Sunak owned up to £380m of shares in Moderna when he made a deal to purchase their Vaccine as Chancellor.
An illegal breach of trust.

The not very honourable Jonathan Gilli's, until 2019 a humble teacher, has an estimated net worth of £5m.
My question is simple.
How?

On Monday in the Lords ... The Govt is trying *again* to bring in anti-protest laws that Iran, Russia and other repressive regimes would be delighted with. Our Govt fears dissent. Last time, we peers managed to throw out the legislation. Can we manage that for a 2nd time? 🤞 https://twitter.com/GreenJJNews/status/1483461592612278274

Conservatives took more than £800,000 from private health firms.
Firms don't donate, they invest and want a return.
That return is govt contracts, PPE scams, Test/Trace scams, private sectors directors on NHS boards, privatisation of the NHS and profits.
