Eyeballed what the contractors are doing today and the not-wearing-PPE apparently causes massive postnasal drip. (pro tip: if a substance causes massive respiratory symptoms, generally you should be wearing PPE and there's not enough ventilation).

Good Law Project.
Today we can reveal – after a six month freedom of information battle with the Cabinet Office – that Michael Gove greased the wheels of Unispace’s £679m PPE deals. Details of how they were able to secure a place on the unlawful fast-track scheme have been hidden – until now.

At least £3.67m worth of PPE supplied by Unispace was unusable in an NHS setting.

And we thought the Michelle Moanalot scandal was bad enough.

£680 million!

Old Govey seems to have had a bit of a thing for putting cronies into the VIP lane. Wonder what it was worth to him? Not that I would ever suggest there was any such impropriety. Oh no…

In the fast developing media landscape of the commentariat, already a classic which do you prefer Q. is gaining traction:

Alan Bates (of the scandal) or (of and fame)?

Perhaps most clearly this is a Q. for the legal system that has facilitated & aided Mone in her attempts to avoid scrutiny of he profiteering from , while getting in the way of Bates seeking (and now starting to gain) justice.

the is not so shiny right now...

Anyone out there with technical expertise (like academic / trade / scientific qualification) on technology, specifically about sealing, pressure, airflow, path of least-resistance, and silicone masks, like etc, please get in contact - I have a couple of specific questions with regards to long-term solutions for immune-compromised folks, and they're not questions someone trying to sell me a mask solution is able or willing to answer.

swindler 's attempts to silence investigators by "lawyer's letter" is instructive. Always look up the author on the SRA Solicitors Regulation Authority website. (As the New European newspaper did, to discover the "lawyer" was a struck-off solicitor).
Do likewise for the originators of glossy brochures, featuring smiling receptionists & promises of wall-to-wall service for elderly wanting will drafting, power of attorney etc but silent on, (especially), the fee arrangement.

Marina Hyde offers a nice summary of greed, the scandal & the

'if you made £65m pure profit for helping during the most acute national crisis, then you didn’t help – you helped yourself'!

Amen to that!

Moany McMoneface is stropping out all over X 😂 😂

"Michael Gove and Sir Chris Wormald approved the purchase of 5 years supply of PPE when the remit was to build up only 4 months.
They oversaw huge waste in PPE contracts. They have both had questions to answer for a very long time."

As #RishiSunak scrambles to put some clear blue water between himself & #MichelleMone (presumably far enough that he cannot be reached by helicopter), the bigger issue for people outside the #Tory party (apart from the scandal of #PPE fraud), is her use of lawyers to try to halt press coverage of the accusations earlier in the year (accusations she has no freely admitted are true)...

I wonder if this'll be come the straw that breaks the #SLAPP back?

We can but hope!
