https://bit.ly/3qkFO1W #OliverDowden is the only person politicising the use of what is rightly identified as a deathtrap to hold immigrants.

Finally, something I have expertise of 🙄 Fighting fires on anything afloat can be a tragedy just waiting to happen. The temperatures that are reached in compartments that are essentially small metal boxes are phenomenal, & deadly.

Of course, #Dowden doesn't give a shit if some 'poors', or better yet some 'costly' bloody immigrant, dies in a fire.

Oliver #Dowden trying to defend that indefensible- taking time and resources from emergency planning in order to plan for a no deal #Brexit.
I remember thinking at the time that Brexit ought to have been at least delayed once it was clear when we knew COVID was coming. But Johnson's priority was never the national interdt

@OsservatorioEsteri

@pedestrians1st He also lied today on Kuennsberg saying that Tories were not whipped over Owen Patterson & over Johnson re appearing before Committee.We mustnt fall for these lies by people with posh voices.This pasty faced #Dowden is one of the most scurrilous cowards in parliament!

#Dowden on #BBCLauraK crticisises #tiktok because it "harvests your data" and then goes on to talk about the government's emergency alert, which because it uses geolocation of your phone, harvests your data.

Oliver #Dowden is not being realistic.

The advisory board's instructions from the government were given earlier this year. The limits that the #govt set are out of touch with reality as are most of the Govt ministers.

Let them (Govt) live off claps and foodbanks for a week and see how quickly they realise that they have got it wrong.

If not, lets get a guillotine...

Good to see the #UK government are seeing sense on the #PublicWorkers #strikes including the example to & envy of the world, the #NHS.

If #Dowden says they're "holding firm", they're definitely about to fold. Remember when he said the government were "ramping up the testing & tracing" after taking the duty from the NHS, passing it to their buddies & letting it fail completely?

Dowden is happy to lie and is regarded as expendable by the party.

You strikers got this 💪

@TVPaulD @adambienkov 'Robust' is supposed to make us think it has been tested and found to be reliable. It sounds strong and a bit macho not like the wimpy statistics you find in the media. It's 'NewSpeak' isn't it? #NewSpeak #Orwell #Dowden
