This corrupt @Conservatives government is using #Covid19UK for personal enrichment and not helping the common good. Shameful.

1) A thread A tale of two PPE suppliers. The company set up on 12 May 2020 by an associate of a Conservative Peer. The family business in Knowsley, with over 50 years proven track record. One was given a contract for £122 million. The other was given the run around.
When are the police let alone the standards in public life people going to take a proper look at all this ?

#borisjohnson compounds the insult to the nation by dismissing the #cummings outrage as a 'political ding dong' and urging people to 'move on' - and thereby - he hopes - let him off the hook. I doubt the public will 'move on' until #Cummings is moved out.
