@UKDecline Sorry ignore my last question- I have just seen your next post!

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@UKDecline That seems a very high number. Why do we need so many security workers? Is it predominantly against shoplifters? For context, there are c.300k retail businesses in the UK.

Do you know how the total number has increased over the last decade and who they provide security for?

@PeterPa48764975 @CharlotteCGill Yes true

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@TonyMunday1968 @CharlotteCGill Yes!! It feels like ‘all systems go’ on the coordinated push to the right.

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@garyruskin There is something fundamentally unhinged about these virologists. Such casual disregard for the potentially devastating consequences of their actions.

Have no lessons been learnt?

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@CharlotteCGill Thanks, Charlotte!

You inspired me from the start, and continue to do so.

Afuera!

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@thesundaysport I agree

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@GBPolitcs Good

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@Vectis64 @NeilDotObrien I think there should be a much bigger investigation into this because people have written to me with similar examples.

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@based_data_uk @NeilDotObrien Yes; I have noticed that on quite a few of them.

The public record (which updates daily) should include whether a company is Dissolved or not.

@NN07choc @NeilDotObrien @_RudaMalpa_ 😂 Not yet, but people are pushing for the information

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@NeilDotObrien This made me laugh out loud

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@jill0710 @LeilaniDowding Great! It all starts with one person asking a question!

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@izakaminska @nclfuzzy How bizarre. Who are they?

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

🇬🇧 There are 79 vape shops on the Home Office’s public register of licensed visa sponsors.

‘Guardian Vapes Ltd’ in South Shields is licensed to sponsor overseas workers via the ‘Skilled Worker Visa’ route. 🧵1/3

@OwenLaw76 Thank you! And I agree; the more complicated the policy, the more potential for loopholes.

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@izakaminska @nclfuzzy Really odd lack of transparency around these crucially important companies.

[The Procurement Files @procurementfile]

@izakaminska @nclfuzzy Nothing for that either

@EthWindward @izakaminska @nclfuzzy What does h1b chop shop mean?
