Our thoughts are with the family, friends and ex teammates of Malcolm Alker, the former Salford hooker who has sadly passed away aged just 45. Rest in peace Malc 💔
Post Office: Tory-donating Fujitsu director rewarded with govt job
Over the years, handed £376,000 to the Tories.
That investment has paid off. He has £80,000 a year job - working for two days a week.
Do you know how to get such a job?

So the taxpayer is currently on the hook for £1.4billion to sort out the Post Office mess.
Enough to pay for 46,000 teachers or to pay hospital doctors in full.
Fujitsu currently liable for nothing, but is still working on government contracts.

I think he shouldn't just get a CBE. He should be in House of Lords getting his teeth into other matters. In Alan Bates we trust https://t.co/xvmGUEdP9T
TEESSIDE FREEPORT
Watching two ‘witnesses’ defend Freeports in front of Business & Trade Committee right now. I'm getting very bad vibes.
MICHAEL GOVE – where do we begin with what Gove says?
LORD DOMINIC JOHNSON - made a minister & put into Lords by Liz Truss.
Big friend of David Cameron, he loaned Cameron his house in Chelsea.
Hedge fund manager, in 2007, he co-founded Somerset Capital Management (SCM) with Jacob Rees-Mogg and Edward Robertson.

NO dentists in my constituency are taking NHS adult OR child patients. 🦷
Rishi Sunak might be able to afford a private dentist, but most working people in the UK cannot.👩🏻⚕️
His party has chosen not to reform NHS dentistry in the past 14 years.
It is time for change 🗳 📆

The scandal which may be the Teesside Freeport will come out in full one day I'm sure.
@PrivateEyeNews & @rbrooks45 have been excellent.
Summary: We have put in hundreds of millions since 2021, and already £127 million has gone into private accounts!!
🔷Yday @FT : The private company & individuals involved have PROFITED in just over 2 years by
£127 MILLION SO FAR.
🔷May 2023 @ft: THE GOVT (taxpayer money) has so far given the project more than
£260 MILLION, as well as providing a £107 MILLION PUBLIC LOAN to build a new quay.
@AndyMcDonaldMP said in parliament that this Freeport involves "industrial scale corruption"
I'm learning more about this every day, and believe me it's eye opening ....
Also @leighsus Jones is investigating this for the @yorkshirepost
All good follows inc @EuropeanPowell
Freeports and Charter Cities may well prove to be the biggest post Brexit scandal of all from this Tory govt ... and that's saying something !!
Talking to sub postmaster #PostOfficeScandal@tonydowney67 on my @lbc show earlier.
Made bankrupt, forced to pay money he didn't owe, suffered severely with mental health, moved abroad to "escape".
Now 2,800+ additional victims of Post Office have come forward from people who gave them the money they demanded and weren't prosecuted.
Thank you Tony 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are respected beyond measure.
As ever, @BylineTimes was one of first to the story.
