Boris government wasted 10bn on PPE 12:59 - Jul 14 with 845 viewsStokieBlue

A very damning report about the wasted money on PPE (nearly 2/3 of all money spent on PPE) as well as the "fast lane" which ended up being biased towards companies with Tory connections.

Did Hancock ever go to jail for his part in the Covid debacle and subsequent corruption?

Nope, he's currently involved in two private sector companies and I'm sure doing very well.

Let's not forgot Boris is also not under any scrutiny, he'd be great to have a pint with or something though.

You say wasted, but would it not possibly be more accurate to say deliberately siphoned off billions of tax payers money to their rich friends?

And that was just the tip of the iceberg. The waste and impact costs of his government is off the charts. There was ample warning as well based off his waste of money as the mayor of London. Estimates have put wasted money at over £60BN and then when you add in the impact costs of Brexit things jump up another notch.

How the mantra the the Tories are good for the economy is sustained is beyond me.

They will argue that it wasn't wasted, because it mostly went to their mates.

Whilst I totally agree with your assessment of the Tories where a certain Baroness Mone 's husband managed to secure a multi million pound contract, just one of many that were given contracts when companies who were in that line of business were denied wastefuness is by no means a Tory thing.
Rachel Reeves since being Chancellor has twice gone to taxpayers for a 20 billion pound headroom as she calls it. We are currently borrowing around 20 billion per month where around 15 billion of that is to pay the interest on the loans.
But despite Labour claiming things have improved our growth is less than the outgoing Tories and the tax burden on individuals and companies is the highest since after the second world war.

Whilst there are many who still argue they are all the same, I do wonder whether this contributed to the massive collapse in the Tory vote share. It was all public knowledge before this enquiry reported its findings.

It will also be interesting to see whether Farage's open corruption is enough to see his and his party's popularity decrease too.

Sadly too many people decide he’s alright cos he ate a couple of bugs in the jungle. It’s unbelievable what these people got away with (with OUR hard earned money no less).
