Not so fun fact..

If you placed 1 million pallets of PPE side by side they would stretch from John o’Groats to Lands End.

Not only was the VIP Lane unlawful it was also incredibly wasteful. Over half of VIP firms supplied PPE deemed unsuitable for the NHS.

The UK was the only country in the world to set up a VIP lane to procure PPE…

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The previous government also spent £b’s on a 2nd VIP lane procuring Covid Tests

🚨Only referrals from the Conservative Party were successful ⬇️

Thank you Adrian. I really enjoyed speaking with you. 🙏

Great to speak with @goldbergradio.bsky.social on the @bylinetimes.bsky.social podcast.

My new book VIP Lane is available here: viplanebook.com

No other country set up a VIP Lane during the pandemic.

No other European country came close to spending the £14billion we spent on PPE.

£10billion of PPE has been written off.

Over 1million pallets of unused PPE have now been incinerated!

£billions literally up in smoke.

'VIP Lane' author (and producer of the 'Covid Contracts documentary) @russellscott1.bsky.social talks covid cronyism with @mrjamesob.bsky.social – just as PPE Medpro is ordered to pay £122 million for providing unusable gowns.

📺 Fantastic to see @spotlightcorruption.org’s research included in the brilliant ITV documentary ‘The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money’, which was screened on Sunday night. Here’s @suehawley.bsky.social explaining how much of the PPE sourced from the VIP Lane turned out to be unusable.

Billions siphoned. Donors rewarded. Democracy sidelined.

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever This rigorous look at the Tories’ ‘VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

This is an extraordinary piece of telly. Utterly damming of the corruption of the last Conservative Government - and of our political and legal systems which have failed even to aspire to holding those chancers to account.

Available to watch on ITVX. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Thanks mate.

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money, which aired last night on ITV, is a shocking and important film.

It exposes the extent of the corruption and profiteering during the pandemic and shows how the rich and powerful saw the crisis as an opportunity to profit and took it.

1/2

Must see: The Covid Contracts, ITV.

Exposes corruption & profiteering that led to 1000’s of deaths, including my mum who died of covid because her wonderful carers had inadequate PPE.

Thank you @russellscott1.bsky.social et al.
