It’s a side show and the Tories are making full use of it. The beginning of this month they announced that £1 billion worth of useless PPE had been incinerated. Because of the sideshow most “quality press” were reporting on what at most other times would be viewed as a provincial issue not worthy of their time.
A full 20% of all UK covid contracts raised the red flag for possible corruption, so the £1 billion highlighted above is not likely to be the last we hear of wasted public money.
Tory peer Michelle Mone and her husband were also mentioned for a contract charged to the public purse for £122 Million. However the committee found that the Chinese supplier confirmed they had only charged £46 million, that’s one heck of a profit. To rub salt in the wounds the products purchased were unusable.
I cant help thinking if you really were concerned about political corruption you would be having a field day about the Tories rather than the SNP, but I suppose it takes all sorts.
