As long as people associate identity with politics instead of competence, nothing much will change.

Judging by recent voting intention polls, the class system is very much alive and well in England and the masses are happy to turn a blind eye to Old Etonians earning millions whilst keeping the ordinary man in his place.

As a nation, we have never really taken inspiration from Oliver Twist - perhaps we should.

Absolutely.

There seems to be some voter apathy. Whatever party it is, whatever country, people still vote for them.

The expenses “scandal” occurred under a Labour Government and the general public were suitably outraged over a few thousand pounds here and there.

This current level of corruption is on another level entirely and yet the cap doffers accept that Old Etonians are OK to grift whilst they suffer.

Agree to some extent regarding PPE etc....though there was a massive shortage world wide and was a case of get what you can from wherever it comes.

The latest 2 "scandals" are political point scoring from Starmer et al as they are way behind in polls on just about every measure.

Blair was giving away all sorts of PFI stuff to "Tony's Cronies" and was taking up positions with companies and lobbying like mad well within the 2 year window which the rules state.

Cameron out of office over 5 years before he started....no rules broken...no story here (other than maybe the rules need to be changed?).

Hancock and his sister and the NHS contract....?

1 The contract was awarded by the WELSH NHS. This was awarded by a LABOUR administration so kinda shot in the foot from Starmer.

2 Hancock and sister are shareholder...not directors/employees or anything with influence.

3 The contract was awarded in 2019. Hancock only bought shares last year.

You would think that, given his background, Starmer would check his facts before opening his mouth!

Nick Hancock was gifted shares. He checked through the appropriate channels on possible conflict of interests, and satisfied all the criteria, before accepting the shares.

Its a non-story.

. It is hardly corruption unless money changes hands and the transactions are not transparent . Whether we like it or not , these scenarios happy throughout the world and even within trade unions . In many cases jobs for dockers and tube drivers were handed out based on family connections and influence , not on merit .

.Hello. At best all friendship / connections will do is help you to climb the first rung of the ladder. Any government payments have to go through a rigorous authorisation process . It would be extremely difficult , if not impossible to circumvent all these stages. You need to get a purchase order approved, the service provided receipted ,and for the payment to be authorised all parameters must match . At the initial tendering stage you will also be competing against a number of other organisations.

With all these controls in place , I do not think that we have too much to worry about.

More than £19 billion of Covid related contracts plus the billions wasted on Serco Test and Trace would suggest that poster above is recycling false information. Neither the £19 billion of mainly PPE contracts, nor Test and Trace was but through any kind of competitive and transparent process.

. Hello. The contracts referred to were secured in a time of national crisis and were required urgently. No rational organisation could wait three months to go through the normal authorisation process when peoples lives were at risk. It would be interesting to see what evidence there is ( if any ) to back up the statement that money was wasted on track and trace.

I have never worked on a system implementation in my entire life that has gone according to plan . In this case the circumstances of the implementation were exceptional and the end result was achieved after encountering a few teething problems.

Would residents of the UK preferred that people died while we searched for better value for money contracts?.

The end result is that we have a world leading vaccination programme. Most people will overlook a few mistakes along the way in a time of crisis.

There will be an enquiry in due courses.

If the (current version of the) Conservatives are in Government at the time, the enquiry will actually be a cover up. If a reasonable Government is in power, we might just see people being held to account.

"Basically the tories are in because there was no credible opposition at the time of the election, I thought starmer may provide a better opposition but to be honest he has been rubbish, and Labour are still not providing a credible opposition "

The upcoming elections should provide an opportunity for Labour to make some gains especially with what's been revealed about Cameron ect . These sort of elections are often used as a protest vote by voters and a building block by opposition parties

The BBC being anti Tory is making a big issue of this but it is like the EU there anti Tory bias seems to have little effect on voting.

The reason is that people realise that all polititions are the same in all parties.

Tony Benn wasn't. Probably the last MP to have any integrity whatsoever. I would never have voted for him but had massive respect....shame his son isn't of the same cloth.
