🧵It is wrong to describe the proposed action by barristers on 11/4/22 a ‘strike’, still less as “totally unwarranted” as Dominic Rabb did in the Commons last week. Imagine you were a jobbing builder, with a full diary of jobs of your own to do. 1/

Rishi Sunak:
"Only the Conservatives can be trusted with taxpayers money"
£4bn in fraud written off.
£37b for a non existent Test and Trace system.

… and here’s the letter.
Sir Keir Starmer writes to Lord Bew calling for unprecedented review of Evgeny Lebedev’s peerage.
He says Bew must publish original advice in which appointments commission blocked it.

All 27 national governments of the EU agreed, announced & implemented its Ukraine asylum policy within 7 days of the invasion.
Meanwhile, Brexit Britain still hasn’t announced its Ukraine asylum scheme after 16 days.

NEW: Boris Johnson awards Gavin Williamson a knighthood.
Why *now*? In middle of Russian crisis?
