This government came to power on a promise to restore trust in politics. That promise cannot be fulfilled unless it takes on the Covid clawback fight in full.

A great result (& great headlines 👇) on #PPEMedpro but just the first step. 1️⃣ Will the government claw the money back & hold directors accountable? 2️⃣ Will this be the start of a wider push, not the end? We need 10–12 more cases like this to recover the estimated £1.5bn lost on substandard PPE.
