Latest email from the Good Law Project, following day 1 of the PPE procurement court case. We have a truly corrupt government.
=========

Dear Friend,

Today was the first day of our High Court legal challenge over Government’s award of PPE contracts. Here are three of the most shocking revelations from Court.

1) Government prioritised companies because of who they knew and not what they could deliver. Take Pestfix and Multibrands. Both suppliers emailed the senior official in charge of NHS procurement explaining their ability to supply PPE. Multibrands did so on 20th March 2020, a week before Pestfix. Multibrands received no response.

By contrast, Pestfix’s email resulted in their allocation to the “VIP lane”, where companies were fast-tracked to lucrative contracts. Why? An ex-director of PestFix was an “old school friend” of the official’s father-in-law.

2) Ministers did not want their political contacts to have to wait in line with everyone else. Evidence read out in Court revealed “...ministers and senior officials sometimes introduce offers of PPE and want them personally handled rather than going through surveys and bulk routes. Some of these contacts simply flatly refuse to proceed via a webform....."

3) The banks were so concerned about Government’s lack of due diligence on companies who had been handed huge contracts that they halted payments. An email from a civil servant stated “It is... imperative that we rectify the with supplier due diligence to ensure we do not leave ourselves at unacceptable risk of fraud/loss”

Thank you as ever for your support. There will be more from Court tomorrow. If you’re interested, our skeleton can be read here.

I know exactly why you're commenting on him. Classic deflection tactics.

Whether you think he's a moron or not, what do you think of the content of the email?

Particularly given the quotes do not come from him, but rather evidence given in court.

how is it deflection when he takes high profile cases and a high court judge has poured scorn over his motives - the main motive being making money

Ok, setting that to one side, what do you make of the Government’s behaviour in fast-tracking friends and the highlighted lack of due diligence in agreeing multi-million pound contracts?

It’s an e mail from someone with an agenda to trouser money in my view - it’s ironic as his actions are purely motivated by greed and dubious exploitation’s of the legal system - I’m amazed your such a fan

Is there then? I assume you accept he has a political and financial motivation to continue these cases? He needs to pay for his pad in London and his windmill somehow.

I’m not much of a fan of Hartley Brewer but his pathetic stirring up of the Twitter mob when a few home truths about him came out was snake belly behaviour

Again. Deflecting.

Forget who the email is from. Read the evidence given in court (i.e. not by the author of the email).

What’s the verdict?

Also it’s not deflecting. On the one hand you and people like you defend the likes of Maugham and his behaviour as he supports your political narrative and also at the same time ignore his blatant attempts to use political and tax legislation to feather his own windmill nest

He has zero interest in anything but making money for himself.

Has Mr Johnson been arrested yet? Has Mr Maugham paid the builders half a million quid they took him to court over yet?

Can you point out where I'm defending Maugham or any wrongdoings of his?

Statements of evidence given in court are no less useful or truthful because you don't like Maugham. Yet you keep ignoring them because you don't like him. In the same way you keep ignoring any wrongdoings by the government because you do like them.

Has Mr Johnson paid back the hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers money he used to get a shag out of that American woman?

Has Mr Hancock paid back the billions of pounds he's siphoned off to his mates?

edit: Just a haha like, so I'm assuming the answer to those three questions is 'no'.

His brother was on the radio earlier and this is as shady as fuck. Been numerous enquiries into this this being the the first fully independent one and it sounds like every t has been crossed and every i dotted by everyone from lawyers in various specialist fields and the Met themselves. There has been a trial but it collapsed and one of the people in that trial was employed by the News of the World (amongst other newspapers) has since been jailed over phone tapping I believe, is connected to Andy Coulson etc etc. It sounds like this has more to do with government connections to certain media companies and the government has pulled numerous tricks to delay the publication (including using Prince Phillips death as an excuse) before this latest effort.

One of the stupidest things about Johnson and in particular his performances at PMQs is his misunderstanding of the role of the opposition.

Constantly crying that they don't support him.

Clue is in the name you fucking idiot.

Still, it plays well with his fanboys who also don't understand it.

Not sure if this is true or not but I’ve heard it suggested that a guy from the collapsed trial who then went on to be jailed over phone tapping I think was employed by Coulson upon his release.
