Allin-Khan's Problem With The Truth

Some 23 hours after tweeting about nurses wearing bin bags and alleged cronyism wrt PPE contracts, Dr Rosena Allin-Khan Labour MP deleted her tweet.

For why?

The photo she used of a nurse wearing bin bags was of a Spanish nurse in a Spanish hospital, where the  text header explaining that had been cropped.

Here is a link to the deleted tweet (sans photo).

Here are screenshots of the original tweet, and the photos she used (in its original context). Ironically, now that the truth is out, it highlights what we knew at the time; namely that there was a global shortage of PPE. 

In October 2020, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards rebuked Allin-Khan for breaching the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament. As this was Allin-Khan's third breach of the rules, the matter was referred to the Parliamentary Committee on Standards.
