In England the Conservatives will allow private companies on NHS boards spending public money. In Wales Labour is keeping our NHS a public not a privatised service
UK Government eases lockdown knowing it will cause avoidable mass infection, as the test & trace system is not fit for purpose. This is criminal negligence on an industrial scale
Cummings takes over UK security services by removing heads of civil service Mark Sedwill & Foreign Office Simon McDonald before tour of national security sites. He must be stopped
A Public Vote on the deal would take 20 weeks & is the only way to resolve Brexit. The gov proposing to have a 3rd general election in 4 years shows they are running scared. It should get on with putting down the Bill, let us vote on it & then let the Public vote on it too
UK trade is 14% down as the world is 8.2% up so we’re 22.2% worse than the rest of the world thanks to Brexit deal. UK needs to align with or be in the Single Market & Customs Union.

Lord Frost, whose negotiation lost us 68% of EU exports, is given responsibility for EU relations as, once again, incompetent loyalty is put before national interest
Johnson abandons Human Rights Convention, breaks international law, excludes MPs from debates - stabbing our fundamental values of democracy, human rights & the rule of law under the smoke of pandemic, recession & No Deal on the road to absolute power
The taxpayer would have saved £8billion had UK Govt used public heath authorities & councils for PPE - as in Labour Wales where it cost a third as much - instead of profiteering private cronies
It is illegal to exclude 250 MPs from debates and for Parliament to remove the source of its legitimacy in a vote that excludes 250 MPs.

Unless a deal can be agreed by parliament and the people Article 50 should be revoked and we should stay in the EU. We must rule out the economic chaos, food and medicine shortages which would result from a no-deal Brexit.
My Revocation of Article 50 Bill ensures we stay in the EU unless a Deal is agreed by MPs & People. Brexit is a betrayal of both socialism and conservatism
Police fail to keep notes of their decision to ban Sarah Everard Vigil & wrote to Priti Patel saying Extinction Rebellion protests give a ‘much-needed opportunity to give police greater powers to curb protests’. Police need more accountability not power.
To save jobs & avoid food shortages UK could agree Single Market product standards & time-limited freedom of movement for workers.
Instead Brexit Red tape means UK food shortages & falling exports with one EU food lorry needing 300 product certificates!
Water companies can prevent raw sewerage overflow by water capture upstream, in butts to catch rooftop rainfall & storage at water processing plants.

British business are tangled in £7 billion a year in red, white & blue Brexit tape, exports are delayed and jobs & companies move to the EU.
UK must lead on human rights & democracy in Hong Kong by championing EU Parliament calls for sanctions against Chinese officials abusing human rights, making China accountable in the International Court of Justice & appointing a UN Special Envoy on Hong Kong.
The Government must accept the Supreme Court’s judgement that it acted illegally in closing democracy & not fan the flames of fascism by pitting the people against Parliament & our courts
David Cameron gave credibility to leaving the EU by offering a referendum from 2013. He valued getting UKIP voters to vote Tory to beat Labour in 2015 ahead of what he knew to be the national interest. For that he should never be forgiven.
Former prime minister David Cameron tells a committee of MPs that the Brexit referendum “was properly thought through” and not an “afterthought”.

Right-wing Tories/ERG walk out when they can’t interrupt my speech calling for voters to be given the final say on the EU Deal. Whatever tin-eared Brexiteers think, democracy didn’t stop in 2016
China will be encouraged to honour the Sino-British Joint Declaration to continue democracy in Hong Kong if City of London capital flows via HK are tightened.
Tomorrow the Brexiters must stop talking about unicorns and start justifying the outcomes of Brexit starting with blockages at the border, then gradual factory closures and then fast-forward to 2024 to answer the question “how have things improved for you?”
Chilling warning that Brexit strategy “very slippery slope” towards “dictatorship” or “tyranny”, says ex-President of the Supreme Court: Internal Market Bill allows breach of international law and exempts Government from legal challenge.
If we Brexit Wales will lose £440 per person from EU funding that helped to double the size of Swansea University. Instead, Brexit means hundreds of redundancies from universities & businesses like Ford & Airbus leaving Wales.
