Today travelling on #ODdrwsYDdrws in #PenrhynLlyn. Rural services like this one are vitally important for the communities they serve and offer a lifeline for those users without access to a car. #MisDalYBws #CatchTheBusMonth – at Aberdaron, Wales

Wrth i siopau bach ddioddef ledled Cymru, mae un fenter, Yr Orsaf ym Mhenygroes, yn gobeithio rhoi bywyd newydd i'r stryd fawr

NEW - THE VIP FILES
Part One 🔍🗄️📂
I'm working with @goodlawproject on never before seen data about the VIP PPE Lane.
#TheVIPFiles today...
🔹 £3.8 billion contracts for Tory associates and donors for just PPE through the VIP Lane and the govt went further
🔹It turns out the Government massively overpaid on stock through the VIP Lane too....by at least £925 MILLION.
🔹On average the cost per item of PPE through the VIP LANE was 80% MORE than through the USUAL NHS supplier channels.
🔹Sometimes it was much higher.
🔹For instance, the price of a protective gown through standard suppliers at that time was £5.87.
🔹Through the VIP Lane, Meller Designs Ltd was paid more than twice the price at £12.64 per gown.
🔹The company made unprecedented profit that year.
🔹David Meller (of Meller Designs) an associate of Michael Gove, has donated almost £70,000 to the Conservative party since 2009.
🔹More than a quarter of the VIP Lane stock WAS UNUSABLE.
🔹Another company based offshore in a tax haven received an enormous contract and yet £145 million of their stock was useless. The referral for that company to the VIP LANE came from a Tory adviser to Liz Truss.
🔹All these contracts were given preferential treatment even tho most had no previous experience in PPE.
🔹A company was 10 times more likely to get OUR money through the VIP Lane than through being a usual NHS PPE supplier.
@RachelReevesMP has committed to appointing a Covid Corruption Commissioner if Labour wins the next election.
We'll be passing our discoveries to her.

This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again

I’d like to take a minute to talk to you about why it’s time to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for their role in the climate crisis.

Ok, let’s get this right… It’s an illegal mine, operating without a licence for 8 months, over which time the illegal coal has released close to a million tonnes of C02. But the police are arresting the protesters trying to stop criminal action. Hmmm. On whose authority?
⚠️HAPPENING NOW⚠️
XR activists have just been arrested by the police for having blocked an ILLEGAL COAL MINE at Ffos-y-Fran, near Merthyr Tydfil!
Where is the justice?
It's time to end coal!

“ A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Thread 🧵 #1
