He’s a f*cking disgrace and should never have been allowed in the HoL. Considering his dodgy dealings with the VIP lane, I don’t know how he escaped a charge of misconduct in public office!

[Dr Martin @MartinRemains]

This is easier than it might seem. There is already a paper trail. Government has only to hire investigators to gather evidence then follow the normal path to reclaim the money and prosecute. They should also prosecute those who set up the VIP lane. Clear corruption & misconduct.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

It wasn’t wasted, it was stolen!

**£10 BILLION** stolen from us, the taxpayers, during Covid

When will the leaders who orchestrated this be held accountable?!!

WE DEMAND OUR MONEY BACK!!

Arrests need to be made!

£15B spent on PPE. Of that sum, £10B was wasted.

I just wanted to highlight this stunning fact. If you want a picture, here’s some of it dumped in the New Forest.

It doesn’t matter that NHS staff died for want of PPE because:

• we clapped on Thursdays &
• @michaelgove became a lord.

[Playingitagain @AmeliaRocket1]

I remember listening to this show on my daily walk and I’ll never forget the long standing NHS PPE providing contractors phoning in and telling the country they were being ignored in favour of lobbied Tory mates. Criminal charges should be sought.

Radical idea..make Feargal Sharkey head of OFWAT ..finally get someone whose not looking for a second career in the water industry

Los jugadores argentinos festejan el pase a la final con una pancarta sobre las Islas Malvinas rompiendo el reglamento de la FIFA, la selección Argentina debe ser expulsada del torneo.

[Mr AntifaBot - AKA The Intolerant Left @_Wrevolution_]

No, @michaelgove

When you and your mates are literally swanning around in luxury yachts, paid for with our fucking money, this is not an 'honest error'

These rats need to be arrested and hauled in front of a fucking judge

Now

[Yorkshire Victor Meldrew+his dog @TheMeldrew]

Strange that we have a worldwide supplier of excellent quality PPE up the road in Hull who contacted the government multiple times with the offer of millions of items of PPE but never got a call back and eventually supplied the Scottish government

[Clive Wismayer 🇪🇺🥪 @CliveWismayer]

Was it an ‘honest error’ to give contracts worth hundreds of millions to Doug Barrowman:

• without competitive tender
• with a huge built in mark up
• whose company, formed 2 days before, had no experience in the market
• in return for unusable PPE

Funnelling taxpayers’ money to your friends, donors & other cronies is called ‘corruption’ everywhere outside Westminster.

[John Crace @JohnJCrace]

So sweet to hear Michael Gove on radio boasting that the loss of £10bn on PPE contracts on his watch was just down to his own incompetence, not corruption and cronyism

[Barry Halverson @barry_halverson]

10 billion given to their mates and donors for dodgy PPE. No wonder they partied their way through Covid.

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

As the jaw dropping amount wasted on duff PPE is revealed a reminder.

Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman.
These f*ckers owe taxpayers £148,000,000.

ARREST THEM!!
#CovidInquiry

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

There are just no words.
An absolute bloody disgrace
£10 billion wasted on PPE that could not be used.

Shameful conduct by the Tories.
Boris Johnson
Matt Hancock
Michelle Mone
Michael Gove
Etc etc etc

Arrest them all.

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

If Harry Kane wearing a rainbow armband was going to trigger an automatic yellow card then this has to be at least a five-match ban

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

It wasn’t PPE failure, it was government failure.

And NHS workers died whilst Lady Michelle Moan bought a yacht.

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

Hands up if you think Michael
Gove describing the revelation from the Covid Inquiry that £10 billion was wasted on duff PPE as an 'honest mistake', a load of old bollocks.
