Summary of a week of Tory rule

^Dominic Cummings has just taken charge of all government data. What could possibly go wrong?“^ but but but but we will be getting rid of unelected bureaucrats when we leave the EU surely?

Ha! you’d think wouldn’t you?

How secure is it, given Cummings relationship with Russia?

Cummings relationship with Russia may well be what this is all about. Talk about turkeys voting for xmas!!!!

Finally, a thread about the government's corruption, incompetence and sheer laziness with no Tory apologists (yet!).

They think we're making it all up because we're bitter remainers, Drum

I actually never expected to see that trope resurrected, now that we've left, and all that, but Borisovich did in PMQs yesterday and now it's in fashion again

Hasn't the power to vet people just gone to Gove?

Who'll take a bet on the next high security pass going to a Russian...?

I was just about to post about this, but found you'd beaten me to it. This is downright terrifying. Wake up, people! This is a coup right under our noses.

And don't let anybody ever wonder why people in 1930s Germany didn't do anything to stop the Nazis. They were no different from the people in the UK now.

Gove and Cummings are in this together. They go back years.

JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS

This is real Jeremey Corbyn which the public was not allowed to see or know about

Judgement day has come for the BBC & Panorama

By the way a fundraiser started yesterday has reached 112000 already gofundme in support of JC It is reported that John Ware a reporter for Panorama is taking legal action for libel against former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

I wonder who was responsible for the Windrush scandal?

Oh! Wait of course it was the Tories.

Patel breathtaking in her hypocrisy

Priti Patel

Deeply saddened by the passing of Paulette Wilson who dedicated her last years to highlight the terrible injustices faced by the #Windrush generation.

Together we must continue on her mission to right the wrongs.

Is this the same Priti Patel who has promoted immigration restrictions which would have prevented her own parents from coming to the UK?

Somehow I am beginning to relate more closely on a personal level to peasant uprisings like the French Revolution. You can see where they were coming from...

My pitchfork is at the ready, Blinko

I shall knit.

I think that #47 is a bit of an eye opener. Where did the money come from...?

Bank overdrafts? Part of the 8.4 million liabilities.

This is dreadful and depressing, we still have over 4 years of this awful corrupt government. A rising and revolution seems the only way. Tory voters should hang their heads in shame.

MaisieD Lol!

Jenrick has admitted that he deliberately rushed through a housing development to help a Tory donor avoid a £45million tax bill

can't help feeling there could be more noise about this?

New Zealand, with its socialist Prime Minister, hasn’t had a single case of COVID-19 in weeks. They put people before profit & their economy is thriving

Over 100 Tory mps are going to re-launch the idea of one nation Toryism with a raft of new policies, aimed at trying to steer Johnson away from the hard right.

Amongst the ideas is to raise tax on unearned income.

Many of the original group have now left and those that remain are saying that they are having difficulty recognising the Tory party as the party they joined.

I’m sure there are many voters in the country at large who are thinking the same.

Last chance to protect the NHS from trade deals.

The government have outsourced test and trace to private companies. And they won't even show us the contracts.

Dr John Aston challenges Matt Hancock on test and trace

twitter.com/We_OwnIt/status/1288523397455060996?s=20

Here’s the answer. The private companies all the millions are going to are friends, families, cronies of Johnson. Cummings. The most corrupt government the uk has ever witnessed. All this right in front of your eyes. And no one questions it. They give not a fuk about anyone else

Johnson always performs abysmally at PMQS

Cummings/Johnson now trying to replace it with a Trump style press conference but with a paid employee doing the question and answer session.

What a joke they are. Simply not up to the job

No wonder the Tories don’t want an investigation.

Peter Stefanovic

Wow. The Commons public accounts committee slams Gov’t saying allowing hospitals to discharge patients into care homes without testing was a 'reckless' & 'appalling' error by ministers & #BBCBreakfast didn’t think that was worth raising with Matt Hancock during 20 min interview!
