It's ok though. We're going to fund things like this and the contracts given to Tory cronies by robbing the foreign aid budget. At least if Sunak gets his way.

Truly impaired.

Ah, THAT's why we couldn't afford £20M for a week's free school meals during half term, we had to pay this parasite off.

It very much typifies boris's broken brexit Britain.

The Good Law Project’s report from the National Audit Office. This is eye popping stuff:

When you consider the sort of activities that have cost ministers and aides their political heads in the past, we really have gone through the looking glass with this lot.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

I've very much enjoyed the Government response to this:

"As this report rightly recognises, we needed to procure contracts with extreme urgency to secure the vital supplies required to protect frontline NHS workers and the public and we make no apology for that.

We have robust processes in place for spending public money to ensure we get critical equipment to where it needs to go as quickly as possible, whilst also ensuring value for money for the taxpayer.

It is important to maintain the public's confidence in how we manage their money, and we welcome the NAO's scrutiny of our processes and recommendations on how they can be improved."


Like they were reading something else.

I read that response and wondered what they were talking about. The report says they gave some bloke £20m to be a middle man with no tendering process. We only know about it because it came up in a Miami court case.

Surely any transparency would be an improvement?

I don't know a great deal about the national audit office. Assume it's a toothless gravy train.

I know that was then, but it could be again..
