Overview
We will not ‘move on’ until:
- Those responsible for the UK’s negligent, incompetent and corrupt response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused thousands of preventable deaths, are held to account
- There is full disclosure of all central government contracts awarded outside the normal tendering process since July 2019
- Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings are removed from Downing Street. They cannot be trusted to manage the Covid-19 pandemic, nor to deliver Brexit, without causing further significant harm
- All attempts by this government to undermine democracy are reversed
As long as Tory MPs look away, the preventable deaths, the dirty money and the undermining of democracy will be on their hands too.
They can look forward to explaining to their grandchildren how they watched over this negligent, incompetent and corrupt government and they did nothing.
If they ever wondered what they would have done in the 1930s during the rise of fascism and the collapse in democracies… they’re doing it now.
