Tory corruption: how many Covid-19 contracts went to party donors?
The image above tells a shameful story.
And it’s one the Tory government seems very keen to cover up.
Frances Stanley is said to have been handed a PPE contract worth £14.4 million of public money by the Tories after her husband donated £5,000 to Matt Hancock’s office.
She had no previous professional experience of providing such equipment and subsequently failed to fulfil the contract.
She handed back the government’s £7.2 million deposit – but the episode wasted valuable time when people were dying of a deadly disease for lack of protective equipment.
We don’t seem to know whether her application was handled on the so-called “fast lane” provided to Tory donors in order to help them jump the queue for these lucrative contracts.
But we do know that she is the wife of a Tory donor who received millions of pounds to provide a service she was unqualified to do, and whose failure is likely to have cost many lives.
And it is time we knew exactly how many of these duff contracts have been handed out.
We need a list of all contracts that have been handed to people connected to Tory donors, stating clearly whether these contracts were handed out via the “fast lane” system, how much money was handed over, and whether the contract was fulfilled.
Then we’ll be able to start working out the depth of corruption to which your government sank while your relatives and friends were dying.
