Is eager to divulge internal debate held in cabinet to bolster her reputation & get a boost for Tory leadership post Boris
“On ‘should we have closed our borders earlier?’ the answer is yes, I was an advocate [of] closing them last March.”

I have a larger thread on Priti Patel
Which we will come to at the last
But I want to focus on
“On ‘should we have closed our borders earlier?’ the answer is yes, I was an advocate [of] closing them last March.”
What evidence did you have that informed your advocacy?
Did you have (to borrow a phrase) an "absolute burden of proof"?
Was it just a hunch or belief?
Were you trying to "do-good" so to speak?

Ian Hislop explains to Priti Patel why she's wrong about supporting capital punishment, but she disagrees claiming "absolute burden of proof" means innocent people will never be wrongly executed.#c4news @LBC #r4today #bbcqt #PoliticsLive #Newsnight #bbcaq #marr #GE2019 pic.twitter.com/dsQ98AzHQH

In March 2020
As a pandemic was raging out of control and resulting in a panicked delayed and late lock down
I would be marshalling and arguing
All my skills
All the evidence or views I held
To persuade my colleagues of my case
That I am the British Home Secretary
One of the senior offices of state in Her Majesty's Government
And the weight of that office behind marshalled behind that argument
In a room full of people who wanted to "take back control" of our borders
IF I had managed to fluff up persuading them that in the midst of a public health emergency they had allowed to "ramp up" out of control
I would take a lesson from that
On the evidence I brought
On the hunch I brought
And on how I marshalled my arguments and persuade people
I would be eternally vigilant
As the UK death toll went from ..... well you know the numbers there through Spring of 2020
To where we are now
And how they fared with those
Of course - its no simple direct analogy - every country has a panoply of measures they choose to follow in containing coronavirus
I would take notes
Boris Johnson 17/4/2020
"I’ve been comparing notes & talking to leaders around the 🌍, & I can tell you that 🇬🇧 is leading a growing global campaign amongst friends & allies"
I would be revisiting that decision back in March 2020
And reminding my cabinet colleagues of the growing strength of concern and basis for travel restrictions
So that should that day come when I do win the argument
The Home Office is ready to go
It has a plan
It is oven ready (again to borrow a phrase)

Yes the one who cut police funding for a decade
Denied the consequences
Blocked their local police federation
And now want your gratitude

The most difficult thing I find is writing the hook into a thread
There is a simple word
It is called Imagine
But first I want to focus on a different topic
Nigeriahttps://t.co/bF4zaDguzh
Priti Patel said Boris Johnson was "ahead of the curve"
Ask her to explain
1. What absolute burden of proof does she have for that claim?
2. What would the UK had looked like if we were "behind the curve"?

[thread] on the utter state of this
So really simple questions
And there are so so many
Why are concerns over race, gender and sexuality put into air quotes e.g. "fashionable"?
Is "fashionable" meant as a derogatory?
Who are you selling this shite to when you write it this way?
When did the government become "too focused" on race, gender and sexuality issues?
Define "too focused" ?
Will now "pivot" - what you mean from today 17th December 2020?
Why could you not focus on "poverty and levelling up" at the same time as equality issues since some of these issues go hand in in hand after all?
Who and what are you "levelling up" from?
Equalities Minister \u2066@trussliz\u2069 says the government has been too focused on \u201cfashionable\u201d race, gender and sexuality issues and will now pivot towards focusing on poverty and levelling up. https://t.co/UOrxSapG7Z

[thread] A small round up disassembling this desperate bullshit from Michael Gove
It's well written btw - deliberately so
"Scottish independence would break up our family… and families are strongest when they stick together"
A reminder: Over 100,000 dead due to the incompetence of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and an entire government of sycophantic cronies
"THIS terrible pandemic has brought home to us all the importance of family. "
This is like when Stanley Johnson said that the UK only took coronavirus seriously when Boris Johnson got infected.
No - it didn't take a pandemic to remind me of the importance of family.

The Nashville Operation - A Battle in the War
A thread exploring the Nashville bombing in the context of the 2020 Digital War (via SolarWinds) against the United States perpetrated by our enemies, likely China, Iran and/or Russia.
SolarWinds Hack
A digital "Pearl Harbor" moment for the United States, whoever was responsible had access to the keys to the kingdom for months during 2020, including sensitive military infrastructure. This is war!
SunGard + SolarWinds
SolarWinds software company is owned by same company that owns SunGard, which essentially provides data center services. A secure place to host internet servers with redundant power and "big pipe" data connections.
https://t.co/U3P3SrrkM1
SunGard Data Center
In Nashville, around the corner from their "big pipe" connection, AT&T. Like any data center, highly secure. Only authorized personnel can enter, and even fewer can access the actual server rooms. Backup generators are available in case of power failure.
If the SunGard hardware was being used to "host" critical command and control software related to SolarWinds, the US powers would be very interested in gaining special access keys that are stored on the hard-drives of specific servers.
