So not only the #Tories #covid19 #VIPlane was declared illegal for sheer #cronyism, have to dispose of £4billions worth of unusable PPE https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1435 (That's more than double what the government won't spend on #juniordoctors), but now it turns out they won't fork the money of disposal and #flytip instead https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/inside-ppe-dumping-ground-thousands-30263976#comments-wrapper. Speculations run high the dumper might be Steven Parkin, major Tory donor & VIP lane beneficiary through Clippers Venture, located 28 miles from the dump site.

"The £25.8m contract for Luxe Lifestyle to supply masks and gowns did not appear on the government’s list of 47 firms on the VIP lane, which it was ordered to reveal in 2021.

However, both the Cabinet Office report and the leaked government documents suggest it was a VIP lane contract. The government had no explanation for the discrepancy"

"What is slowly emerging – and there is more to come – is that we haven’t been told the truth about the #VIPlane. There was a whole cottage industry of Tory hangers on making referrals into the VIP lane for commission – and none of them have been named." #PPE #corruption

Can any of the #ToryPeers or #ToryMPs on here refer me to the #VIPLane [™️©️®️] for my new #PPE scheme?

The govt is attempting to get its #money #back on one of the deals, for the supply of medical gowns during the pandemic, in the High Court.
PPE Medpro said it would "rigorously" defend the claim.
The company accused the govt of a "cynical attempt" to recover money from suppliers who had acted in good faith+to contract specifications.”

Quite staggeringly the VIP lane is still open and they are still lining their own pockets with taxpayers money. Now over £1bn and rising by £1m a day, yet they tell us there is not enough money to pay nurses a fair wage.
