Michelle Mone received £29m of pure profit, because her husband helped secure £200m of useless PPE.
RT if you would like to get the money back and toss them both in jail.

Even now I cannot get my head around the staggering £37 BILLIONS allocated to a two year test and trace scheme, of which almost £30 billions were spent. It was hardly a roaring success.
Where did all the money go and what were they thinking?

Studies have repeatedly found that retail business operators tend to overestimate the proportion of their customers who travel by car.
In Berlin, for example, retailers estimated that 22 per cent of their customers drove. In fact it was only 7 per cent.

Gap between political classes and the people has never been wider in my lifetime. Starmer I don’t think has even begun to get that and his Tory-lite make-a-success-of-Brexit and keep-partying-with-Murdoch approach just isn’t going to cut it. teapawt.org/rwehavenfunyet/status/…

A gong if you can guess what the majority of these Tory politicians have in common…

"Thames Water boss Sarah Bentley quits £1.6m a year job after giving up her bonus amid fury over sewage leaks."
TW aren't the only water company in serious financial trouble which raises the question what the fu*k was @ofwat doing the last 30 years?

Since being privatised, water companies, which started out with no debt, have used their monopoly status to build up a debt mountain of £53 BILLION - essentially maxing out their credit cards and handed out that money to their shareholders.

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m.
On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour.
His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour.
I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis.
The silence was deafening.

Sainsbury’s CEO gets paid almost £4m in bonuses, on top of his salary. He’s on £2,298 per hour, while Sainsbury workers are getting £11 per hour.
And we get told workers salaries are driving inflation.
Rubbish, it’s the greed of the elite driving inflation.

Please support @RMTunion in the fight to keep ticket offices open. I find ticket machines inaccessible, screen small, rarely work. Feel safe knowing ticket office staff in office.

The number of people waiting for NHS care has trebled since the Conservatives came to power. Glad to have helped Glastonbury remind the country that our health service is worth fighting for.

🚨 In 2020 the Russian embassy told the British government the Kremlin “of course” welcomed a peerage for Evgeny Lebedev
It said Boris Johnson’s nominee had strengthened UK-Russia ties
And said he could use Moscow in his title(!)— an unprecedented step
