He was on the BBC Politics South programme attempting to defend the Tory efforts on the vaccine rollout and failing. He also commented on other matters. Behind him there was a poster on display with the name CAPITA in bold at the bottom. It was probably a pressie! He was previously leader of Southampton City Council. Note - 'As council leader in 2011, Smith initiated an up to 5.5% pay cut on council employees as part of a bid to cut the council's expenditure by £76 million by 2015. In response, unions took industrial action by refusing to collect rubbish.' 'After a relationship that has lasted more than a decade, civic chiefs have made the decision to cut ties with Capita, which has run the authority’s customer services, HR pay, revenues and benefits, procurement, health and safety, print, post room, and IT services departments since 2007. This comes after the council expressed a desire to bring these services back in-house.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royston_Smith YCNMIU |
