If you wondering why the U.K. government didn’t want to reveal volume of vaccines secured and were furious with Scottish government for publishing details, well you don’t have to now 👇

All this opprobrium raining down on DC but the notion that he solely owns this is absurd. We had twenty odd years pre-referendum when leaders could have reconciled the populace to our EU membership and all it entails. It’s surely a multi generational political failure
Meanwhile David Cameron and Nick Timothy are probably pootling about fairly happily somewhere, thank you very much. Thanks, guys.

It should never have come to this. Five days after his medicine was confiscated Billy is in hospital. Not a single paediatric neurologist recommended by the Home Office returned Charlotte’s call. Sickening
Billy Caldwell went 300 days without epileptic seizures. Since his cannabis oil was seized at customs he has had 5 this week.
Now he has been rushed to hospital with mum Charlotte. This is down to home office cruelty, who are sitting on his prescribed life-saving meds. Shameful
