It's an open sewer of corruption, but apparently nothing to see. Applied neoliberalism: don't worry, the beneficiaries of the largesse will probably buy a burger from the poors (or their yacht engineer will) so the wealth will trickle down - only take a couple of millenia. Maybe part of the goal (aside from gettng a new yacht) is to drain money from the NHS so they can argue it needs more privatisation later when the bills come. https://twitter.com/JolyonMaugham/status/1320996355872083968 "During the first eight months of the pandemic we used 533,000 coveralls. But we bought ~29,000,000. That's a staggering 36 years worth of supply. And, as the thread shows, with hyperlinks to Government documents, we bought those coveralls entirely without proper procurement, from the strangest of counterparties and at absolutely top of the market prices We spent over £700m buying from weird counterparties thirty six years of supply for a product with a three year shelf life. Are you angry yet?" |
