Bahnhof Strasse
Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
At the time he was given access to the 'VIP Lane' he was acting for a company that did not even exist, ffs.

Whilst one or two of these instances could be ruled out as coincidence, our research has found at least 28 (and counting) contracts worth over £3.7 billion – over 20 per cent of all COVID-19 contracts by value – which surely cannot be a matter of chance. And thanks to the Government’s spending watchdog, National Audit Office, and litigation in the courts we know a bit about why.
Lord Peter Cruddas donated £500,000 to the Conservative Party's central office on 5 February 2021, only three days after he was introduced into the House of Lords where he now sits as a Conservative peer, the latest Electoral Commission records show.
Cruddas was nominated to become a member of the House of Lords by Boris Johnson in December 2020, despite objections from the House of Lords Appointments Commission, an independent group that vets nominations
A Conservative peer, who was put in charge of regulating universities by Boris Johnson's government, has donated £8,000 to the party while claiming thousands of pounds through the furlough scheme at the same time.
Lord James Wharton is the sole director of GBMW Ltd, a consultancy firm he established after losing his seat of Stockton South in the 2017 general election.
More than £600,000 has been donated to the Conservative Party by firms and individuals that have been awarded some £400 million in public contracts during the Coronavirus pandemic, Byline Times can reveal.
Yesterday, the Electoral Commission published its latest tranche of data for political party donations, covering the first quarter of 2021. The data shows that six individuals and firms that have benefitted from Government contracts during the crisis – which have previously donated to the Conservatives – have given generously to the party in recent months.
This is not good (short thread):
I hope GLP haven't cooked this up to get extra donations, because they're going to get another one from me The blatancy of the attempts to lie and cover up are one thing, but these repeated efforts by our stinking, sleazy Government to silence any kind of criticism are sickening, whether it's this, the attempt to muzzle the judicial review process, the silencing of asylum seekers (eg re the Napier concentration camp), or quite a few I've almost certainly forgotten.
Government’s deceitful and bullying attempt to target a critic - Good Law Project
Over the weekend the Mail on Sunday reported, quite explicitly, that our founder, Jo Maugham, is being “targeted by Ministers”. What is suggested is that Good Law Project is somehow “abusing” crowdfunding. But no evidence is given in support of that contention. And it is false. There is a need...goodlawproject.org
That response is to a story in the Sunday Mail so I expect the threat id genuine.I hope GLP haven't cooked this up to get extra donations, because they're going to get another one from me The blatancy of the attempts to lie and cover up are one thing, but these repeated efforts by our stinking, sleazy Government to silence any kind of criticism are sickening, whether it's this, the attempt to muzzle the judicial review process, the silencing of asylum seekers (eg re the Napier concentration camp), or quite a few I've almost certainly forgotten.
Yeah, I think GLP are pretty unimpeachable, so far as I can tell. But I shall be shovelling such extra cash as I can spare in their direction, because I have a feeling that they are one of our last remaining bulwarks against an out-of-control and apparently unaccountable government.That response is to a story in the Sunday Mail so I expect the threat id genuine.
Definitely worth another £20.Result! I somehow doubt Gove will receive any censure from Johnson though, nor do I expect him to do the right thing:
High Court rules: Gove broke the law - Good Law Project
Michael Gove broke the law by giving a contract to a communications agency run by long time associates of him and Dominic Cummings, the High Court has decided. The Court found that the decision to award the £560,000 contract to Public First was tainted by “apparent bias” and was unlawful. The...goodlawproject.org
It is bloody similar to the profiteers in WW2.
What a surprise:
