    An event promotional poster by Volt titled "LIVE PANEL DISCUSSION: THE HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF DEMOCRACY BY BIG TECH". Below the title, the event details read: "THURSDAY 4 JUNE | ONLINE" and "7PM BST | 8PM CET". The center of the poster features four black-and-white portrait photos of the panelists arranged horizontally. From left to right, they are labeled: "Carole Cadwallader", "Reinier van Lanschot", "Roger McNamee", and "Sophie in 't Veld". The bottom section of the poster is a solid purple block.

    Spotted by a Citizen...Health Secretary Matt Hancock has a photo of The Cock Inn, Thurlow hanging behind him in his Red Room. The pub was owned by Alex Bourne, who won a £30m Covid19 contract for test tube work. His firm had only recently gained a safety certificate for testing.

    So, we now know that it was Lord Brownlow who paid £58,000 towards the cost of makeover of the PM's Downing Street flat.... what hasn't been reported is that Brownlow, in his role as founder and director of Huntswood CTC Limited, has also benefited from government contracts.
