Should they have backed Truss even if it was a "catastrophe"?

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has just pulled out of keynote speech tomorrow morning

@mikoh123 Perhaps @CamillaTominey could confirm?

Nigel Farage is a misogynist. He is rude, patronising and often aggressive to female journalists in a way he never is to male journalists. He really is a vile individual. #politicslive #pmqs

@mrhenrymorris Just popping over here for a moment to enjoy all that wonderful ‘free speech’ they keep talking about.

@Dominic2306 Why did Hugo Keith fail to examine anything related to the subject of Behavioural Fatigue? So much about how govt handled COVID has now been evidenced by the Inquiry. But everyone seems to want to forget how this critical mis-step happened just as the first wave was hitting.

@Dominic2306 With the issuing of the #CovidInquiry Report, it seems the mystery as to the origins the fake theory of #BehaviouralFatigue will never now be answered. Could #BehavioralFatigue have, unchecked, entered the nation’s lexicon due to the actions of just one, lone official?

🚨🚨STATEMENT ON THE INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU 'INQUIRY' 🚨🚨 The Inquiry has been a mix of Inspector Clouseau, coverups, and rewriting history. The lawyers have paid themselves millions and made understanding of what happened even worse. Some context for this afternoon’s report. - I don’t know what they will say about me. I was asked to participate in a ‘Maxwellisation process’. I declined and told them to publish what they actually think about me. I have a) never hired lawyers to deal with the Inquiry or any other investigations including into rule breaking or anything else involving my time in government, and b) have never been interviewed/questioned by the police in any way, including even email questions, on any subject (other than government business and security issues), and c) never broke any rules, been fined, or in any way shape or form been found by the police or anybody else to have broken any rule/law of any kind at any time — or even been accused of this by any authority whatsoever. All media reports to the contrary are entirely false. I think the Maxwellisation process is more Insider corruption so declined to participate. - The lawyers for the Inquiry allowed many senior scientists to claim under oath that ‘I thought X on date Y’ when on YouTube there is video/audio of them saying the exact opposite on date Y. Not once have I seen the Inquiry challenge scientists over this. The Inquiry has therefore enabled a vast rewriting of history — some dishonest, some simply the normal process of people wanting to believe they were right at the time. - After my first evidence, I inserted criticism of the conduct of the Inquiry into future statements. The Inquiry has withheld these from publication. So the Inquiry is covering up evidence in order to hide criticism of itself. - One of my criticisms was that the Inquiry failed *even to get statements* from many crucial people. This group included roughly 99% of the 30 relatively junior women working in No10. Ironically, this mirrors the actual events of 2020 — i.e me forcing the rubbish old system to listen to junior people and the rubbish old system refusing and getting angry then lying about it. The Inquiry has mirrored the Cabinet Office in 100 ways. - This is not surprising since the Inquiry also imported the pernicious HR culture of the Cabinet Office which contributed to the death of thousands unnecessarily in 2020-21. - It is important for the public to realise that on most of the big questions, the ‘experts’ including the senior scientists were completely wrong in Q1 2020. They advised us to do almost nothing, They went along with closing down testing which Hancock executed in March. They mocked supermodel Caprice for suggesting ‘close the borders’. They claimed ‘masks don’t work’ (while using them themselves). They said ‘it’s impossible to do vaccines in 2020’. They advised against any serious restrictions and said there was no reasonable alternative to ‘a single wave, over by September by when there will be natural herd immunity’. They also believed fake ‘behavioural science’ and bogus theories of psychology and communication to justify doing almost nothing. - The suggestion of sending out the PM to tell people to hold ‘chickenpox parties’ came from the official in charge of pandemic planning and preparation and running the DHSC, who is now the most senior official in the country and much more powerful than any MP except the PM. Yes, he was rewarded for abject failure with promotion to the top job. This is very logical for Westminster. Wormald claims his chicken pox parties idea was simply a version of SAGE advice but this is obviously nonsense. SAGE did not advise pox parties. Initially they supported ‘do little’ (Plan A) then shifted to support Plan B. NOBODY I’m aware of apart from Wormald supported pox parties. The Cabinet Secretary Sedwill has got most of the blame for the pox parties on 12/3 but the blame is rightly Wormald’s. (Also NB. When I originally disclosed the pox parties in 2021, No10 claimed it was a lie. But now there is clear written evidence showing it came from Wormald.) - Wormald also tried to exclude from SAGE meetings Ben Warner who turned out to be critical in exposing errors made in SAGE and the Cabinet Office. Wormald’s justification is he was ‘applying lessons from the Iraq Inquiry’! Watch the same farce repeat itself on covid. - Later senior scientists/officials made other huge mistakes like refusing to listen to young scientists who rightly said that rapid tests would work and could provide an alternative to further lockdowns. If DHSC and senior scientists had listened, thousands would have lived and countless billions saved. The second and third lockdowns were unnecessary *even given the total collapse of Q1*. Most of those involved in this were never asked to give statements. This story has been faked too. - Whitehall structures were useless at exposing these errors. Exposing was done almost entirely by Outsiders such as Ben Warner and James Phillips. Whitehall then often tried to blacken their reputations and drive them away from helping in order to avoid embarrassment. E.g Kate Bingham. (Where Whitehall also successfully both briefed against her and successfully ditched the blame for such briefing on others. Textbook *Yes, Minister*.) - A crucial thing to keep in mind is — the ‘experts’ were almost totally wrong, and the entire system has worked to cover this up since then including the Inquiry. The experts then *flipped their story on every major issue in a few weeks*. And the system has memory holed this too. Look at coverage of rapid tests for an example. - Meanwhile Whitehall has gone backwards on learning from the disaster. E.g In 2019 I warned that when the next disaster came, EU procurement laws would kill many. They did. In January 2020 I started undoing these rules. Almost all Whitehall opposed. Even after covid we have kept the absurd EU system. It's been a disaster for us and on the UKR war. - In January 2020 I began trying to change the physical layout of government so it could deal with a crisis. This was opposed by officials and by the PM. This has been suppressed by the Inquiry. And the layout of government remains a JOKE for normal business and crises. This is relevant to many subsequent debacles. - For reasons nobody is clear on, the Trolley shot himself in both feet in 2021 by working with Hancock to spread lies about Plan A and claim 'the plan never changed we did Plan A' despite the mountain of documents and the fact that the government CSA and CMO briefed the 'herd immunity' plan on the record in March 2020! This was extremely stupid and self-defeating but it added a layer of confusion. E.g both Telegraph and Guardian aligned in claiming that the scientists wanted to do lockdown but the PM opposed them. This is the opposite of the truth. But weirdly such nonsense became convenient for different sides to believe so fake history became real history for most of SW1. - Arguments over lockdown are even more confused now than they were in 2020. It is necessary to separate a) what a theoretical highly competent regime should have done, and b) the practically available possibilities in 2020 given the disaster over planning and preparation and the uselessness of so many key people and the collapse of the Cabinet Office. This precluded any sort of optimal response. My view in March 2020 was that the system had disastrously failed and would undoubtedly u-turn and do lockdown. My view was tested in Q3 2020 when the situation repeated. I predicted then — all in the documents — that the Trolley would do the same as spring — delude himself then u-turn. This is what happened. Given I was right in Q3, a fortiori it is practically unarguable that this would have happened in April 2020 if something like what we did after 13 March had *not* happened. I will be amazed if just one mainstream news entity explains the facts and evidence on this properly. - SPI-B was mostly charlatanry and bullshit and fake ‘science’. SPI-M told us to ignore SPI-B though obviously none of them told the Inquiry this. - Most people reasonably assume the Inquiry has been going through the official emails. False. They are not. What evidence is actually used is quite random. Plus the CO deleted — accidentally or on purpose — many documents despite me asking them at the start to keep them all. Most of the evidence is just sitting in rubbish computers, unread. - If you want to read further, then look at my original evidence to the Inquiry. The big one page redaction is because the Cabinet Office refused to let the judge see what I said about the intelligence services and their claims to the PM and me in 2020 that the idea of a lab leak was a ‘conspiracy theory’. This is another coverup. The judge claimed a right to know everything relevant to the senior decisions makers minds in 2020. The CO stopped this happening with bogus ‘national security’ claims, as so often in history, to avoid facing blunders. - Remember — briefing from the Cabinet Office *is the disinformation*. No part of government - not even the MoD - lies more than the Cabinet Office. Most hacks swallow the lies and the FT actively promotes them because the CO supplies the FT with so much content. - No, the Inquiry will not lead to 'lessons learned'. This almost never happens in the yookay system which is devoted to anti-learning and covering up for official failure. The Government will babble nonsense in response to this report and the MPs will doze on, as always. Everything will drift worse. Most supposed learning will probably be anti-learning, just as the government repeated its covid procurement disasters in Ukraine. - The Inquiry said it would blame me for the sexism of the Cabinet Office and No10. Logical. Given who I hired and promoted and the rows I had with officials, this comedy is aesthetically perfect for the farce. The Inquiry did not, of course, bother asking the young women involved to give evidence because evidence would scupper their narrative. - Witnesses to the Inquiry were threatened off camera by lawyers working for the Inquiry. Such conduct is usually taken extremely seriously and can be grounds for serious action against barristers. Here it’s been covered up. Typical. And discussing this is partly why the Inquiry has kept my evidence secret. - If the Inquiry says I got anything right, bear in mind it’s probably got this wrong too. - All the people who did the absolute worst got promoted and given gongs. Super logical. - Only regime change can fix our pathological institutions. - If you want to understand what happened on covid, buy the boxset of *Yes, Minister* — it’s all there.

@trussliz @bankofengland Wanna guess what Andrew Lilico *really* thinks of @trussliz ?

My plans were putting the country on a positive trajectory. The @bankofengland could have decided to back them and fulfil their duty to maintain financial stability. They chose not to. And regrettably many Conservative MPs went along with them.

@mrhenrymorris Today’s challenge: Find anything that Matt Hancock ever did that was either worthwhile, worthy, cool, useful, valuable, sincere, talented, good, or honest. Go on, it only needs to be any *one* of those things.

Matt Hancock just tried to defect to Reform but locked himself inside his car instead by accident.

'The Reform Leader said JLR deserves to go bust, shame on him!' Keir Starmer took a swipe at Reform UK leader Nigel Farage during PMQs, criticising his stance on Jaguar Land Rover.

Has Farage's 'vetting company' let him down again, or is this just the inevitable consequence of appealing to bigots, fascists and morons?

@ElenaBjxrn Unroll please @threadreaderapp

I just remembered the time I went on a first date to London Zoo and at the gate he asked if I would mind paying for my own ticket, which I said I would, at which point he pulled out a 2-for-1 voucher, so I paid for my ticket and he went in for free.
