On one level this is a strange defence of Hancock, while right he had a rubbish reputation, but sounds like a plausible account of #Tory office #politics!

  11. Politicians seems to have this thing that if they can't recall something then it must never have happened. And it is never challenged even though everyone knows it means it did happen but they don't want to be caught lying. #covid #covidinquiry #covid19inquiry #ukcovid19inquiry #sunak #BorisJonson #matthancock

  14. CW: UK Politics; Dido Harding

    📣 Seeing a lot of “breaking news” about a #GoodLawProject and Runnymede Trust case from earlier this year (a time when I was Legal Director of GLP), in which then-Health Secretary #MattHancock was found to have acted unlawfully when he appointed #DidoHarding as the head of #TestAndTrace without due regard to equalities law

    It’s not new, but it seems to do the rounds every so often. People are still really cross it seems!
