I wish I didn’t have to write this
I am an artist, not a politician, and would rather speak through creative action than explanatory text

As the @itv drama #Breathtaking devastatingly shows
🔹NHS workers who put their lives on the line during the pandemic were let down by the Government.
🔹While we, the public, were LIED to endlessly.
🔹As workers barely had PPE, ministers threw billions at inadequate suppliers through the VIP PPE lane.

None of this would have come to light without @goodlawproject and @bylinetimes work since 2020
