A family GP who claims 'masks do nothing' and spread misinformation about Covid-19 on social media has been struck off after his 'scaremongering' views provoked a string of complaints from patients. Dr Sam White claimed that the virus was planned and orchestrated by pharmaceutical companies along with tech tycoons Bill Gates and Elon Musk and called the Covid jabs a 'heinous crime'. The 44-year-old, who released a video announcing his own resignation, declared that the 'truth' behind the vaccine for the virus needed to be exposed as it was a 'biblical fight between good and evil'. According to a Medical Practitioners Tribunal panel, the doctor is even alleged to have referred to the Keanu Reeves science fiction movie franchise: 'The Matrix' as a 'documentary' and that globalist and Big Pharma 'controlled and exploited humans'. The former GP was struck off at the tribunal found him guilty of serious professional misconduct, concluding he exploited his job to peddle 'baseless' and 'dangerous' views. He did not attend the hearing.

Sir Keir Starmer was accused of 'fast and loosening' with anti-sleaze rules over the fact that the senior civil servant, who was in charge of the Partygate probe, was fired. Ministers said at least one of the four transparency laws was clearly broken during 'covert' discussions between Labour and Sue Gray about making her Sir Keir's chief of staff. The fiasco, according to vehement Tory MPs, was a "grubby fiasco" that has cast a "dark stain on democracy." Some believed that "immense harm" had been inflicted on the civil service's reputation for impartiality, and that Labour had been advised to 'come clean' by releasing specifics of the group's discussions with Ms Gray.
