You see they are saying that they paid out all this money (BJ is proud of it) yet they cannot afford to provide hungry children with meals. Dont they eat at weekends.

Another whining Lefty thread. Business involves middlemen, sweeteners and all the rest and always has. The money involved is tiny in the grand scheme. You honestly think it's 'tiny'? Jesus.

They love wasting money - the whole model needs to be changed. When a dept or council remains within budget they need to be rewarded, not penalised with budget cuts.

What is tiny in comparison to the money wasted was the amount Marcus Rashford wanted for school meals over the holiday yet you had a problem with that for some reason. I wonder why.

It is time for Boris to be taken to one side and told some home truths about how to run a country and how not too. The constant question dodging and semantics in most Govt spokespersons answers are embarrassing to anyone who voted for them. Unless things change there will be a record reduction in Tory seats at the next election and only a break up in Labour might save us. I concur that BJ doesn't answer the questions put to him in PMQ's. He is perhaps the most evasive PM I've seen since PMQ was televised. The procurement scandal of PPE needs to be addressed head-on. The trouble is, all the c-units in the HoC have their fingers in so many pies. They get paid a full-time wage, plus expenses, plus hiring their family as staff, and yet they have spare time for 'Consultancy Work' with big companies where they court Government contracts. That's why there won't be an investigation. Because they all do it.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

I must admit I struggle. What I don't get is the need for third parties? Surely you task civil servants with going direct to manufacteurs or wholesalers? I struggle with huge aspects of all Government, at every level, procurement. On a much smaller level I once saw a bill presented to a leaseholder of an ex-council property for over £8000 for double glazing. He spoke to the contractors actually doing the work who were being paid £1200. The difference in the two was quite staggering. I think that the one big thing that’s come from this pandemic is the realisation that the Civil Service is not fit for purpose. Boris cannot be an expert at everything but should be able to rely on those who are being paid far more than their worth to properly advise him.

When all is said and done we will have a whole series of independent enquires chaired by the normal self serving cronies, coining hundreds of thousand of pounds to write reports that neither confirm or deny whether things were done fairly or not. Most of which will be ordered by Starmer and his mates.

How anyone can defend this, says more about them than any right minded folk. The most corrupt and quite possibly useless cabinet ever.
