Some righteous fury from @KamranAbbasi on the "state corruption on a grand scale" of this Government's response to the pandemic. https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4425?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_term=hootsuite&utm_content=sme&utm_campaign=usage
So many of the outrages Kamran identifies we at @GoodLawProject are challenging by judicial review.
The disgraceful £100bn Moonshot project, embarked on without the consent of Parliament or consulting its own expert body, the NSC ( https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/operation-moonshot/).

The Government's disgraceful attempt to suppress research proving it was wrong to spend £75m on the basis of biased research ( https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/abingdon-health/).
Johnson's transparent cronyism - appointing his friends and relatives to key public health positions without open competition ( https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/time-to-end-cronyism/).
We are also bringing proceedings in relation to the grant of lucrative contracts to friends or associates without any competition: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/a-river-to-my-people/
And in relation to Government's flagrant breach of the law requiring that it be transparent about to whom it is giving contracts. https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/fight-for-transparency/
And in relation to the inexplicable choice of counterparties with whom to spend billions on (often duff) PPE, again without any competition. https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/108million/
The BBC has not asked anyone from @GoodLawProject to appear on a single piece of broadcast media in connection with any of this litigation. (It carried a brief pre-recorded clip back in August.) And indeed when it broadcasts stories about our work it omits mention of our name.
Nevertheless, despite the dominant position it occupies in our media, and its feeble stance on these issues, we are hugely proud to have helped push them (rightly) to the forefront of public attention.
As @KamranAbbasi says: "When good science is suppressed, people die."
