Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

If you or I put a private sewer discharging waste into one of our rivers or lakes, there'd be total *hell* to pay.
But a whole industry doesn't just get away with constantly polluting, the government makes a priority of fighting for their right to continue.
The result is our rivers are dying.
Much of the £10.9bn UK Covid scheme fraud 'beyond recovery', report says.
Lack of checks on Eat Out, Bounce back loans, furlough support & more.
£13.6bn spent on 38bn PPE items, 11bn unused. £10bn loss from over-ordering, £324m fraud.
Organized looting. Will anyone be held to account?
Rand Paul: "It has not been the history of the US to kill people who are out of combat. Even if there is a war, which most of us dispute -- that a bunch of people who are unarmed allegedly running drugs is a war -- we still don't kill people when they're incapacitated ... it's illegal and immoral."

The answer, of course, is that this govt is on the side of the profiteering private water companies, not us.
With this there would have been no Mo Farah. No Freddie Mercury. No Lenny Henry. No George Michael. No Meera Syal. No Sadiq Khan. No Sajid Javid. No Salman Rushdie. No Hanif Kureishi.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man

Whately (Tory) walks onto #BBCLauraK and is instantly crash-landing: whines about Motability (which Tories expanded), admits she’s got no idea how many people use it, gets schooled by Kuenssberg that it’s 1.1m not “millions,” then squeaks, “I was making a general point.” Absolute Tory clown parade.

Funny how that energy was missing during 14 years of Tory rule.
So the real question:
Where were you then, Laura?
Your scrutiny felt absent, and Boris Johnson, whom you once called ‘gifted politician’, never got this heat.
