A video projected on the Houses of Parliament has been making the rounds on social media today and has been dubbed the 'story everyone should hear..The Good Law Project https://goodlawproject.org/ have joined up with Led By Donkeys https://www.ledbydonkeys.org/ to expose the truth about the Government's secret back-channel which allowed friends of the Conservative Party and other politically connected suppliers to secure billions of pounds of PPE contracts. This was while overworked NHS staff were struggling to stay safe on the frontline.
Amid court action by the Good Law Project to reveal more about the contracts, the short film raises questions about why the Government is so reluctant to name more of the companies involved in the lucrative PPE schemes.
It raises legal concerns about Downing Street's so called "VIP lane" for select companies and runs through the vast sums awarded to firms owned or linked to associates of top level government officials and helps show the utter contempt they have, for the public for all to see.
It has been released as health minister Lord Bethell comes under scrutiny over his use of private communications channels for official government business.
The Good Law Project has
highlighted dishonesty, obfuscation, illegality, and
cronyism in the awarding of key pandemic contracts
and roles, as well as delivery of protective equipment
and testing
As our government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires. most of whom reside overseas and all of them with strong political allegiances and financial motivations. It is vital that we keep holding this corrupt government to account.
Transparency is essential for any credible government. It shouldn’t take inquiries, whistleblowers, legal
actions, investigative journalists, and public
campaigns to get at truths that should already be in
the public domain,
