The Health and Social Care Committee’s evaluation of palliative care in England was published yesterday.
It’s hugely important, not least in the context of the assisted dying bill.
It’s had almost no media coverage.

As co-convener of Vote Leave, Michael Gove occupied a position of legal responsibility. The unlawful spending & campaign coordination happened on his watch. The denials - proven to be false - ditto. Vote Leave, ultimately, accepted the finding & paid the fine.
There were no other consequences.

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.
He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.
No one believes you, Nigel.
Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.
