Depressing as appears little can be done to hold this Govt to account. Can't keep relying on expensive court cases. We elect & pay MPs to scrutinise, hold to account etc.

Most businesses eligible for emergency grants announced in October are still waiting for their local authority to pay. Councils say they want more guidance, yet central government says they don't need it. In the meantime companies are running out of cash

Laughable if it weren't so sad that this is still an issue - 'spokeswoman for the Assoc said it was “committed to appointing at least one racially & ethnically diverse board member by 2024”!

Supermarkets received £1.36bn of business rates relief, without any conditions. Tesco, Sainsbury and Wm Morrison have declared dividends of £1.35bn. This is a huge wealth transfer from taxpayers to shareholders and executives, and is unwarranted.

#Labour challenges Liz Truss over benefits to UK from Japan FTA. Govt study indicates Japanese exporters will get 83% of the benefit & UK exporters just 17%!
Easy to sign deals when you're giving away the lion's share. The incompetence is staggering!

Time to stop lining consultants' pockets with our money esp as not delivering. Give money to GPs, build up local PHE Trace & Trace systems, give local authorities money for ads about how to wear masks properly, hire local tracers & empower them to enforce rules.
What a waste!
Here’s the full story, now up on the @skynews website. The government is paying senior executives from private sector management consulting firms day rates of £7,000. More than any other state worker (I think including @GaryLineker): news.sky.com/story/coronavir…

Very sad that our moral compass is being replaced by expensive navigational ones that play to a certain audience
Before #COVIDー19 I joked Johnson would commission a new royal boat & a new presidential plane. But with UK death toll near 50,000 & predicted 8% unemployment rate this is utterly immoral
