Looks like another opportunity to remind people of this:
“To change Britain, we must change ourselves – we need to clean up politics. No more VIP fast lanes, no more kickbacks for colleagues, no more revolving doors between government and the companies they regulate. I will restore standards in public life with a total crackdown on cronyism.“
Sir Keir Starmer 2024. |  |

It shouldn’t happen. It’s wrong. £138 Million is big money.
By the way, companies linked to Tory donors received a massive £8.4 BILLION of Govt contracts between 2016 and 2024. That’s 60 times the £138 million. You missed that?

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It’s highly likely that some of the companies who donate will always pick up contracts, for example 3 of the 4 big accountants made donations but the reality is there aren’t many companies who can probably have the size to do the work.
Government and public sector contracts are subject to strict procurement processes and competitive tender, I’m not saying they’re infallible but the processes should be robust. The real issue for me is when contracts are awarded outside the rules and governance structures, for example the Covid contracts via the VIP lane.
According to the Guardian, the Autonomy Institute identified a total of 125 companies that were awarded central government contracts worth £28.8bn after previously making £30.15m of donations to a political party. About £2.5bn worth of those contracts were awarded within two years of the donation.
The consultancy firm “Baringa Partners, who donated £30,061.50 to Labour in January 2024 and received £35,196,719 worth of government contracts between July 2024 and March this year. Grant Thornton donated £81,658.37 between March 2023 and July 2024 (when Labour weren’t even in power) and has since been awarded £6,541,819 in contracts.”
“However, the vast bulk of the contracts – £25.4bn – were awarded under previous Conservative governments to Conservative donors. They include Randox Laboratories and Globus Shetland, both of which were offered contracts during the Covid pandemic.”
The big issue for me is stepping outside proper process, think Covid VIP lane, Mone etc, MP’s lobbying on behalf companies, Patterson who was alleged to have acted as a lobbyist for Randox and even worse Boris who tried to change the rules after the Standards Investigation. | | | |
