That's an, er, interesting interpretation of what's in the public interest. I'd have thought knowing that public funds are spent legally is the minimum we should know. Ideally you'd want to know that we've received value for money, appropriate services/products in return and that the process has been fair and equitable to bidders.
At least it should be clear to all why the people in this particular government were so eager to leave the EU. |  |

And they are prepared to spend as much public money as it takes to stop their own citizens from finding out.
This is the stuff we used to assume of mad corrupt nations. |  |

I disagree. The corruption of this Government appears to be another scale to what this country has seen in modern times. Not an expert on history to tell about longer ago. |  |

History is going to be full of kids in the future asking how they got away with it.
The answer will be “Because the Boomer generation, largely self-interested and easily led by what they read on social media echo algorithms, voted for the party who hated foreigners the most no matter what cost.” |  |

I am not sure many people really care about this.
They see it as the Government wasting Government money.
They don't recognise it as their taxes being given to the sponsors and mates of Government.
There should be clear lines of accountability set up. | |

Enough people will simply see short videos of Serious Face Johnson, or a picture of the PM, shirt sleeves rolled up talking earnestly on the telephone, and various people saying these were unprecedented times we did all that we could, we needed to react quickly, and just believe in the Government. |  | | |

You missed out from that list Blair: I will not admit I was wrong or misled the country.
Cameron: I will renegotiate and get a better deal, but still tell you to remain whatever. |  | | |

You may remember the tale of the jeweller from Florida and the Spanish intermediary who profited to the tune of tens of millions of pounds from vast PPE contracts, paid for with taxpayers’ money. Well, there have been developments.
Government continues to fail to publish details of contracts within the legally required timeframe, but we have learned of another contract it entered into with the jeweller Saiger, worth £36 million, for face masks.
The contract was for FFP2 masks — which protect the wearer, unlike the ones we all wear to the supermarket. But to protect the wearer they need to be adjustable - which means headstraps - and all of these masks have ‘earloops’. Earloop masks, Government has admitted in other cases, can’t be used in the NHS because they don’t give a proper fixing. We expect these £36 million of masks will also be unusable.
Not only did Government buy PPE that can’t be used. It also appears to have paid well over the odds. For one type of mask, Government paid $2.93 per unit. The prevailing price paid by Government at the time it entered into the contract was about 60p per unit: more PPE, paid for at a premium, that can’t be used by the NHS.
But that’s not all.
Saiger was awarded a contract worth £70.52 million to buy 10.2 million sterile surgical gowns. We are challenging this particular contract in court. Almost all of the gowns supplied under that £70m+ contract are unable to be used as such because they are wrapped in such a way that their sterile quality can’t be maintained.
At this stage, you might be wondering: shouldn’t a responsible Government just put up its hands and say “we got this wrong”?
Instead, it is spending, quite literally, millions in public funds trying to defend the indefensible. And what we want to know is, who is this spending for - is it in your interests? Or is it to avoid political embarrassment? | | | |

Is this run by the multi-millionaire fox killer, who refused to pay his builders and lost his own court case? [Post edited 9 Feb 2021 13:49]
