UK first country in Europe to pass 150,000 Covid deaths, figures show https://t.co/UOwPd3e5xR

— Peter Jukes (@peterjukes) January 9, 2022

We’re the first country in Europe to pass through this milestone of 150,000 Covid deaths.

It’s been a story of tragic mismanagement, repeatedly— causing surges at the outset and in winter 2020/21 in particular. Plus failures to get systems fixed when death rates were slow. pic.twitter.com/64JqoumwRt

— Mike Galsworthy (@mikegalsworthy) January 9, 2022

The shock when you realise the UK is the 7th country to pass 150,000 deaths to Covid and that 5 of the 6 other countries have at least more than double our population….

Parts of NHS may be overwhelmed by Covid wave, admits Boris Johnson https://t.co/Yj8iZAnIfA

— The Guardian (@guardian) January 4, 2022

Boris Johnson just essentially admitted the NHS is going to be battered in the coming weeks but his view is we "just need to get through it".

But not everyone will make it, some will die either from Covid or other mistakes and NHS staff will be broken, some permanently so.

— Shaun Lintern (@ShaunLintern) January 4, 2022

Dear media,

At today’s Covid press conf please bear in mind that an NHS ‘critical incident’ means that trust can no longer care for patients safely. Implication: pressures are such that patients may be harmed/die.

Whatever happens with the Giuffre vs Prince Andrew case today, the position is that a senior member of the royal family is seeking to use a legal loophole, a technicality, to avoid scrutiny over claims of sexual abuse. That is totally unacceptable.

— Stig Abell (@StigAbell) January 4, 2022

Most shocking to me is that Prince Andrew's attorney wanted the judge to say NY's law giving child sexual abuse victims more time to sue is unconstitutional.

This would have blocked access to justice for so many victims.

With release of “settlement” between Epstein & Prince Andrew’s accuser, we see he is relying on “potential defendants” as his get out clause

Well he never met her, he was in Pizza Express, so it’s difficult for him to argue he was a “potential deft”

If he pays a settlement to avoid court on this one the number will be very high (if there is one) and this case will open up a credibility trail for other potential victims to follow. I don't see this ending quickly, cheaply or satisfactory for him.
