Robert Jenrick illegally rushed through planning permission to try help a billionaire avoid £45m in property tax. But he is sick of seeing Asylum Seekers break the law. Because that’s only for him and his rich buddies.

CONFIRMED: A 21-year-old protester, Kaden Rummler, was shot point-blank in the face by a federal agent outside a federal building in Santa Ana, CA. Doctors say he’s now blind in one eye for life. He was holding a megaphone, not a weapon.

Robert Jenrick as housing minister directed New towns funds to his own constituency despite it not meeting eligibility criteria: and fast tracked a Tory donors planning appeal after a donation. A knight in shining armour he is not. Reform is a gallery of rogues.

Good ventilation and air filtration are critical tools in preventing respiratory infections. The Government must assess current standards in hospitals and schools — and act where they fall short. #Flu #Covid #Ventilation Full response 👉 https://t.co/gbvXNhQn6H

Ventilation maintenance is an essential part of IPC. @AshleyDalton_MP @jenni_minto and @JenMurnaneOConn as you are responsible for Public Health and Prevention will you act to reduce airborne risks?
Picture of extraction vent in the supposed isolation cubicle my mum is in on an NHS ward. I wonder what you'd find if you swabbed it. Some nasty stuff I'll bet; mould, fungus, viruses, bacteria etc:

It's hard to take medical staff seriously if delivering a message in a surgical mask (providing no significant protection), saying that they're struggling. Until they start using proper airborne mitigations and taking disease transmission seriously, this situation won't improve.
As we remain in a Critical Incident, Medical Director Manjeet Shehmar is asking for public support in getting medically safe patients home and out of hospital to recover as soon as is safe to do so. Thank you for your continued support - https://t.co/3jSGhmFnIR

This is horrific: ICE manhandles disabled woman, on her way to a doctor's appointment, smashing her windows and dragging her out of her car. The cruelty is the point. Make sure everyone sees this. https://t.co/b6aHc3jYsw

Many hospitals in England are experiencing “critical incidents” because infectious disease is out of control. But, still, the NHS won’t implement the recommended airborne infection control measures. WHY?

Watching Surgeons at the edge of life. It feels so frustrating that the NHS does some completely incredible things, that are borderline miraculous. BUT it is such a stark contrast to the difficulty that people are having accessing more routine care. Cognitive dissonance is

.@Timodc on JD Vance's comments about Renée Good: "He paints her as an enemy...as a domestic foe, he lies about her, he shows no sympathy towards her. And, and he does so in a lecturing, condescending, smarmy way... It's totally, totally sick, and I find him to be repulsive."

They’re now kicking over the candles lit for Renee Good. “You know what that’s for?” “I don’t give a f*ck.” This is contempt, for a dead American, her family, and the public watching.

JD Vance 🇺🇸 on the murder of an unarmed mother of 3 in Minneapolis by an ICE gunman ‘She was part of a left wing radical group’ ‘Using domestic terror techniques’ ‘You in the media have been lying’ ‘She tried to ram him’ ‘He defended himself’ Totally unhinged. And dangerous.
