Is the VIP LANE alive and kicking...?
This time for the £1.6 BILLION non-competitive contract for the Stop The Boats barges.
The CEO: "started with a phone call from a person close to Boris Johnson"
...the rest is history...
£1.6 BILLION...no competitive tendering.....wow
"Boris Johnson missed 187 commons votes while he was in the US making £4m giving speeches. Nadine Dorries hasn't been in the commons for over a year. In what other job is this acceptable?"
@MarinaPurkiss comments on second jobs for MPs.
Dan Wootton propositioned young male reality TV stars he met in his role as a showbusiness journalist to do "test shoots" for "underwear brands" alone in his flat.
Those targeted were pressured to pose nude for Wootton in an "abhorrent abuse of power".

Please watch this
It show the absolutely corrupt nature of this Tory administration
Beyond disgraceful
When the Tories are thrown out, the police will be able to investigate this
Infosys, the family firm of Sunak’s wife, made $1.5 billion from a BP contract months before Sunak announced new gas and oil licences.
Infosys is still trading with Russia.
Yet they claim those shoplifting to feed their babies are criminals.
We should be fucking rioting.
Tory govt continues to destroy our safety.
April 22-23 figures show nearly 95% of crimes go unsolved
Just 5.7% of all crimes resulted in someone being charged
In rape that fell to an appalling 2.1%
And that is terrifying
😡
GENERAL ELECTION NOW

Billions on unusable PPE given to donors & allies - no resignations
Billions defrauded in covid payments - written off
Leaks & Lies - knighthoods & promotions
People telling you they’re fighting the establishment when they ARE the establishment
No accountability = NO TRUST
Dear UK press,

These stories aren’t just of interest to the public
They are in the public’s interest
Do your job and report on them.
British Gas has just announced profits of £969,000,000
That's up TEN-FOLD on last year.
They're lining their pockets while you pay higher bills.
As the world burns and energy bills soar, we need an energy system under public ownership, run for people and planet - not profit.
- Hedge fund owner takes out short position on NatWest stock
- Uses his news channel to whip up outrage over the bank's handling of one of its presenters
- Stock falls by £850 million
- Exits the trade.
Michelle Mone is still in the House of Lords she still owes £232,000,000 and hasn’t paid a penny.
The Prime Minister could remove her from the Lords and put her on trial but he won’t because she has too much dirt on him.
OMFG.
Turns out The Day After Tomorrow could possibly be the Year After Next?
We're hanging by a thread from full-scale #climate collapse that will be far, far worse than even our direst imaginings.

BREAKING NEWS (from FT)
UK Tory govt is set to spend £110bn just on interest payments on our debt this year- about the same as the entire EDUCATION BUDGET.
Our economy has been so badly managed, we are set to have the HIGHEST DEBT INTEREST IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD this year.
😡
Rishi Sunak has quietly slipped out new rules raising the amount individuals can secretly donate to political parties by 50%. Party campaign spending limits have also been raised.
Meanwhile the cap on trade union spending during elections has been frozen.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.
Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.
Hang onto your hats.

This story is beyond shameful.
The Tories’ VIP lane for PPE saw taxpayers’ money handed to Conservative friends and donors like confetti.
Experienced British businesses offered to help - but were left out in the cold.
Labour will end this Tory cronyism.
