@RejoinEU When scrutiny becomes selective, it stops serving the public and starts serving power. A free press should question every government—equally. If they only find their voice when Labour’s in, the silence before speaks volumes.

Evidence of the payoffs was given to a parliamentary committee investigating Russian interference in UK politics. Their findings, that formed the Russia Report, were blocked before the crucial 2019 general election by then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Christophe Steele supplied specific information to the committee that came from inside Russia: ‘There was definitely money involved,’ he says. #accountabilitymatters #russiareport
"Like a Downing Street party, they’ve left a mountain of mess for this government to clean up. Arrogant, reckless and irresponsible to the very end, they’ll go down in history as the government that fiddled while the country burned."
Silks choose their words carefully, words being tools of their trade.
Use of "fiddled" is no accident, hopefully, indicating a forth coming reckoning, that #accountabilitymatters. Sunak enriched his family by £121m in his time in govt.
"The govt fast-tracked the company after its British reps sent an email to Cummings, chief adviser to then PM, Johnson, in 7/20....the fast-tracking of Innova was supported by the then chancellor Sunak’s team at the Treasury.
Previously little-known Cbusinessman’s fortune was transformed by the British taxpayer through 11 govt contracts worth approximately £4.3bn for lateral flow tests (LFTs) made in China and sold by Innova."
Bent bastards! #AccountabilityMatters
"The 9 are among more than 40 people alleged to have died as a result of being forced out of Greek territorial waters, or taken back out to sea after reaching Greek islands.
We showed footage of 12 people being loaded into a Greek coastguard boat, & then abandoned on a dinghy, to a former senior Greek coastguard officer. When he got up, & with his mic still on, he said it was "obviously illegal" & "an international crime".
Η απόλυτη ντροπή. #accountabilitymatters
"Asked if fossil fuel companies “should be held legally accountable for their contributions to climate change”, 62% of voters said yes, suggesting majority support for the existing civil lawsuits against oil companies. That included 84% of Democrats, 59% of Independents and 40% of Republicans. The results confirm a majority opinion suggested by earlier national and state polls."
Yes! #ClimateJustice #AccountabilityMatters

“This charge is meant for mafia and organised crime. This charge criminalises every act of support towards the group Letzte Generation. This creates an immense chilling effect on all climate protests in Germany.”
But the organised criminal groups knowingly peddling products that they knew to be prejudicial to the planet's wellbeing & to our survivability can carry on putting profit before people & planet.

"Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, told CNN that he is seeking arrest warrants for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, among others, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity."

Zahawi said: “I wish we had held our nerve. Many colleagues got spooked. If colleagues had stepped back and just realised Twitter was not the country, we’d have probably made a very different decision.”
#ToryScum former Chancellor, who had to pay HMRC £5m 'coz he's a corrupt, tax dodging POS, laudes the Prime Minister who had to resign for being a habitual liar. And it's SM's fault for not towing the party line, like our compromised press.
Wow! The International Criminal Court today made public it has *issued two arrest warrants* against Russian presidential dictatorial war-aggressor *Vladimir Putin* & his "Commissioner for children's rights" in Putin's office, *Maria Lvova-Belova*, for war crimes involving the criminal deportation & transfer of children to Russia.
Reminder:
According to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article II *forcible transfer of children from one group to another*, committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group
constitutes the crime of genocide!
