Considering how much the new media briefing room at Downing Street cost (over £2m), as well as the continued issue of who paid for what & when for the Number 11 flat refurb, this is still pitifully low. https://twitter.com/ayshahtull/status/1387153965964537865
Not to mention that the @commonwealthsec seem to have forgotten or don’t care that #StVincentAndTheGrenadines are a part of them. This is the moment you step up, global pandemic aside or not. Don’t use that as a convenient excuse.
Here’s the official statement from @FCDOGovUK https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-gives-new-volcano-relief-for-st-vincent-and-the-grenadines
Looks like @BBCBristol did highlight the #LaSoufriere but that was ages ago https://twitter.com/BBCBristol/status/1385700778774564869
Here’s a great article from @galdemzine about the lack of serious and significant help from the UK Government https://twitter.com/galdemzine/status/1384797394957651969
Basically, thank you @Channel4News & @AyshahTull for continuing to highlight things with the #LaSoufriereVolcano. The likes of @BBCNews, @itvnews, @SkyNews, @channel5_tv - do better. I know India have currently got a massive COVID-19 crisis right now but you can care for both.
