    Yep. Closely following it for obvious reasons.

    I'm not against it. What can we get him on? Impersonating a footballer?

    If Keira Knightley hasn't got a restraining order she should have, I'd start with that.

    The report Behind the Masks; Corruption red flags in COVID-19 public procurement identifies 135 contracts that we believe carry a high risk of corruption. Altogether, these contracts represent a staggering £15.3 billion of public funds—nearly a third of all  pandemic procurement by value. To put this into perspective, that figure is almost equivalent to the entire annual Home Office budget.

    Babelfish says: "you are denied access to timely healthcare, the roads that you try to use to get anywhere are fucked, and your children face the prospect of a lifetime of slavery to financial debt, because the tories stole your money."

    It's a disgrace and there should be prosecutions for fraud and malfeasance in public office and as much should be recovered as is possible. But that's about 1% of the government's annual expediture. On its own, it wouldn't really make a difference.

    Relevant to this discussion is that the increase in public sector spending on pensions increased by £17bn from 22/23 to 23/24: www.statista.com/statistics/298907/united-kingdom-uk-public-sector-expenditure-pensions/#:~:text=The%20government%20of%20the%20United,in%20the%20previous%20financial%20year.

    And that's going to keep going up and up. Unlike covid which was, at least, a one off.
