Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry.
The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale.
Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs.

We Rejoiners need the biggest possible vote for the LibDems and Greens in the local elections. It would be a big blow for Farage and the Brexit press, and it would put electoral pressure on Starmer to drop his red lines against Freedom of Movement and rejoining the Single Market.

Local elections have low turnouts. We can swing the results against Farage by getting good people off their sofas and into the polling stations.
If you're angry with Labour, then there are the LibDems and Greens.
Abstaining helps the fascists.

The pro-Putin candidate for the Romanian presidency Calin Georgescu gave a Musk-style Nazi salute when he was released from the prosecutor’s office after questioning.
Two points: this is an international fascist movement with the Trump-Putin axis at the heart. And the salute is now normalised.

It’s all about reading between the lines in current statements, but Lavrov has just said Russia is worried about the growth of neo-Nazi ideology in *Canada*. Sounds ludicrous, but this was the pretext for Russia invading Ukraine. And he could be laying the ground for Trump action.
