What a waste

WE are learning how the Conservatives cannot be trusted with taxpayers’ money as they admitted to £8.7billion losses on Covid PPE contracts worth £12.1bn.

Every piece of unusable, unsuitable and overpriced equipment is charged to the British public and the colossal waste of our money by the Government is indefensible.

Add other unacceptable bills such as the £4.3bn in loans and financial support written off as Covid fraud and the total tops £12bn before other areas are counted – enough to cancel a year’s National Insurance rises or suspend BBC licence fees for nearly four years.
