Tories can’t prove £259 BILLION of public procurement was spent ‘wisely’
This is your money – squandered mostly on Covid-related contracts, from the look of it.
Here’s some detail:
Public Accts Comm
🔹Tory govt unable to prove £259bn was spent wisely in 21/22
🔹More than £100bn of contracts were NOT subject to competition
🔹"continuing lack of transparency around publicly funded contracts”How much is given to Tory friends? #Mone https://t.co/AluqVQLXDi

The findings follow heavy criticism of government procurement particularly during the Covid pandemic, including the use of a VIP lane for potential suppliers of personal protective equipment who had links to politicians or government officials. A court ruled last year that the priority lane set up to collate PPE bids was unlawful because it failed to comply with public contract regulations.
About those Covid contracts…

Working with @GoodLawProject🔹In 2020, Tory peer Lord Chadlington referred a company SG Recruitment, with no PPE experience, to the VIP lane.
🔹He sent his referral to Lord Feldman, another Tory peer.

It's a day of the week with a 'y' in it – which means another Tory VIP PPE contract, this time involving two Tory peers: Lord Chadlington and Lord Feldman. https://t.co/3ca2YuEyr3

Why aren’t the fascist tories investigating this widespread fraud and corruption??? Why aren’t the fascist tories demonising all those fascist tory supporters who were given millions of our public money which they claimed would be used to purchase PPE?? Why are disabled women and men still being demonised as ‘scroungers and shirking working’ as claimed by the fascist tories?
Answer because our public money must not be spent on supporting disabled women and men and allowing them (sic) but in reality it is their right, to have dignity and quality of life. No no no our public money is the property of the fascist tories and to date £259 billion has been fraudulently awarded to greedy fascist tory supporters and friends!
‘Corruption what corruption’ say the fascist tories – ‘oh you mean all those lazy unemployed and disabled women and men who refuse to work for a pittance! Our fascist tory supporters and friends are entitled to receive huge sums of money because this is how we maintain our power by rewarding our corrupt friends!
