Some may say that, but i prefer to focus on his medical attributes when he is commenting on medical matters.
Double first at Cambridge, PhD in Immunology at Stanford, founding Professor of Oncology at Imperial College, Deputy Clinical Director at Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Chief of the WHO's Cancer programme, etc, etc.

But yes, he does also write a column for the Express (apparently).

Imperial college threatened legal action to stop him saying he was ever a professor there as he has never been a professor at Imperial let alone the founding one. He's also never been part of their research fun either/.

He hasn't been a practicing clinical cancer doctor since the mid 90s and he worked for the WHO between 1997 and 1998 and was then sacked by the WHO.

Man is a crank

How the hell can you buy 50 million pounds worth of the wrong PPE. Must have been a sample or a picture of the product to show some medical adviser " is this any good?"
Stinks to high heaven.

There's just so many levels to get angry about on this.

Not just the shitty 'look after your mates' corruption, which in normal times would have me absolutely seething.

But even worse is that by doing so they've put selfless people trying to help in huge danger just so their mates can get rich.

That goes way beyond corruption and shows a govt willing to endanger lives for profit. These people should be in jail for a very very long time and never allowed near any kind of high office ever again.

Al Capone would be looking on this thinking "you've gone too far".

Also, if it;s not fit for purpose contract law states you are entitled to your money back. So why aren't we reclaiming it?

Johnson should be at least put on trial for his handling of the pandemic. He’ll end up getting an increased majority.

Seems theatres and venues have been told no audiences allowed until 2021 at the earliest and the DCMS won’t even be carrying out further assessments on the viability of audiences returning until the end of the year.

Virus cases 'may be levelling off' in England, figures suggest

After a low in cases at the end of June, the ONS estimated infections had been rising slightly in July.
www.bbc.co.uk

Amazing, that they are basing the stats on this. Who would do a survey for the worst pandemic in our lifetime, as the key guide to its current status, with a sample size of 53!!! This is from the ONS .

Virus cases 'may be levelling off' in England - BBC News

However, there is uncertainty around these figures because they are based on modelling a sample of the population and a very small number of positive tests - just 53 people from 53 households.

I think it’s 53 positives tests from 120k sample Sam

Could be a bit of positive news. Fingers crossed

Sample size isn’t 53, sample size was 120,000. Positive samples were 53.

Bill Gates: Coronavirus pandemic will end 'for the rich world' by late 2021

The Microsoft co-founder estimates the disease will affect the developing world even longer.

It's more to do with those putting economic concerns so far ahead of health concerns. In majority those will be the 'rich world' but places like Brazil and India which are focusing on economics are also lasting longer.

But rather than question if it's the way we work our economies that's the problem and it needs a drastic rethink they just refuse to accept the problems with their system. I do believe slowly we're going to see the end of this fascination with the 'American' model.
