'Boris Johnson's promise of levelling up is nothing but a cruel Tory illusion'

With vaccines, furlough money, and pots of spare cash, Tories can offer the illusion they care about working-class lives, but it is a cruel illusion, Brian Reade says

This has the potential be a real wheels come off moment. If you look at this thread GLP have multiple sources informing them of wrongdoing and there appears to be a connection with the Miami jeweller:

I read the Mirror irregularly, but Brian Reade has always been a good, hard-hitting anti-Tory

Even the BBC had got on it now

Home Secretary Priti Patel has been accused of lobbying a fellow minister on behalf of a healthcare firm trying to get a government contract.

In May last year, Ms Patel wrote to Michael Gove expressing disappointment the government had not bought face masks from a company that had links to someone she knew.

Matt Hancock 'helped sex text shame former Tory minister Brooks Newmark land £180m PPE contract' -

The Health Secretary insisted that Brooks Newmark received no special treatment as he brokered a deal for international firms to supply millions of pairs of goggles to the NHS last year.

Mr Newmark, 63, a father of five, quit just months after being made minister for civil society in 2014 after he was exposed as having exchanged lewd photographs with a male journalist posing as a glamorous 20-year-old Tory PR woman.

A Freedom of Information probe by the Sunday Times today discovered National Audit Office emails showing that last May, at the height of the first Covid lockdown, he lobbied the Government on behalf of a Hong Kong firm.

 

[MrSki]

Well Good Law Project & @EveryDoctorUK have six days in court over the next two weeks starting tomorrow regarding PPE procurement & not protecting NHS staff so a lot of these exposures should come up in the court case. Good luck to them.

Perfectly reasonable for me to forward on PPE offer - Hancock

The health secretary defends his role in helping a former Tory minister to secure a PPE deal.

www.bbc.co.uk

That is all okay then...

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has defended his role in helping a former Conservative minister try to secure a PPE deal at the start of the pandemic.

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show it was "perfectly reasonable" for him to send on an email when the country needed medical equipment.

The Sunday Times reported Mr Hancock "personally intervened" to help Brooks Newmark in getting the £180m deal.

He's just going to continue to brazen it out isn't he?

Was he the gourmet dogfood manufacturer? A total shoe-in for a PPE contract.

He's just going to continue to brazen it out isn't he?

It's fairly clear the electorate doesn't give a shit so he/ they might as well brazen it out. It's almost unbelievable that this amount of sleaze has racked up and yet they become even stronger. If Boris called an early election it would be a landslide...

Shit, ineffectual opposition plus a general sense of fatigue.

A fucking apology? That's all we fucking get?

Quite.

I want the cunt in a gibbet on Streatham High Rd, so he's sucking in exhaust & getting mocked by PFWC people 24-fucking-7, the worthless Tory shitsack!

It'd be perfectly reasonable for members of the public that are incensed at his behaviour, to post him turds in tupperware boxes then, wouldn't it?

Hancock was interviewed on the Sophie Ridge show this morning. According to him one voter in Middlesborough told him when out canvassing, that he couldn't care less about all this sleaze. That was Hancocks excuse for not answering her question about sleaze.

That's pretty fucking brazen!

But probably one of the most honest things he's said in the last 10 years (not that the competition is exactly red-hot)

The Good Law Project and EveryDoctor have brought legal action against the Government over how PPE contracts worth over £650 million were awarded.

It'd be nice to think that the judge wants to focus on the corruption/graft aspect of things, rather than getting bogged down in details about whether £200 was excessive for a surgical mask...
