All 32 of my @PrivateEyeNews columns on Lucy Letby are available here. She was never observed harming a baby, the forensic evidence against her is very poor and experts of far higher standing than those who gave evidence at her trial have concluded that all of the deaths and

If approved, the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine will be manufactured in Germany and Belgium. We have ordered 40 million doses. Their transport is temperature and time critical. Let’s hope there are no issues that would prevent free and fast movement of goods at our borders in January.

Dear @BorisJohnson & @MattHancock, for the avoidance of doubt, could you please name the 40 new hospitals, the timescale for completion, the cost, how the need for each was determined & precisely what you mean by ‘new’ and ‘hospital’? Thank you.

Please RT if you would like me to consider standing against @Jacob_Rees_Mogg again, as an independent for one term only. As before, I would step aside if a better unity candidate emerges, or if @UKLabour & @LibDems decide to fight each other & I would only further split the vote.

If the Queen had labelled this as a leaving event, she could have had the whole palace around her and copious drinks afterwards, and still have complied with @BorisJohnson’s version of the rules and guidance.

Vaccines protect us against cholera, diphtheria, hepatitis, Japanese encephalitis, measles, meningitis, mumps, pertussis, pneumonia, polio, rabies, rotavirus, rubella, tetanus, tuberculosis, typhoid, varicella, yellow fever, ano-genital cancer, warts AND COVID 19! I'm having it.

Mr Johnson was particularly riled by newspaper reports of Ms Symonds being referred to by Cummings loyalists by nicknames including “Princess nut nuts”. In other news, excess deaths in the UK are at 70,000 this year and we still don’t have a deal with the EU with a week to go.

Apparently the government is going to ask retired GPs to help out in a coronavirus pandemic. Those over 80, in which the mortality rate is highest, will be particularly attracted to this job opportunity.

Good news. We are testing and quarantining everyone out our borders from Monday. Bad news. It took us 100,000 deaths before we did it.

I don’t know where the government buys its software from, but I can get the latest version of Excel for less than £12 billion

Could anyone give me just one example of where outsourcing has worked really well in the NHS or indeed any public service? Perhaps the best birthday present we can give the NHS & its staff is to stop outsourcing vital services, and join up care so no one falls through the cracks.
