Monday was another damning day for the government at the Covid Inquiry.
It is becoming clearer what the recommendations from the Inquiry are likely to beโฆ
But there is also a bigger question raised about criminalityโฆ

Read this thread and weep (then get angry) at the utter folly of Brexit seen through the eyes of a family firm being ruined by its red tape consequences Remember - that was the stuff Brexit was going to get rid of. Never forget. Never forgive the liars who created this self-harm
Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.
Letโs "Brexit" a ยฃ12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

So far all my assistance has gone well today. Do you know what made it work? People. People being at the station.

Harriet Harman appears teary-eyed as Tory MP @Laura__Farris pays tribute to her work and reminds the Commons she took up the role of privileges committee chair not long after her husband died.

It's
6yrs since we started seeing mass proliferation of scam ads
5yrs since I sued Facebook.
4yrs since they settled (for ยฃ3m to charity).
4yrs since the online harms white paper (still not law)
18mth since they agreed to inc scams in it.
1 day since first deep fake scam ad I've seen
Yet we've still
NO proper laws
NO proper regulation
NO proper fines for big tech who get paid to publish these criminal ads
NO mention of when things will improve
NO sign of the promised online advertising programme to help
It isn't good enough. Vulnerable people are being scammed, lifes are being ruined, and people are totally unprotected.

UK water companies have managed to rack up combined debts of an eye-watering ยฃ65 billion. What on earth have they done with all that dosh? Certainly not repair massive water leaks or stop sewage polluting rivers and beaches. Even the absurd dividends theyโve been paying themselves canโt account for it. Perhaps Ofwat could explain, if it wasnโt in their pocket (clear example of what is known as regulatory capture).

The world will hopefully begin to get back to some sense of normality - when all 3 of these individuals are safely out of #WorldPolitics.

Next Week is Refugee Week & the theme this year is Compassion
Sunakโs Illegal Migration Bill is a clear breach of the UKโs international legal obligations
Human rights are universal -itโs not up to this Government to pick who does & doesnโt deserve them
