"PestFix, a company that did supply PPE, had its offer progressed through the VIP lane after one of its shareholders reminded a senior DHSC official that he was a friend of his father-in-law’s.
The official passed PestFix’s offer to a colleague marked “Importance: High”, and followed up by emailing: “Thanks for doing this! He’s an old school friend of my father-in-law, but on this occasion it does look like he might have something.”
"was awarded two PPE contracts for a total £252m having been referred to the VIP lane because its representative, Andrew Mills, was an adviser to Liz Truss, the trade secretary. Officials pushed for the contracts to be processed as quickly as possible, with one marking emails “URGENT VIP CASE” and “VERY URGENT VIP ESCALATION”"
There will be the righties who will tell you that we should not question the acts of our 'betters' - however when you remember that the same government claimed not to be able to afford £23m for school meals but were happy to waste £252m on 50m unusable face masks supplied by the above (friends of Liz Truss) company.
I wonder how much 'levelling up' in Hartlepool that amount could have delivered.

The trial, being heard by Mrs Justice O’Farrell, is expected to last five days.

It does come across as not only were tens of thousands allowed to die, but certain' connected'people were allowed to go through their pockets
...... to fill their pockets
Odd how none of this came up in the Hartlepool by election. or that the Jersey fishing dispute flared up a couple of days before that by election, and then died away the day after
And it should not be forgotten that the dire shortage of PPE was not down to the government 'being caught out' but as a consequence of allowing the emergency stocks to run down - against the advice from Exercise Cygnus | | | |

The worst of this is that the majority of the electorate don't care. |  |

From my experience an awful actually don't understand or know
Over the w/e I had a relative bleating about 'woke' - then got shtty when I asked her what she meant by it.
Hartlepool was a disturbing example, as voters spouted all manner of illogical nonsense that appeared to have been passed on as being the truth
Most are only concerned when they are told to be so..... clap for the NHS | | | |

Day two gives us -
"Mr Coppel said that PestFix’s agent in China had secured surgical gowns by bribing local officials."
"Mr Coppel added that decision-making officials were not aware that some of the PPE being purchased was made at a factory with previous concerns about quality."
although
"Natwest, DHSC’s bank, “was so concerned by the advance payment to Ayanda that it tried, unsuccessfully, to stop it”, the barrister added" and "gowns that have not been tested for flammability was potentially counterproductive"
No weasel, crawling words from righties will deflect from what was a continuous misappropriation of what were NHS funds.
It is clear that once the word had got out that the usual checks would be bypassed it was 'fill yer boots' time with little heed for the quality of the PPE, but how much could be made - and for those familiar with the recent charges against Cameron might think this was a culture rife throughout the government
"a senior official was “hounding” the technical assurance team about the contract."
