So now Patel said refugees will be stored “offshore”, but nobody knows where, and Australian experts described the idea as “a human rights disaster”. After introducing quarantines on returning tourists, Dominic Raab said “you cannot be penalised in this country lawfully for following the rules”

In May 2019 the UK declared a “Climate Emergency” and said we must reduce travel and trade closer to home Boris Johnson announced he is personally taking charge of the coronavirus response, a mere 138 days since the first UK caseI was going to do #TheWeekInTory, but try as I might, I can’t find a single thing they’ve done wrong this week. e. Then the govt said we should excuse Johnson’s behaviour – he was distracted because his child was very ill with that "entirely safe" Covid, which your kids must now risk without masks, because FREEDOM It was revealed UK negotiators “only engaged with Brexit issues [the single most important political business since WW2] in the last 2 weeks” The govt declined to do a review into preparations for a second wave, even when one was recommended by the Royal Societies of Surgeons, Nurses & GPs All Johnson’s WhatsApp messages are still there, except for the ones about Covid contracts, which he seems to have entirely accidentally deleted, just as the Covid enquiry begins. The “delete awkward evidence” button is in the Settings menu of WhatsApp.

When Boris Johnson joined the Bullingdon club “the whole culture was to exert vandalism – they had to have their room smashed to pieces”The Minister for Arts said the govt was “committed to supporting the Arts Sector in through crisis” Then the self-styled “enemy of the Islington media elite” said his wife, who works in the media, had been ill in their house in Islington To promote this, the Chancellor posed for a photo-op serving customers in Wagamama, whilst breaking the guidelines And the Health Minister, also on his A-game, didn’t know about the 2017 report on our poor pandemic preparedness (spoiler!) til he saw it the Guardian in May 2020 Michael Gove went on TV and said it was “wise” to drive 30 miles on public roads with your family in the car to test your eyesight

The gov’s “world beating” test-and-trace programme was described as “scandalous” by the British Medical Journal, and found to miss its 80% target in every Covid hotspot announced this week Public safety news: 3 years from Grenfell, the National Audit Office found only 14% of dangerous buildings have had their cladding removed Lightly amusing when appropriate, darkly scathing throughout- this book uses the scandals, corruptions, and idiocies of the past decade to tear down any existing facade of decency or competence within the tory party. All through their own quotes and verified statistics (see the extensive notes at the end of the book). Sunak then posed for perfectly life-like photos depicting him – the richest MP there has ever been – putting petrol into ‘his’ Kia Rio (only it belonged to a Sainsbury’s worker)The immigration bill reached the Lords, and Sunak urged them not to “override the will of the people”. Sajid Javid told Radio 4 “Russians mislead their public all the time”, and then immediately denied Johnson had even said the Brexit / Ukraine thing. Which he said. On TV.
