Liz Truss: she slipped her buddy Andrew Mills £150 million for useless PPE, launching a huge corruption scandal in the process. Now the Tories have quietly dropped him from his position as an unpaid advisor to the Board of Trade.
Some might say it’s poetic justice that Andrew Mills, the man who advised Liz Truss to buy unusable face masks for the NHS, has lost his position as an advisor to the Board of Trade.
But what’s happened to all the money that she paid the firm he also (as it happens) advises, Ayanda Capital?
Was that repaid?
If not, then it seems the loss of his unpaid position – as part of a wider reshuffle and not even connected to the PPE scandal – is no punishment at all.

Liam Fox: he handed over huge wodges of government secrets to the Russians and the Tories told you Jeremy Corbyn was somehow to blame.
The Tory government – and its fans in the UK mass media – really did a number on the public with this one.
It seems that Russian hackers broke into then-International Trade Secretary Liam Fox’s personal email account to get the information – which should not have been held there in any event.
Not only that, but they did this by asking Fox for his account details – and like the wet-behind-the-ears damnfool he is, he handed them over of his own free will.
That is what we’re now being told.
Fox was apparently targeted by a “spear phishing” email – a tactic that is so obvious, primary schoolchildren know to avoid them.
The information he handed over made it possible for the hackers to take material from his email account on multiple occasions between July 12 and October 2, 2019.
It is not known whether the information on key briefings was stolen after he resigned from the cabinet on July 24. If it was, then what was he doing, still possessing those details?
Details of the UK-US deal were then published by an anonymous hacker online, where Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour team discovered them and publicised the fact that the Conservatives – if re-elected in December – planned to sell off those parts of the NHS that could be used to make a profit to fatcat US corporations.
And the media said this meant Corbyn was in cahoots with the Russians.
And most of the UK electorate believed it and voted the Tories in with a huge majority – ensuring that there would be no way to stop the big NHS sell-off.
The lie was resurrected last month, when it was used as a “dead cat” to distract from the revelation in the so-called “Russia Report” that the Tories created a welcoming environment for Russians to launder money in the UK, and looked the other way rather than even consider Russian interference in our elections and referendums.
So Corbyn was doorstepped by a grinning gang of BBC TV reporters and a load of flapdoodle was published in the papers.
In fact, it seems he was among the last to know.
According to Skwawkbox, the Torygraph managed to get hold of the information two days before the Russians!
Of course the Cabinet Office has said
the Government has very robust systems in place to protect the IT systems of officials and staff.
But if you believe that, after all the other Tory lies revealed above, then you really have got the government you deserve.

No pay rise for nurses: by keeping the payroll as low as possible, aren’t the Tories making the NHS more attractive to US corporate buyers?
The Tories have denied nurses a pay rise that they have granted to other public sector workers including teachers and doctors.
It seems that, while these other professions are to get a raise “recognising their efforts on the frontline during the battle against COVID-19”, nurses – after many of their colleagues died on the Covid-19 “frontline” – are to be ignored.
The Tories say nurses are already benefiting from a series of pay hikes imposed in 2017 – but nursing representatives say this is blurring the line between professional progression and a pay rise.
Certainly there is a difference between the Tory claim that the average nurse will “receive an average 4.4 per cent rise this year” and the 1.65 per cent the vast majority of nurses had.
Here’s a thought, though: The Tories just voted en masse to ensure that the NHS is included in any trade deal with the United States.
If they’re about to hand over such a large concern to new, corporate, profit-driven owners, they’ll want to ensure that it has relatively low operating costs – and the best way to do that is to keep payroll costs down, what with wages being the highest cost in most businesses.

This Site has already mentioned the Tory NHS betrayal so let’s go over the details.
First thing to bear in mind is that when a Tory refers to “our” NHS, they mean their NHS. They consider it to be their property, to dispose of it as they please.
And yesterday evening it became clear that despite all protestations to the contrary, they intend to hand it over to US corporations as part of a post-Brexit trade deal that will kill free healthcare in the United Kingdom.
In response to a Trade Bill currently going through Parliament, Labour had put down an amendment that would have barred any deal which “undermines or restricts” a comprehensive public-funded health service, free at the point of delivery.
It would have banned any deal that undermined the ability “to maintain the quality and safety of health or care services”, and would also have legally guaranteed the UK’s ability to control the pricing of medicines, and maintained the current level of protection for patient data.
Tory MPs voted the amendment down – along with a separate Labour bid to keep “chlorine-washed” chicken and other poor-quality US foods out of the UK.
All that spent energy on clapping those hands together, getting the odd selfie on the doorstep then Tory MPs march through the division lobby to sell the #NHS down the river #NHSNotForSalehttps://t.co/o5WUQDOtb5
You don’t need me to point out the obvious, but I’ll do it anyway. This means:
The Tories want a trade deal that undermines a comprehensive public-funded health service, free at the point of delivery. They plan to put an end to the NHS as we know it.
The Tories want a trade deal that will force poor-quality and unsafe health/care services on the people of the UK.
The Tories are quite happy to enter a trade deal that means the UK will pay more for medicines, even though these deals are meant to ensure the opposite.
The Tories are happy to make patients’ confidential information public if it makes them a quid or two.
And the Tories are quite happy to give you food poisoning – or worse – if they can make a quid or two out of it.
Those are facts. You can argue about the wording if you like, but the meaning of what Tory MPs have done is clear.
If your Tory MP participated in this wholesale betrayal of the British people, then you should complain in no uncertain terms. You can find out if they did by visiting this site.
I see from the list that This Writer’s own MP – Fay Jones (Brecon and Radnorshire) – supported this betrayal. I’ll let you know how she responds to my own complaint.
One more thing: you – and the entire UK electorate – were led up the garden path by both Donald Trump and Boris Johnson. Only Jeremy Corbyn told you the facts of the NHS sell-off – and the UK electorate, like a herd of sheep, ignored him because they were told to by the UK’s Tory-supporting mass media.
The same media representatives ignored the NHS vote in favour of the Russia Report. I don’t agree with Cornish Damo that it’s a “dead cat” – because the issue of any foreign country affecting the way ours is run is important – but he makes some very good points here:
"These uncensored documents leave Boris Johnson's denials in tatters.. he tried to cover it up.. but today it's been exposed.. Now we know the truth… our NHS is up for sale." 💯 @jeremycorbyn#CorbynWasRightpic.twitter.com/zvjrNlCM3Q
Never forget that when Jeremy Corbyn pulled out the blue prints for the NHS sell off the rabid MSM were more angry with him for not revealing the person who leaked that report.
Donald Trump had said last year “everything with the trade deal is on the table”, before U-turning (presumably after being worded by Boris Johnson) and saying of the NHS: “I don’t see it being on the table.”
Johnson himself said in October: “In any future trade negotiations with our country, our national health service will never be on the table.”
Clearly by “never” he meant “very soon”. Not an easy mistake to make so let’s conclude that he was lying.
So the public chose to believe the liar rather than Jeremy Corbyn. No wonder a new Twitter hashtag has emerged: #CorbynWasRight
Slow hand clap to those who gave the Tories an 80 seat majority. The NHS is now unprotected in trade deals, just like @jeremycorbyn warned. 2/3 of Bankruptcies in the US are directly linked to healthcare bills.#CorbynWasRighthttps://t.co/L6uMPCBlZW

One in every five adults has less than £100 in savings. Shall we write to our MPs, the BBC, Sky News and all the others and ask them whether the private health schemes to which they obviously belong run budget deals?

Loadsamoney: Boris Johnson and his party are rolling in it, and can expect much more, courtesy of Russia and the USA. You are going to suffer like you’ve never suffered before.
Anybody who voted ‘Conservative’ last December in the belief that they would be better-off must be really kicking themselves now.
Today we have learned that the Tories took money from Russians and then looked the other way while Russia interfered with our general elections – and possibly the Brexit referendum. The arrogant Tories have said they won’t even bother with a retrospective investigation of what happened (in case it incriminates them, perhaps).
Within the last 24 hours, the Tories voted to ensure that the National Health Service will be part of a future trade deal with the United States of America, meaning that health care in the UK will become an asset of US corporations if any such deal goes through.
Allow me to expand on this.
The Tories have already reneged on a promise that they would not allow diseased US-manufactured chlorinated chicken into the UK, meaning anybody who eats it is more likely to contract food poisoning.
Now we can see that anybody who does become ill in that way will not be able to afford help from a doctor, as they will be charged exorbitant US rates. Buying insurance will be no good because the insurance companies actively search for ways to avoid paying out (see my pieces about Unum).
Jeremy Corbyn warned us that the NHS would be privatised before the election last year – he showed you the documents! – but you were told not to vote for him, and like a herd of sheep you did as you were told.
So: possibly because of Russian interference, if you voted ‘Conservative’, you voted to harm your own health and to ensure that you would not be able to gain access to the healthcare you would need in order to get better.
That’s on you!
By all means, blame the Tories if you like. But they are Tories – it is pointless to say, “You told us you wouldn’t sell the NHS or allow chlorinated chicken, or allow the Russians to mess with our democracy,” because their answer is clear: “You knew what we were when you voted for us. We’re Tories. Lying to you is in our nature.”
Oh, and by the way, under the Tories, borrowing has reached a record high. The UK is in more debt than it has every been in the history of the country, and that is all because of the Tories.
Remember back in 2010 when they conned you into voting for them in that year’s election? They said their austerity would eliminate the national deficit by 2015, and they would go on from there to eliminate the debt as well. They lied.
And it means there will be no money for future, non-Tory governments to buy back what the Tories are selling – without creating a debt crisis as Tory lenders refuse to help out.
And for once, the saying is true.
We’re all in the mire together – because you voted Tory.

Not for sale: the NHS shouldn’t be – unless you’re a super-rich Tory or a member of Keir Starmer’s new Labour Party, because they’re the only people who can afford privatised health.
Read this:
This is probably the most telling comment of the Starmer leadership. Faux patriotism counts more than stopping American corporations buying parts of the NHS. https://t.co/v5romZqLxU
To This Writer, it is an act of shocking treachery for a senior member of the Labour Party – let alone its leader and Shadow Foreign Secretary – to hide evidence that a UK government is willing to sell the National Health Service, or at least all the parts of it that make it valuable to UK citizens, to foreign corporate interests for profit.
Labour founded the NHS in 1948, remember, based on the information in the so-called Beveridge Report, by the Liberal William Beveridge.
The Conservatives opposed its creation bitterly – although you wouldn’t know that to hear them talking about it today. It’s amazing how people’s minds can change when they realise they can make a huge wodge of cash, isn’t it?
And now it seems that Labour’s sell-out leaders are keen to jump onto the sell-off wagon.
It seems no matter which party the public support, we’re going to end up with a privatised health system that only the richest of us will be able to afford. If you want to know why you won’t be able to pay for health care, look up all my articles about the criminal US insurance firm Unum.
If you know anybody who voted Conservative in December, or for Starmer before April 4, why not ask them if they knew they actually intended to end their own entitlement to medical treatment?

Dominic Raab: his pretty words about human rights mean nothing, now that his colleague Liz Truss is selling bombs to Saudi Arabia again.
How utterly disgusting.
The Conservative government has made a great show of imposing sanctions on human rights abusers – while still selling weapons to the same people so they can continue abusing others.
The UK’s poor excuse for a Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, announced sanctions against individuals in Saudi Arabia, Russia, Myanmar and North Korea including asset freezes and travel bans, imposed immediately.
“Those with blood on their hands won’t be free … to waltz into this country, to buy up property on the Kings Road, do their Christmas shopping in Knightsbridge, or siphon dirty money through British banks,” Raab told parliament.
Oh, really?
What about the leaders of Saudi Arabia which – as a nation – has been harming human rights left, right and centre?
The Tories have just finished a review of that nation’s behaviour – forced on it by a court ruling that suspended arms sales there.
They are resuming sales of arms to Saudi Arabia despite having found “credible incidents of concern”.
The Tories said even though they represented “possible” breaches of international humanitarian law (IHL), the UK government viewed these as “isolated incidents”.
What utter drivel. The Tories just want to give Saudis more weapons to continue bombing Yemen into the Stone Age (for example).
Indeed, pathetic self-serving cheese-loving International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said as much:
“The undertaking that my predecessor gave to the Court – that we would not grant any new licences for the export of arms or military equipment to Saudi Arabia for possible use in Yemen – falls away.”
Since the bombing of Yemen started in March 2015 the UK government has issued export licences worth £5.3 billion, including £2.5 billion of licences relating to bombs, missiles and other types of ordinance.
In one stroke, she made a nonsense of her colleague Raab’s statement that “global Britain will be an even stronger force for good in the world, in the years ahead”.
“Stronger”? You have to be a force for good in the first place – and that clearly isn’t true.
Remember also that the UK itself is guilty of “grave and systematic violations of human rights” in its treatment of sick and disabled people, according to the United Nations. The Tories haven’t lifted a finger to stop those violations in four years since the finding was announced.
This Writer supposes that the government had to find something to do with all the weapons it won’t need for the UK’s own armed forces, now that they are being trimmed down almost to nothing.
Defence chiefs have drawn up plans to slash the army by a quarter and reduce the Royal Marines to a bit part as part of Boris Johnson’s defence and security review.
In the worst-case scenario:
• Army manpower would fall from 74,000 to 55,000
• The Royal Marines commando brigade would be disbanded, losing its artillery, engineers and landing craft. Royal Navy minesweepers would also face the axe
• The RAF would shut several airbases and shed its fleet of Hercules transporters.
There are other cuts but those are behind The Times‘s paywall. The government’s own website doesn’t seem to have this information.
The defence cuts would make the UK ripe for attack, of course, should any aggressive country feel like it; these cuts are an offence against the government’s first responsibility, which is to defend the UK’s people.
But Boris Johnson isn’t interested in that. He’s too busy raiding the national piggy-bank for all it’s worth.

Sacrilege: Donald Trump had people tear-gassed so he could have this picture taken, outside a church, with a Bible. It seems he hasn’t read the New Testament… and if he stepped inside the church, would he disappear in a puff of brimstone?
Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas K. Lane
UK prime minister Boris Johnson is being urged to ban the sale of riot control equipment to the United States in response to shocking images of police attacking peaceful protesters against the killing of George Floyd.
Trump seems to be entirely out of control. He had peaceful protesters tear-gassed so he could take part in a photo shoot in front of a church, clutching a Bible, in what many people (including myself) may describe as a blasphemy.
I’m home & still processing that I saw peaceful protesters teargassed outside the White House so Pres Trump could walk to St. John's Episcopal Church.
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who oversees the church, said she is “outraged” to see it used in a photo-op.
This is symptomatic of the attitude he has displayed since public opinion boiled over in the wake of George Floyd’s killing. Many – including media pundits – believe he has turned the corner into dictatorship:
CNN anchor claims US is teetering on dictatorship with Trump as president https://t.co/8sHn64Lz8l
There have been exceptions, though – and it is important to note them. Not all in the police or the military agree with Trump that peaceful demonstrations should be put down with an iron fist:
It seems US police have been learning “brutality and repression” in specially-funded trips abroad. I make no comment about the country providing the training.
A lot of what’s happening today, the militaristic & oppressive attitude of US cops toward their fellow citizens can be understood by reading this article. ‘U.S. Police Routinely Travel to Israel to Learn Methods of Brutality and Repression’ https://t.co/6t8kXKshE1
The good news is that, after Derek Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the killing of Mr Floyd, the three other officers involved are also to face criminal charges. It has been said that Tou Thao watched while J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas K. Lane helped hold the victim down:
Three officers involved with George Floyd's death to be criminally charged, attorney says https://t.co/bx2OKqaKH9
Back with the president, it seems the affair has killed Trump’s approval rating among US citizens. Now 54 per cent of them disapprove of him – the highest disapproval rating for any US president.
Trump should be happy – he’s always trying to say he’s top at something, and now he is.
FUN FACT: Trump’s disapproval rating has climbed to 54% — the highest disapproval for any president in U.S. history.
All of this takes us back to the UK’s response to all this. Boris Johnson has been urged to stop exporting arms and riot equipment to the United States, so it cannot be used to harm peaceful protesters in the way we’ve seen in the videos (above):
UK opposition parties urge Boris Johnson to suspend export of arms and riot gear to US https://t.co/dcsL0VQrh6
.@EmilyThornberry demands the suspension of exports of riot control equipment to the United States, pending a review of whether they are being used in response to the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests in American cities – https://t.co/rJ6f7Q55ih
According to the Independent article, neither Johnson nor any government spokesperson has yet commented on the issue.
This Writer’s opinion? There won’t be any cessation of arms trading with the US – it makes Tory-donor UK firms a fortune every day.
And Trump supporters can’t help shooting themselves in the foot (if only metaphorically). After Piers Morgan tweeted critically about the depths to which Trump has dragged his country, a US Twitter user made it clear that they did not want people from the UK to be involved in that country’s business. The response from a Brit was well-deserved and entirely appropriate:
Worst coronavirus death toll in the world, 40 million job losses, America burning as you vow to shoot black protestors after a black man is murdered by a racist cop… and you want THANKS? Get a bloody grip Mr President. 👇 https://t.co/EZqjygX8L5

It seems there has been a sudden proliferation of posts on the social media from Tory supporters saying Jeremy Corbyn has been lying and the Tories aren’t selling the NHS.
If that’s true, why are the Tories selling 309 separate parts of the NHS as I type these words?
So don’t let some idiotic Tory troll lie to you about the NHS.
Pay attention to Marcus:
Our NHS had been for sale for a long time now. The 2012 Heath & Social Care Act laid it open. It's why private companies like Virgin have sued the NHS for not getting contracts. Currently, about 26% of money you pay through tax for the NHS goes to private firms (@CHPIthinktank) https://t.co/DlyvbsafTq
The plan, of course, is to ensure that 100 per cent of your money goes into the hands of private companies, that you end up spending money you can’t afford on private health insurance you shouldn’t need, and that you eventually go bankrupt anyway because the insurance companies won’t pay out (Unum).
Already there are parts of England where certain services aren’t available because they were handed out to a private contractor who decided it would not be cost-effective to provide them in those postcodes.
Those people have to pay extra for such services.
I say they pay “extra” because you need to remember that they have already bought those services by paying into the NHS via the taxation system.
These people are already victims of the great Tory NHS rip-off.
And the plan is to ensure that you are next.
Are you really so gullible that you’ll let them screw you over so badly? Are you?

This is conclusive: the 2019 general election is now a fight for the survival of the National Health Service.
In a press conference, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn brandished 451 pages of government papers detailing trade talks between the Conservative government and the Trump administration in the USA.
They make it clear that Mr Johnson will sell the NHS to US-based private companies if he wins the election on December 12:
"We've now got evidence that under Boris Johnson the NHS is on the table and will be up for sale."
Jeremy Corbyn says Labour have obtained an unredacted 451-page report which shows there are "secret talks for a deal with Donald Trump after Brexit". pic.twitter.com/gPUGt3IUEj
According to the papers, “total market access” for US companies to all UK service sectors is the baseline from which the trade talks will start.
It is also worth noting that the US demand no mention of climate change in any deal – so if Mr Johnson is elected, the UK’s commitment to carbon neutrality, by any date, will be canclled. Apparently BoJob wants to see us burn.
Mr Trump and his people want a “no deal” Brexit – so any claim by Mr Johnson that he is going to agree a deal with the EU seems to be a lie.
And the talks cover a range of other sectors including financial services, the British film industry, UK nursing qualifications, workers’ rights, data privacy, pesticide control, sugar content labelling and even gender discrimination rules. These represent a major power-grab.
One key sentence in this document is the killer. "Everything that isn't expressly excluded is included" . It's the goodbye NHS sentence.
International trade secretary Liz Truss has responded by saying that Mr Corbyn is “out-and-out lying to the public about what these documents contain”. But that’s a hard stance to maintain when he handed out copies to members of the press.
According to the BBC, Mr Johnson also said the claims were “total nonsense”.
But Mr Corbyn has an impeccable record of honesty while Mr Johnson has been exposed as a liar, time and time again. Here are a few examples:
Here are all the lies, spin & blatantly false statements Boris Johnson inflicted on the public last night. In doing so he treated us with contempt. If you think people deserve the truth please RT pic.twitter.com/5MjjM7eaK7
If Jeremy Corbyn says Boris Johnson is in the process of selling off the NHS, then I believe him – and I think you should too.
This election has become a choice between accepting a hugely-expensive US-style insurance-based health system that will keep you sick and bankrupt you while doing so – under Boris Johnson, or a restored NHS, fully public, and free at the point of use – under Jeremy Corbyn.
If you value your health, you must tell our politicians that our NHS is not for sale.
Those of you who think voting for another party – especially the Liberal Democrats – will help achieve this should think again. The Lib Dems helped inflict privatisation on the health service during the Coalition government and cannot be trusted not to get right back in bed with the Tories if they have a chance.
So who are you going to elect? A Labour Party that is telling you the facts? Or the lying Tories who’ll sell your health for pennies?
