Another day, another u-turn: Rishi Sunak set to end ban on new onshore wind projects in attempt to head off row with Tory MPs - story by @breeallegretti @horton_official https://t.co/702y6YzD4S

In spite of all going on with Michelle Mone....
On Nov 30th the Tories in the Lords VOTED TO specifically CONTINUE
"PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT on suppliers CONNECTED TO or recommended by MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS OR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS"
Why?
👀 @BBCParliament live NOW
@AngelaRayner giving detail about the alleged PPE Medpro scandal involving Michelle Mone + other "shameless profiteering"
REMEMBER just LAST WEEK the Tories in the House of Lords VOTED TO KEEP VIP LANES.
Just LAST WEEK.
It begs the question
WHY?
Claims Baroness Mone pocketed £29M from PPE contracts need full investigation, but it's not just her. Jenrick's housing deal, Braverman's leaks, Raab's bullying - integrity, professionalism & accountability aren't in Govt's vocabulary.

Labour’s motion calling on the government to release all documents and advice relating to contracts awarded to PPE Medpro has passed.
We, the public, have the right to know what when went on and by whom we were defrauded.
Arco in Hull have been the primary supplier of clinical PPE to the NHS since the NHS was born but during the pandemic they didn’t get a sniff because they weren’t on the VIP list and didn’t have access to Ministers' WhatsApps. The Government should fess up and say SORRY.
In the next election, you’ll be able to vote with:
✅ A 60+ Oyster card
✅ An Older Person’s Bus Pass
But not:
❌ An 18+ Oyster card
❌ Young people’s rail cards
Could there be a reason why the Tories don’t want young people to vote? 🤔

The VIP lane isn’t just an outrageous waste of taxpayers’ money.
The murkiness with deals like PPE Medpro reveal just how much the Tories have damaged standards.
Today, Tory MPs have a choice - continue the cover up, or vote for Ministers to come clean.

Profiteering at the expense of other people’s heartache and suffering.
Nothing less.

If it wasn’t for the likes of Michelle Mone stealing from our NHS & the govt having to write-off £10 BILLION of useless PPE… nurses could have a fair pay rise. Don’t blame nurses for striking…. blame Tories & their peers! #ToryCorruption#ToryCriminals
The starting salary for a Nurse is NOT £31,000. @SteveBarclay knows it and @nadhimzahawi knows it. Yet they’re being allowed to lie to millions of people to demonise us!
@SkyNews you need to put out a correction. #SophieRidge#ToriesOut
