Scandal after scandal collided today. Truly this is a govt like no other. But giving thanks to amazing work on Greensill by @FT & @guardian. Revelations from @openDemocracy & @bylinetimes. And new legal challenges by @foxgovelegal @allthecitizens & the great @GoodLawProject

Oh yes & @PeterStefanovi2. Seeing him take this on as a one-man campaign has been wondrous to watch. What one person can do.. https://twitter.com/peterstefanovi2/status/1387424571658313731">https://twitter.com/peterstef...

I’m so glad @openDemocracy is taking this fight. It’s another crucial transparency case that has ramifications for us all https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/freedom-of-information/why-were-taking-the-uk-government-to-court-to-protect-freedom-of-information/">https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/freedo...

Why we’re taking the UK government to court to protect Freedom of Information

openDemocracy is taking legal action over the Cabinet Office’s ‘Orwellian’ Clearing House that vets FOI requests and could breach data protection law

Delighted to see @JolyonMaugham finally getting the spotlight he deserves for the incredible work @GoodLawProject has been doing https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/good-law-project-jolyon-maugham-qc-ppe-sleaze-b932225.html">https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/g...

We are doggedly pursuing sleaze in government

Jolyon Maugham QC’s Good Law Project is on a mission to expose the truth about controversial PPE contracts

This from @BylineTV @ @WritesBright was depressing but a useful reminder of how far there is to go.

And thank god for parliamentary committees. Though MPs like rest of us would know none of this would without @ft’s @BondHack @cynthiao @PickardJE & many others. https://twitter.com/rushanaraali/status/1387441468130877442">https://twitter.com/rushanara...

Rounding off this thread with @AyoCaesar & @DoubleDownNews’s alternative race report on grounds that it was most innovative journalism of last 6 months & if we forget what the govt did they’re only going to gaslight us all over again
