BREAKING: The UK government wasted nearly two-thirds of the money it spent on protective equipment - almost £10bn - and had 'perilous' stockpiles that were unprepared for the pandemic, the COVID-19 inquiry has found.

@michaelgove Honest mistakes like giving contracts out to pub landlords for PPE complete coincidence he was Hancock's friend though. All MPs disgust me. Take take take, greed
English
Actually it wasn’t. Dame Heather Hallet found *no* evidence of cronyism or corruption on the part of ministers or officials. Mistakes *were* made. Honest mistakes. I take full responsibility for that. But the allegations of corruption are unfounded nonsense

@mikoh123 Their constant lies are unravelling, they can't keep up with what they have already said
English
Richard Tice all over the place on #newsnight
Farage turned down state funded security because he needs considerable security
Then He isn’t spending the £5 m because he doesn’t know how long he’ll be an MP and the lay security will fall away
Finally Reform is paying for security
English
@BladeoftheS He wasn't even born in the 50's so he must have a point
English
Nigel Farage just said the UK was better in the 1950's
In the 1950's the Government owned Gas, Oil, Rail, Power, Steel, Telecoms, Mail, Shipbuilding, Airports, Social Housing, Care Homes (Children and Adults), Schools, Hospitals...
And built 300,000 Council Houses a year.

To Hell with your pathetic apology. You should resign!

Apologies for offence caused by my earlier tweet, which I’ve now deleted. My thoughts are - as they have always been - with Ann Widdecombe’s loved ones at this awful time.

Labour have just blocked Burnham answering questions until the summer recess is over…
This isn’t democracy, this isn’t accountability.
The new PM has no mandate right now.

Dan,
Thanks for confirming that you have no decency, nor integrity.
Instead, just obsessed against Reform.
Now we all know for certain.
Only question is whether it is your personal decision, or the instructions of your employer to behave in this way.
(((Dan Hodges)))@DPJHodges
Oh, that. No, you guys are deliberately trying to deflect from the £5m donation. That's self-evident. I'm not going to be apologising for that. I'm going to keep repeating it.
English
@Arron_banks So concerned that he said on live TV that he's spent £0 of the £5mil "gift" on security
English
During the Brexit referendum I had a draw full of death threats, they came in weekly. Once Nigel retired from politics he was quite right to take the £5m gift to secure him and his family for life. As we have seen during the last few days no one is safe.
English
When the Police clearly lie to us, people will speculate.
English
@dave43law Just another way to take take take. Interesting what his story about the £5mil will now turn to, given that he was going to get it for free
English
So now the truth is coming out - the 'demi god' Farage is above the level of protection offered to the likes of the Leader of the Opposition.......
It really is a cult mentality
Also highlights the lies from Reform and the line that he has always been refused security
Farage refused taxpayer-funded security because it was ‘inadequate’
Reform UK decided to continue providing its own protection for Nigel Farage, rather than ‘gamble with his life’, a spokesperson said

FIFA NEEDS TO CALL A REPLAY OF THE MATCH BETWEEN NORWAY AND ENGLAND.
IF THEY DON'T THIS WILL BE THE BIGGEST RIGGED SOCCER GAME IN HISTORY AND WILL BE TALKED ABOUT FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME!!
CALL A DAMN REMATCH FIFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ESPN Podcasts@espnpodcasts
"FIFA are telling you to not believe what you've seen because they've got something else instead...are we stupid now?" @kickback_nedum isn't convinced by FIFA's non-explanation on England's first goal @ESPNFC
English
@ladyslabour @DPJHodges Farage obviously doesn't take the threat too seriously himself. It was just a few days ago he admitted that he had spent £0 of the £5mil he claims to have been given for his security.
English
@DPJHodges A totally different threat level I would suspect, so probably inadequate.
English
Think it's worth repeating. Zia Yusuf claimed no state support was being offered to Reform MPs for protection. In reality, Nigel Farage was offered a car, a trained driver, a bodyguard, and security on a similar level to that offered Kemi Badenoch. That's quite the deception.
English
@FennellJW There is no way we would have won that Mexico game and probably Norway too

A Gareth Southgate coached England could have got to this stage in the World Cup. Its the next game(s) that will determine if the FA made the right decision hiring Thomas Tuchel.

@AllisonPearson It's called an investigation. At the point he posted this, he was factually correct. The investigation has now taken another turn. It's not that difficult to comprehend
English
This post has aged well.
👇
Journalists with such a lack of curiosity and eagerness to fall in with the police’s (clearly misleading) line aren’t doing the job.
(((Dan Hodges)))@DPJHodges
Police again very clear. No suggestion Anne Widdecombe's death terror related. Or that it is politically motivated. And that speculation on motive is unhelpful to their investigation.
English
On the issue of what stirs up hate:
* Reform hosted Lucy Conolly on their main stage at conference
* Senior members of Reform, such as Zia Yusuf, regularly describe their political opponents as "traitors"
* When Keir Starmer's house was firebombed, prominent Reform supporters circulated Russian propaganda minimising, and joking about, the attack
So when it comes to political discourse what are the rules. If jeering at Nigel Farage in the House of Commons chamber crosses a line, what is the line now.
English
@T1000JudgeDay @AllisonPearson A bit like the right calling the left "traitors" eh?
English
@AllisonPearson The problem is that the far left will always lose the argument, so their only hope is hate, falsehoods and violence.
English
The “hate” against Reform has been propagated by Ed Davey, David Lammy (“Nazis”), Keir Starmer and every MP in the Commons who jeers and drowns out Farage when he tries to speak.
The entire political and media class has blood on its hands.
Lucy Powell MP@LucyMPowell
Earlier today I paid tribute to Ann Widdecombe, called for more civility in political debate and for further action to tackle hate propagated online.
