The Covid Inquiry has been hearing evidence from the scientific leadership viewpoints, and it’s not good news for Rishi Sunak who insists that there were no objections to his Eat Out to Help Out Scheme. It appears that Sunak did not seek scientific approval, should have known he would not have gotten it, and it’s suggested that he was comfortable with the resultant deaths.

If Baron Cameron of Chipping Norton is unlikely to become PM again, simply remaining elsewhere in the Cabinet, I guess PM Lebedev is also unlikely. Perhaps a consideration if there's a need of a Minister for Overseas Donations…
A post today reports Cunnings saying Sunak 'Let them die, they've had a good innings,' I believe this report as Cimmings is not going to lie about this as that would destroy his witness credibility & he wishes so much to put in the knife. Many were, are not old. There are one million Long Covid cases. All this broke the NHS leaving many with PTSD & heartbreak & nurses & doctors Killed themselves. There must be laws under which such mass muderers can be charged?
Yes my boy brought Covid back from John Leggott and then I got it too. He was ill for a few days and I was sick for 20 days.
Two JSO protesters were given a three year and two year sentence for climbing up a bridge to peacefully protest, leading to the bridge being closed which caused disruption for 40 hours.
They have been denied the opportunity to appeal to the Supreme Court.
I hope that any legal action against the Tories take this length of sentence into account when considering any sentence they might face for the disruption they have caused.
If we're holding off on police investigations until the inquiry is done, should the "VIP lane" be left out so the police can get straight to it? Incompetence isn't illegal (at least in government) but corruption certainly is
Also we do have an extradition treaty with the USA, though I'm not sure it will count for much
Sorry, Phil. Johnson was my contemporary at Oxford and Classics finals were NOT "just a grade given by your tutor". They were a very demanding set of exams, as are all final exams at Oxford.
Misinformation is not usually your thing but you indulged in it here.
'Oh GOD, WHAT NOW? Did an interesting reaction of the NHS being broken & detailing suicides & heartbreak that I mention below.
The US and UK do, in fact, have an extradition treaty that was signed by both in 2003 and still stands to this day.
I worked right through the pandemic. I was a key worker – home shopping gorcery deliveries for people who couldn't leave their houses. I and my colleagues were a lifeline to some very lonely, sometimes frightened – sometimes even grieving – people. We all knew how bad it was because we were there on the front lines. So we weren't medical staff; we still did our bit. Partygate made me very angry when the story broke, but Eat Out To Help Out made me feel physically sick because I knew it could only make things worse. We all thought the policy was insane. It nearly killed one of my colleagues after their son went to one of these restaurants, caught the virus and brought it home to his parents. They were both in hospital, on assisted breathing, for two weeks, thanks to Doctor Death the Chancellor.
A lot of lives could have been saved if our media were as interested in the truth as the Covid Inquiry is.
They should all be in prison
3Blue1Brown did a great video on simulating an epidemic in March 2020. Even an idiot would be able to understand it. But tot de Pfeffel or Sunak.
In 1918 the astute rulers of that day and Era, discovered while all around were dieing from vitamin d deficiency, that when they put people out into the sun that within weeks everyone's got better,because the uvb rays from the sun when coming into contact with the skin produced vitamin d produced in your own body ,,,FREE OF CHARGE AND SINCE 1918 THIS DISCOVERY😮😮😮😮😮😮WAS AVAILABLE AS HARD EARNED THROUGH MILLIONS OF DEATHS ,,,FOR USE TODAY AND WAS IGNORED BY THIS CRIMINAL CABAL OF JOHNSTON TRUDEAU BIDEN ARDERN MORRISON,,,,THIS WAS NOTHING BUT A MONEY LAUNDERING SCAM AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DIED AS A RESULT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY AND THATS SCIENTIFIC FACT BROTHER….THE SUN IS FREE PHARMA WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMAN DESEASES WHICH ARE MOSTLY MAN MADE FROM THE GARBAGE FOOD PRODUCED TODAY TO MAKE EVERYONE ILL.THEY SHOULD ALL BE SENT TO THE HAGUE FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND TO SAY ANYTHING LESS IS IRRESPONSIBILITY AT ITS WORST😮😮😮😮😮😮😮THE SUN IS ALL WE NEEDMAND THATS A FACT,,,,☀ ☀ ☀ 😎 😎 😎

Oh Phil. You need to get a better knowledge of the SNP and the SNP bad rhetoric.
I know that the Septics will not extradite one of their own, most recently the Anne Sacoolas case, but would they refuse a request of a non American? I don't know.
They didn't have a clue on decency.
Lost my wife during the pandemic. Covid was only partially responsible for it. She had cancer also. It's too raw and painful to elaborate on. Needless to say my hatred for this government knows no boundaries.
Have to disagree with Phil's criticism of Johnson. Churchill never read charts. Won two world wars without charts or Sage.😂
Very good analysis Phil, as always. 😊
Does anyone really think that those responsible for this shiteshow will ever be criminally charged. There is far too much Parliamentary privileged for that to happen.
I sorry i hold the general public to account for this, I see on the comment section, government heads need to roll. The finest example of have of this e.g you wake up
In hospital, your informed that you got behind the wheel of your car and hit someone on the way home, but you’ve blacked out and cannot remember a single thing. It won’t matter if the incident will ever come back to you or remains a blank in life.
Point is before you consumed alcohol, you were aware that you could black out, you knew that it was illegal to drive, knowledgeable that alcohol increases risk of injury. The eat out campaign was the same, did anyone force you to go out, we’re you aware their was a higher risk of becoming Ill. So as a collective society we have to take the responsibility of our actions, no spooning this off, you killed your own, for a meal (last suppers all round)
Loathe as I am to defend the odious Johnson but when Vallance presented the "dark red line" evidence, I immediately understood that to mean that Johnson was unclear what that line represented, not which line was red. Maybe I'm wrong.
RICH RICHE SUNAK AND THE NEO-FASCIST TORY'S IN THE CABINET ARE ALL DISGUSTING PIECES OF HUMAN WASTE UTTERLY DESPICABLE
He should resign now how can he hold his head up anymore and who will listen to this cretin.
, eat out, help people too die with spread
Of COURSE Johnson, Hancock, Sunak, and Gove were NOT 'following the science.' That's because, as Micael Gove – in his infinite wisdom – has said:
'The country has had ENOUGH of experts.' This means that Gove, Sunak, Hancock and Johnson DESPISE, LOATHE and DETEST experts, ESPECIALLY when said experts give them news which is 'inconvenient.'
Phil – what do you mean 'The Americans are not keen on extraditing people?' The USA is VERY keen to extradite Julian Assange. VERY keen INDEED…
He lied in the HofC so nothing will stop him lying.
I watched Independent Sage every week. Did not feel any inclination at all to eat in restaurants and risk COVID pre- vaccine.
Well Labour said they will go after any tax payers money 'lost' on PPE and other contracts related to C19. But will they. Very unlikely for Lilly Law to go after anybody.
Said at the time a free food merrygoround will help to spread the virus. Blatantly obvious.
It is extremely disturbing to know politicians can kill us without consequence. Even become an un-elected PM.
Far as Johnson is concerned it's more an attitude issue. He has no empathy for anybody outside of his 'class' of people. Sunak is the same. They are clever people but their intelligence is tainted by their upper class superiority complex. In that sense they are indeed thick.
It has long been my dream that when Starmer comes to power he will use his influence as a former DPP to prosecute people for the mishandling of Covid and Brexit. I realise he will not be able to do so directly, but he surely has the legal knowledge and contacts to make it happen…
i didnt get the point of rishi's EOTHO policy? they made more money on take away and cost a small fortune due to the surge in cases!
07:58 – I strongly that abuses of power that amount to corruption, insider dealing, advantagement, suppression of evidence, tax evasion, etc. should be exceptionally pursued. Catching criminals is definitely about sending messages to other "corruptos" – and most certainly it should be about recovering "ill gotten gains"!
"…no objections to his Eat Out to Help Out Scheme!"
Every right-thinking person in this country who was smarter than the IACGMOOH audience knew this would spread the virus about!
do we have an extradition arrangement with India?
Re NCA. It's absolutely crucial that pressure is NOT put on the NCA or police to address criminal factors until the tories are out of office. The reason being the Tories can simply veto investigation. This is what they did about Brexit collusion with foreign entities. They thwarted investigations by Police, NCA, Electoral Commission, Mi6 and Parliament. The police have already received complaints of criminal negligence on covid. At the moment they have decided to "neither proceed nor dismiss". That is absolutely the RIGHT thing to do as there is no point in moving forward with an investigation while the culprits have all the power. Hate and Wait!
