NEW - THE VIP FILES
Part One 🔍🗄️📂
I'm working with @goodlawproject on never before seen data about the VIP PPE Lane.
#TheVIPFiles today...
🔹 £3.8 billion contracts for Tory associates and donors for just PPE through the VIP Lane and the govt went further
🔹It turns out the Government massively overpaid on stock through the VIP Lane too....by at least £925 MILLION.
🔹On average the cost per item of PPE through the VIP LANE was 80% MORE than through the USUAL NHS supplier channels.
🔹Sometimes it was much higher.
🔹For instance, the price of a protective gown through standard suppliers at that time was £5.87.
🔹Through the VIP Lane, Meller Designs Ltd was paid more than twice the price at £12.64 per gown.
🔹The company made unprecedented profit that year.
🔹David Meller (of Meller Designs) an associate of Michael Gove, has donated almost £70,000 to the Conservative party since 2009.
🔹More than a quarter of the VIP Lane stock WAS UNUSABLE.
🔹Another company based offshore in a tax haven received an enormous contract and yet £145 million of their stock was useless. The referral for that company to the VIP LANE came from a Tory adviser to Liz Truss.
🔹All these contracts were given preferential treatment even tho most had no previous experience in PPE.
🔹A company was 10 times more likely to get OUR money through the VIP Lane than through being a usual NHS PPE supplier.

Unless this is sufficiently widely disseminated via social media, it will never gain traction. Few, if any, mainstream papers or news outlets will touch the subject.
RT if you think Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock should be scrubbing prison floors for the rest of their lives to try clean all the blood off their hands.
How and why did a former Managing Director and shareholder of United Utilities Water - subject of the @BBCPanorama pollution scandal - become lead Director for the Environment Agency region regulating United Utilities 2011 - 2017?

The most disgusting Press Conference ever given by a U.K. prime minister. Threatening to strip all of us of our legal rights simply because he and the Tory party are utterly incompetent. This is cruel, vile and does not represent the will of the people. #Sunakered#SunakOut
Never before have I had to respond to a Govt statement, while the Minister in charge of the policy was busy resigning. Britain deserves better than this Tory mess.
My response to the total chaos in the Tory party & the complete collapse in Sunak leadership 👇👇 1/4
Michelle Mone’s PPE MEDPRO was a company that was less than 3 weeks old, with zero employee’s, no contracts, no premises, no previous transactions of any kind and with £100 in the bank.
Then the Government gave it £203,000,000.
Anyone going to look in her bank account?
James Cleverly lands in Rwanda, which has been visited by more Conservative Home Secretaries recently than some parts of Northern England. To be fair, they have spent more on the transport links to Rwanda
Clement Attlee founded the NHS, and built record numbers of homes.
He was one of the best British PM's, strange that no-one talks about admiring his legacy.
But then there is no profit in Council Houses and Public Healthcare.
Arrives in Cardiff at midnight having completed an ultra-marathon in Yorkshire, wakes up and runs another 28 miles in sub-zero conditions, then casually strolls into studio without pausing for breath...

James Dyson paid out its £1.2bn profits to Singapore so it won't be taxed in the UK.
This is after he was one of the biggest pushers of Brexit.
Don't buy his sh*t, he ruined the UK, and doesn't pay tax either.
Mick Lynch on David Cameron:
“It's just Etonians and public schoolboys passing around rewards between each other, creating a ruling class that's even more sharply defined probably than it's ever been in recent times.”
This is Australian Jamie Pherous owner of CTM to who the £1,593,535,200 was paid to rent Bibby Stockholm for 2 years.
But, Shh it's supposed to be Top Secret, you mustn't let anybody know.
Yesterday the Conservatives voted through their Anti-Strike Bill that bans strikes for the Public Sector now it goes to the House of Lords, if you support the right to strike give this a RT.
We have had this right for 170 years they cannot take it away.
