Now, with all the PPE purchased from Conservative supporters via a VIP channel, to dispose of iy you wont believe it but another Conservative donor gets a £4.5m contract!
This latest revelation – buried in thousands of procurement contracts published by the Government in line with its transparency obligations- shines the spotlight on how the Government’s cronies are profiting from both ends of the PPE scandal.
The Government is still spending around £2 million a week to store over 13 billion items of PPE which went unused as they did not meet NHS standards....

Spivs will be spivs. Why aren't policemen being policemen and judges being judges?
Ah, I was forgetting. The Establishment and its agents work for them, not we hoi-polloi. No doubt any demonstrators against The Monstrous Regiments of Tory Thieves will be had-up immediately by use of truncheons, gas and boot before being judged a danger to all right-thinking persons and sent to the Place Where Nasty Things Happen to traitors against the rightful Rule of Spiv.

I'd like to think some exaggeration here, but, certainly in the near future, seems all too likely. "Disaster Capitalism" really is gaining momentum and will be with you soon.
In many ways Richy is far more dangerous than his two predecessors. He will not rest until replicated the huge divide between super-rich and extreme paupers in India here.

"Richard Sharp, the BBC chairman, has announced that an internal inquiry will investigate allegations that he did not declare a conflict of interest when he was appointed to the job by Boris Johnson."
Rishi Sunak has asked his independent ethics adviser to look into the Nadhim Zahawi case, as “clearly in this case there are questions that need answering”.

Johnson:
"This is a load of complete nonsense, absolute nonsense.
Let me just tell you – Richard Sharp is a good and a wise man. But he knows absolutely nothing about my personal finances, I can tell you that for 100% ding-dang sure.
This is just another example of the BBC disappearing up its own fundament."

Ah... the BBC inquiry will be restricted to what happened after he started work:
