    "The government is always saying it wants to talk about things that matter to people, yet it simply will not talk, in public and apologetically, about the grotesque profiteering that happened during Covid." Marina Hyde

  3. Levelling up: More than 90% not yet spent

    UK government has spent less than 10% of £4.8bn fund for #levellingUp since its launch in 2020

    Figures obtained by #Labour show £392m has been spent as of last month.

    The fund awarded £1.7bn to projects in October 2021 & another £2.1bn in January 2023

    So much for the #redWall being rewarded for voting the #toriesOut into power

    Now - had they arranged a priority queue for their own like #ppeProfiteers it would all have been spent (on yachts)

    Yes the UK is odd in many ways, many of them less than good.

    But I'm not that interested in oddities that nobody will do anything about - the #monarchy for example we are stuck with barring a catastrophe - recent protest in #france when compared to the rather supine reaction of #uk protest to (say) wholesale theft of our taxes by #ppeProfiteers shows not much has changed in contrast since 1789 (swearing at people on social media changes nothing - burn stuff guys if you are angry!)

    #MattHancock assisted Ecolog International onto the ‘VIP’ lane after being contacted by Genix Healthcare – a company that has donated £156,000 to the Conservative Party. Hancock’s Department paid Ecolog £38m in 2021, after the Government decided not to proceed with previously contracted Covid work

    Not vanity - simply #labour self-interest in prioritising a #reform that does not enable #indy

    And getting rid of #lords who are #russianOligarch or #ppeProfiteers would be a great improvement

    All UK-wide parties are #unionist - what do you expect?
