We didn’t need a UK Covid Inquiry, dominated by over-paid lawyers (not scientists) & lying politicians, & costing £300m, to tell us that the UK Govt response to a global pandemic was lazy, unserious, incompetent. UKGovt led a corrupt opportunity to transfer public wealth to rich Tory charlatans.

Something I did not know until today … Australia has no nuclear power. In fact illegal at both state and federal to do so, made illegal in 1998.
So why does Scotland have to host new nuclear power stations for England?
We have the energy but not the power.

Isn't social housing supposed to be for those who can't afford any other form of housing?
If people are on wages so low that they can't get social housing, this proves that wages are too low. Companies are profiting while their workers can't afford to put a roof over their heads. Disgusting 🤬

It really is sad to say, but it cannot be denied: we in Europe now have to consider America and Americans as our enemy. The publication of Trump's new doctrine in the National Security Strategy makes clear that the US government wants to hurt us in Europe. We need to turn our back on America

Not fit to be in the caring profession
*NB* several famous names have helped fund this woman’s legal case - JK Rowling being rumoured as one and represented by Joanna Cherry.
So now we know she’s an open transphobe as well as a racist (in the public domain). When does the NMC launch its investigation into her fitness to practice?

Notice that Farage’s behaviour at school is being normalised with ‘well we all did daft things when we were young’. That’s a false equivalence. That’s not what this is. What we know from 20 witnesses is that Farage showed a persistent pattern of racist & antisemitic views & behaviour over time.

At least eight MEPs elected for Ukip or Brexit party now known to have been focus of efforts by jailed Nathan Gill
Three more British MEPs from Nigel Farage’s bloc are alleged to have “followed the script” given to a colleague who was being bribed by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors, as a police investigation into the affair continues.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has named Jonathan Bullock, Julia Reid and Steven Woolfe, saying they followed the script provided to Nathan Gill by Oleg Voloshyn when giving interviews to 112 Ukraine, a pro-Russian TV channel in March 2019. Continue reading...
