The Covid PPE scandal is one of the most egregious examples  of political sleaze and mismanagement of public money in recent memory. £10bn was wasted on unusable PPE and that's the figure that comes from the government itself.Now it is all about to be uncovered  about the Conservatives dodgy deals and cronyism during the pandemic that has now paved the way the appointment of a covid corruption commissioner.   Can't wait ..bring it on Sir keir.

what a lot of long words we are learning!

[gulliver1]

As investigations have revealed. The existence of a murky VIP Lane for PPE suppliers for fast tracked contracts through their connections in Government or the Conservative Party.

Through these investigations it has been revealed how the now infamous contracts  Landed PPE Medpro via  a referral from Baroness Michelle Mone .."Conservative" a whopping great contact worth £202m for useless PPE equipment .That would give her and husband a nice profit of £60M .This contract is now the subject of a National Crime Agency investigation

Davebro 16.49 and 16.50 You  remember it all well then .But you would rather me not to keep reminding you as the Cons keep on trying to kick all these nasty wasty bad memories into the long grass with the local elections approaching fast.

The investigators in this case had to break through the Conservative Governments wall of silence and also had to deal with legal threats and worked with cross party MPs to get the High Court to rule Matt Hancock's failure to publish contract notices on as unlawful.

gully - if there was any illegality I would hope & expect that it will be uncovered & acted upon. end of (as they say)

[gulliver1]

Davebro. the only "end of" I am looking forward to is the Con Party.🤣

If you're going to C&P Gulliver, at least have the good grace to acknowledge the source (it was clear it was a C&P job as there's no way Gulliver could use a word like egregious).

Nope - took about 30 secs. If you want to pass off somebody else's words as your own, it's best to paraphrase rather than  repeat verbatim. 
 

You're welcome.

Private Eye covered this story extensively with the corrupt Tories robbing the public purse of many millions of pounds during their disastrous 14 year rule.

 

The latest issue of Private Eye reveales that the Chancellor (Rachel Reeves) has accepted hospitality (a dinner) to the value of £100 – shocking behaviour from a Labour minister.

Hymie 08.23 "Private eye covered this story extensively with the corrupt Tories robbing the public purse of many millions of pounds during their disasterous 14 years rule." ......But Naomi tells me on a thread of mine yesterday Sunday that "I keep talking about the Conservatives lining their pockets with taxpayers money and that equates to accusing them of stealing  which is  unacceptable.
