Oopsie...

I think the Tories did another corruption

- £150k of leveling up cash given to an amusement centre

- Which was co-founded by top Tory donor, Lubov Chernukhin

- Who is married to Putin's ex-deputy finance minister

Do you feel leveled up?

BREAKING
Fraud report
Special mentions to
PPE MEDPRO - Michelle Mone under criminal investigation
Randox £777m - failures in record keeping, gaps in conflict-of-interest declarations, lack of scrutiny and sign off
VIP recommended by ministers - received £6 BILLION of £7.9 BILLION of testing contracts....
Be angry? I'm livid....
Quote from report
"Between March 2020 to December 2021, Government awarded 22 contracts to Randox (or its strategic partner Qnostics Ltd) for its testing services, worth a maximum total value of £776.9 million. The Committee’s inquiry into these contracts found numerous issues with the first contract – failures in basic record-keeping; gaps in conflict-of-interest declarations; and wider procurement issues, such as a lack of senior scrutiny and sign-off. The DHSC also marked supplier offers as ‘VIP’ if they had been referred from ministers, MPs, or Number 10. These priority suppliers received £6 billion of the £7.9 billion of testing contracts awarded between May 2020 to March 2021.27 .The PAC has been asked by Parliament to examine the papers relating to government contracts for the supply of PPE by PPE Medpro which secured two contracts worth a combined value of over £200 million and is now the subject of an investigation by the National Crime Agency into potential fraud."

This govt is scared of water companies dumping sewage exposing that due to Brexit they can’t get hold of chemicals needed to treat raw sewage… So the govt turn a blind eye while the sewage dumps into our waters increase by (and this is incredible) 2,900% in 5 years.

Boris Johnson - “We will make Britain a science superpower”. Priti Patel - “This is exactly what our new points-based immigration system was designed for — attracting the best and brightest based on the skills and talent they have, not where they’ve come from.”
