Good work
I could point out that he doesnât need me to help him. But that would be churlish.
Yes we did
Life skills in becoming more devious
Tony Blair has released his own roadmap out of lockdown including his own traffic light system
He hates not being important
Does it involve invading anywhere?
This could just as easily go in Latest News, but the country didnât earn much money last month.
To be expected. January is always slow. A lot of taxi drivers I speak to normally jet off to the Canaries at this time of year because business is so slow.
He talks the talk but will he walk the walk?
Covid creativity
We should definitely commit to offering spare doses to poorer nations first. Then he should pick up the phone and ask Macron how many he wants.
Oh dear, despite spending the best part of a million quid on legal fees the government have lost their battle to try and keep Tory corruption a secret. Of course the MSM will do their best not to acknowledge the courtâs verdict.
So will a telling off from a judge be the end of the matter or is someone going to lose their job and go before a criminal court?
Iâd say No and No
I wouldnât hold your breath on that one! Of course they will do their best to ignore the judgement, but surely a high court ruling that the government acted unlawfully canât be ignored for ever, no matter how many pictures of the PM in his scientistâs white coat holding up a vial of vaccine, getting in everybodyâs way are blazoned across the media every day. I do wish someone would point out to him that he won the election over a year ago, he can stop campaigning now and start doing some work. But I wonât be holding my breath on that one either.
Itâs a bit sad that in the absence of an effective Opposition the high court had to step in and do the job for them.
Even the Good Law Project only seem to be after an improvement in future procedures
Of course, nothing to see here!
The Good Law Project brought this case because the government were acting unlawfully, hiding the details of multi million pound contracts to cronies and party donors. âOnly seeking an improvement in future proceduresâ, spin worthy of Dominic Cummings himself! Justice Chamberlain, âThe Secretary of State spent vast quantities of public money on pandemic-related procurements during 2020. The public were entitled to see who this money was going to,what it was being spent on and how the relevant contracts were awardedâ. The government spent nearly a million pounds, an unheard of sum in these cases, trying to bankrupt the GLP and stop corrupt practices seeing the light of day. There is plenty more where this came from, and the GLP can now carry on exposing them. To give it some kind of perspective, NASA spent approximately one tenth of the money handed out to Baroness Harding and her chums for an unfit for purpose test and trace system, building and launching Perseverence, landing and operating on Mars for a year.
E Mails read out in court showed that civil servants were pressured to break the law by No 10 special advisors, not to publish procurement contracts within thirty days. With this judgement the GLP can now carry on exposing these corrupt practices, they are sitting on some pretty explosive evidence by all accounts. It will come out in the end. Meanwhile the governmentâs fanboys will carry on desperately trying to play it all down, making excuses for these crooks. I do wonder what their take on it all would be if it was a Labour government behaving in this way.
Not a mention on BBC lunchtime news about this judgement of course, or ITV or Sky, plenty about a 99 year old man being a bit under the weather, Harry and Meghan and the Queen though. Oh, and a picture of Johnson from yesterday at a vaccine centre for the umpteenth time this month, in his white coat holding up a phial of vaccine and staring at it, trying to look intelligent.
The death toll from this virus now stands at 120,000, and that is probably an underestimate. Around 50% of these deaths have come in just twelve weeks since the back end of November, a shocking and damning statistic. To be laid solely at the door of Johnsonâs ignoring the scientists and lifting lockdown too early, and the chaos of his on-off-on Christmas mixing policy, his desperate need to be Father Christmas and his pathological need to be popular. A large proportion of these deaths are down to him, and itâs long past time that he was held responsible and accountable for them. But of course it wonât happen, they are only worthy of a passing mention, unless itâs the death of someone they can exploit to their advantage. A criminally irresponsible government, but sadly too many people will carry on supporting and finding excuses for him.
Hey I was only quoting the GLPs own tweet
We have now written to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care detailing what needs to be done to improve procurement processes and ensure value for British taxpayers.
And on Sky News
but not on the Daily Fail site, only Megan and Harry on that oneâŠ
