Been announced this evening that Public Health England will be disbanded and a new organisation will be created to merge COVID-19 and test and trace to create a 'National Institute For Health Protection'. Dido Harding is tipped to run it.

Dido Harding presided over talktalk when they had a security breach back in 2015 and customers had their data hacked. She is also the one behind test and trace which has been a shambles and is a jockey club board member. She is also friends with Matt Hancock who is the Newmarket MP and is married to a Tory MP who is on a thinktank which wants to abolish the NHS.

This is just another story of Tory cronyism and the "f### anybody who criticises us mentality" that this bunch of f###### charlatans have attached to themselves. Just add it to the huge list of misdemeanours - THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ANY MORE AND THAT'S A FACT!!! They should not be governing this country - a total disgrace and an embarrassment!!! What a sham!!

We've banged on long enough about what was coming, no point getting surprised about it now.

The tories and their mates are going to get severely rich off the back of covid/brexit....This is a godsend to them. There was also lots of rewards for labour MPs who betrayed their party and leader like Ian Austin,John Woodcock,John Mann,Gisele Stuart etc etc. I'm sure the ermine and big salaries were just a coincidence!

Aye! Lets not forget the Labour Party traitors re such a massive issue that will badly affect the whole country - again despicable cronyism exposed in a such a political system that is so glaringly backward, undemocratic and unconstitutional and with so many hypocrites caught up in their addiction to their own interests and self-satisfaction and at a time when this country and other countries globally need radical change to counter global warming and many other eco, socio and fiscal challenges that will eventually bring down certain governments (and unions!!!) if they don't conform and "take a reality check".

Tories and Tory voters are willing to disrupt, sell off and demolish just about everything so long as property prices remain undisrupted and they can borrow as much money as they like.

And there is zero leadership - the exam fiasco rumbles on, so sad to listen to kids in tears on R5 last night over their downgraded results and where the xxxx is bunter ??

These heartbreaking scenes are replicated right across England, particularly in more deprived areas. The Education Sec, Gavin Williams (why is this ex Defence Sec in this job???????????????????), warned, "The danger is that pupils will be over-promoted into jobs that are beyond their competence". Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??????????? An effective interview process normally prevails Mr "idiot" Williamson!!!! Coming from one of the most incompetent governments in living memory, that is really hard to take.
In Scotland, Labour and the Tories called for a Scottish govt U-turn on exam moderation and then "lost the plot" when Swinney announced a return to teacher assessments!!! Scot Labour's invisible leader, Leonard, moved a motion of no confidence in Swinney while it was so noticeable that his boss in London, Starmer, is now backing teacher assessments (follow the SNP lead said Starmer!!) and at the same time, Welsh Labour was downgrading 42% of pupils' grades - DOHHHHHHHH!!!!!! As for the Scot Tories? Caught red-handed looking both ways on Scottish Education - forced to pull embarrassing tweets, they claimed, without irony, it was because they couldn't spell lol , as opposed to be total rank hypocrites. And less than a week into office, their newly crowned Scot leader, Ross, showed himself incapable of criticising his own UK Tory cohorts for not doing what he demanded of the Scottish govt and while his stand-in, colonel/Baroness Davidson "fell flat on her face" at FM's PMQs on the subject

[ritchiebaby]

Without wanting to say the Government/Exam Boards are right in their attempts at fair "moderation", it is worthwhile to point out that previous teachers' predictions were over-estimated in 75% of university applications. In these "unprecedented times", it can only be fair to accept the current teachers' assessments as a one-off and be prepared to go back to the existing exam results in future years. There is nothing to say that they are wrong.

Finally the Brit govt stance collapses - teacher assessments favoured!!
