BREAKING Baroness Hallett, Chair of Johnson Partygate inquiry, has issued a legal notice to Cabinet Office for not handing over all of Johnson's messages and diaries. She has power over them legally. Johnson has thrown a dicky fit. #Diddums news.sky.com/story/covid-inq…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Baroness Hallett is chair of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, not the separate "Partygate" parliamentary inquiry, which is chaired by Harriet Harman. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Covid-… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons_P…

Strike shows the NHS cannot cope without nurses, union leader warns The warning comes as nurses begin a 28-hour strike in a dispute with the UK Government over pay independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

We should not forget that this government is using our taxpayer money to indemnify train operators against losses on strike days. That is appalling!

Our country is broken. Everywhere you go. Motorways with huge dangerous potholes. Hours to wait for basic treatment. People dying in ambulances. Teacher shortage Nurse shortage Doctor shortage Carer shortage. Low wages Nothing works. Vote the Tories out on May 4th.

Car parking charges: • NHS Nurse: £1,300 per year. • MP: £0.00 per year. Ban NHS car parking charges. Just for a start.

The Tories are happy to take the Royal College of Nursing to court. But not Michelle Mone.
