Who were the biggest Boris Johnson loyalists?
Nadine Dorries, Andrea Jenkyns, Nadhim Zahawi, Jake Berry, Lee Anderson, Jonathan Gullis, etc.
Where do they all work now?

Farage is recreating the worst elements of the Tory Party.

If you don’t want politicians re-writing history for political gain please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call out this absolute rubbish with the actual facts. If UK news shows are not up to the job let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.
We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

Nigel Farage has been out today defending a platform that creates child sex abuse images and harasses women. Remember this the next time he says his anti immigrant rhetoric is motivated by concern for women and children.

Quite. It’s ridiculous that, for instance, our Health Secretary can be legitimately exposed to the risk of conflicts of interest by receiving money from private health concerns eager to be given contracts for healthcare that should arguably be provided by our cash-strapped NHS.

I don't know how to feel about your videos any more. I love them, because every single one is a perfectly eloquent expression of the rage we should all be feeling, but on the other hand each one leaves me a little more certain that we're utterly, utterly fucked.

Nearly half of hospital Trusts have a ‘planned’ deficit £2.2bn this year
The context here is that GP practices don’t run at a deficit, have had £2.2bn removed from their budgets over the past 10yrs ~20%

THIS is what Trump had to say about how drug pricing negotiations happened.
He is laughing at the UK and so many other countries who accepted huge price hikes. How utterly humiliating for Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting.

PFI was scrapped after costing more, shrinking hospital capacity & locking the NHS into costly inflexible contracts.
Just years later, private partnerships are back on the table.

At a time when the US is proving to be actively working against our national interests, and our dependence on the US for aircraft and missile supply and support is raising massive concern, this is a truly perverse decision.
Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

we can't afford to look away or be complacent about what is happening in the US.
I wrote this only last week, after saying that Trump seems about to wage war on Venezuela. It seems pretty relevant to what transpired today.
UK and Europe *must* reduce our dependence on America and its technologies as rapidly as we can.

Trump getting hands on oil ultimately allows him to sell the idea to his base. The oil pays for it. But ultimately this is about showing power and might. In the same way China and Russia do and will continue to.

Analysis suggests Trump taking over Venezuela isn’t really about oil. US don’t need oil and they could do deals to rectify what they believe is owed. This is about reigning supreme in the Western Hemisphere. When will the UK wake up to that fact and who we appear to be supporting? Madness.
