The jail poor people for defrauding £100 of benefits.

Johnson presided over by £10,900,000,000 of fraud.

WHY IS HE NOT IN JAIL?
.
Confirming what we knew already - Boris Johnson was a disastrous Prime Minister who should never hold public office again!

Good time to remind everyone of this as we go back in to masks again in the NHS.

PPE will be a triggering topic for many staff who suffered as a result of an incompetent government response during the Pandemic

Where's the justice for the staff who died?
Covid fraud under the Tories cost the taxpayer £10.9 billion

The counter-fraud and error measures during the pandemic under the Conservative Government were accused of being 'so lax they may as well have left the door wide open'

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

And, as she pointed out: oh look, they’ve eliminated the woman from the image. Also, the person with specialist knowledge, training and qualifications.
But promoting the man with no training, quals or specialist knowledge, so that’s alright then.

Come on, Grauniad!!!! Do better!

I don't know but it might be that Sarah Mullally the new Archbishop of Canterbury might be interested in the gathering PFI scandal surrounding the NHS ? She seems like the right person to ask for help ? She was a nurse when she was younger.

Good news a woman has broken the CofE glass ceiling. BUT why refer to her as Dame Sarah. Why no last name ? Whilst all the men in the articles have last names. @BBCnews #respect #everydaysexism.
