For anyone who follows me, I've set up a Mastodon account - @bluesprints@mastodon.scot This seems like a necessary contingency measure given the way Musk is burning twitter down. Give me a wave, a follow, a toot, a blog, a whatever it is we do over there. 🙂

Michael Gove and Sir Chris Wormald approved the purchase of 5 years supply of PPE when the remit was to build up only 4 months. They oversaw huge waste in PPE contracts. They have both had questions to answer for a very long time.

It is interesting (and disappointing) that it is not more widely and punitively noted that Rupert Murdoch through his media empire (inc Fox "News") has, during the past 55+ years, damagingly, divisively, traitorously (perhaps permanently) changed the course of human history (for the worse by far) seriously wounding democracy globally along his poisonous, disinformative way. He should be in jail and should remain there alongside his and Roy Cohn's creature, Donald Trump. At the same time, Julian Assange, imprisoned for revealing the truth about war crimes in Iraq, should be released immediately. #RupertMurdoch #Trump #JulianAssange

This govt is not interested in kindness, empathy nor understanding. SM trolls, MSM puppets and malicious politicians, who directly attack compassion, human rights and those who care for the vulnerable, are undermining a healthy society. They are the antithesis of basic decency.

Gas storage - Theresa May shut down a large gas storage facility in 2017 when advised not to. Most European countries have at least 20% storage we have 1%. Tory government u fit to govern.

IMPORTANT Pls share In May govt announced decent help based on predicted 42% rise in the Oct to Apr energy price cap (that'd take a typical bill to £2,800) Now the rise for that period's likely to be 126% (£4,460 for a typical bill) Pls read why & my plea to the new PM Cont/d
