🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: In a shocking expose, the New York Times has uncovered that Donald Trump has secretly spoken with Vladimir Putin as many as SEVEN times since leaving office. The conversations coincided with Trump pressuring Republicans to block military aid to Ukraine. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR!!! Trump also secretly sent Putin COVID tests while he was in office, when they were hard to obtain. Putin even asked Trump to keep it a secret. There is no way Donald Trump should ever be allowed to occupy the White House again.

Left: David Frost, "I found the lockdowns actually, a profoundly inhumane and disturbing period to live through" Right: Prof Kevin Fong to the Covid Inquiry "The scale of death experienced by the Intensive Care teams during was unlike anything they had seen before" "It was routine to see 3-5 deaths a day.. I was on a shift where we had 6 deaths on a single shift" "Another hospital told us they had 10 deaths in a shift, two of whom were their own staff" "One of the nurses said they just got tired of putting people in body bags" "Sometimes they were so overwhelmed they were putting patients in body bags and lifting them from the bed, putting them on the floor, putting another patient in the bed because there wasn't time" "Things got so bad, they ran out of body bags, they were instead issued with 9 foot clear plastic sacks and cable ties. And those nurses talk about being really traumatised because they had recurring nightmares. Feeling that they were just throwing bodies away" "These people are used to seeing death, but not on that scale and not like that" "It was like nothing else I had ever seen. Like nothing else any of those teams had ever seen"

A young health worker at Peterborough City Hospital is working a 12 hour shift today at just over minimum wage. She is now scared to go home tonight “because of my colour” as Peterborough has been ‘chosen’ for a Far Right rally. What a fucked up world.

Trevor Philips, "Liz Truss essentially made the party of sound money, the party of market chaos" "And Boris Johnson made the party of law and order the party of law breakers" "It's really striking that in this interview you seem to refuse to accept that you're carrying that burden" "The D-Day, the gambling, the announcement in the rain.. It's been a mess" Oliver Dowden, "I accept people's frustrations" Trevor Philips, "I'm not talking about people's frustrations, I'm talking about your failures"

Hmm. If true, it would mean the two main funders of GB News would have been the main beneficiaries of the spurious NatWest debanking scandal they promoted with their host Nigel Farage. Conflicts of interest galore
The Farage banking scandal was a set up that allowed: Marshall Wace held the biggest short position in NatWest and netted a multi-million pound paper gain after the bank’s share price dropped by more than 4% wiping £1.1bn from its value, following the Farrage “debanking” row.

Speaking in exasperation and despair (without useful notes) against a piece of this Govt's legislation. What I said could apply to almost any Bill, but this was on the bonkers idea of sending asylum seekers to #Rwanda Please please #GeneralElectionNow
Baroness Jones, "I felt that the opening remarks by the noble lord's minister was so full of mistakes that I feel I should go through it tomorrow in Hansard with a red pen and pass it back to him, if that's all right, and he can just see exactly where I think he went wrong" "Now, it was expected that the other place would take out all of our very important and amendments, but at the same time, you have to say, that was not a move of a democratically minded government" "That was a move of a very authoritarian, tyrannical government" "So this (Conservative) government is actually choosing tyranny over democracy in this instance" "And, of course, we now have the job of revising it again. And it does seem to me, as the noble Lord, Lord Lipsey said, the British public is actually kinder and more concerned than this government" "So this government doesn't represent the public anymore. It really is time they go" @GreenJennyJones

I might get an answer to this as a written question.
As Sunak seeks to ban protests that might influence MPs @GreenJennyJones asks: "Has HMG done any assessment of the relative impacts on policy making of protests outside Parliament compared to lobbying by corporation and rich individuals?" #ToryCorruption #Gaza
