    More of the same on PPE contracts and supplies.

    'Lord Feldman: Department of Health adviser's firm took work from Covid company
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54975507

    A public relations firm whose managing partner previously advised ministers on Covid is providing consultancy for a testing company signed up by government.

    Lord Feldman's PR firm began advising Oxford Nanopore after it struck a £28m deal with the Department of Health.

    He insists he had no involvement in the award of the contract.

    The Department of Health said it drew on the expertise of private sector partners to help in its Covid response.

    On 29 October many Westminster journalists were preoccupied with the release of a significant report into anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.

    Some would have missed the publication of dozens of documents on the Cabinet Office website, done under rules designed to make the government more transparent with the public about its spending and conduct.'

    Note the BBC reintroduces the antisemitism stuff into that report about PPE supply!

    Shame on the state broadcaster.
