👀 Read impt covid inquiry report findings on UK Govt ‘VIP lane’ used to procure PPE frm people with political connections incl friend of Michael Gove’s who ran a fashion company. PPE bought through VIP lane was of poorer quality & higher cost. @lawrencedunhill.bsky.social @cbffjuk.bsky.social

The Covid-19 Inquiry has today released its findings on Module 5, including the ‘VIP Lane’, which enabled suppliers with political connections to win huge PPE contracts during the pandemic 🧵1/

My Dad was a London bus driver who contracted Covid and died, because he had no PPE or modifications on his bus. So it breaks my heart to have it confirmed that £10bn was wasted on PPE that was not fit for purpose. How many deaths could have been avoided had the Conservatives used proper channels.

📢 Our full statement responding to the 5th report of the Covid-19 Inquiry - which covered the Government's procurement failings, including the £10 BILLION wasted on PPE

For me, Starmer's greatest achievement will always be taking a Labour party rotten with antisemitism (which many people seem to have either forgotten or found it in their interests to deny, despite the EHRC ruling) and transforming it into a serious political party again. I thank him for that.

Very pleased to give bereaved families’ statement following publication today of #covidinquiry report into procurement. Lays bare the corruption & cronyism that led to avoidable deaths, incl my mum’s, & wasted billions of public £. @cbffjuk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

‘Catastrophic failure’: UK Covid families welcome inquiry findings on PPE

Campaigners feel vindicated by some of report’s conclusions but are unconvinced by its verdict on VIP lane

Rupert Lowe MP told Joe Rogan, on his podcast, that he was a “pure blood” for refusing a Covid vaccine. Vaccines saved 14m+ lives globally in their first year. Covid death rates were 32x higher in unvaccinated people. Lowe’s dangerous conspiracy theories put lives at risk.

Joining in everyone else’s (mostly) uninformed speculation: a possibility that Streeting could return as SoS Health & Social Care. Gulp. The champagne corks that were popping all over the NHS the day he resigned might have to be forced back in. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
