£130m. 👀

Let's put that into context. The storage costs alone for unused PPE now stands at over £1bn.

....And that's on top of the £billions Tories bunged their mates and donors to procure out of date, substandard rubbish to protect the brave men and women in our NHS

1/ Hey, Bluesky. I have a BIG new story to share with you.

It’s about LEONARD LEO, the man who’s been called the “hidden architect” of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority.

Our investigation goes deeper, and reveals more, than any story about Leo.

It's 🧵 time…

When you say you're a patriot but then avoid paying your taxes, hand public jobs, perks & contracts to friends & family, accept money from sponsors in return for influencing govt decisions & elected members of parliament, you are -by definition- not a patriot.

The Times concedes that Starmer ‘sounded like a PM-in-waiting’ but says there are still questions about the detail of his policies.
Ok. Shall we look at every single ‘policy’ from this Tory shitshow… including the “illustrative examples” of its HS2 farce? Why is the bar so much lower for them?
