Whether it be writing off £4.3bn in fraudulent Covid loans or dishing out PPE contracts to their mates, this Govt is good at blowing taxpayers money.
Yet they claim there's no money to give public sector workers the pay rises they deserve.
A🧵on their catalogue of waste:
#PMQs
💰£13 billion of waste at the Ministry of Defence since 2010.
💰£4 billion on unusable PPE.
💰£4.9 billion lost to Covid loan fraud.
💰A £2.3 billion fine paid after the UK allowed Europe to be flooded with cheap goods from Chinese fraudsters.
Incredibly, the £2.3bn fine the Govt had to pay equates to a 20% pay rise for NHS nurses in England - £7,000 each for those on an average salary.
This Govt is reckless with public money. What they wasted could have been spent on the vital public services we all depend on.
Contrary to the PM’s muddled response, @UKLabour and I support working people: the public knows that.
His Government is blowing public money but they don’t care...
@UKLabour would treat public money with the respect it deserves.
That’s why we’ll set up an Office for Value for Money to make sure public spending targets the national interest.
It’s time for a change. It’s time for a Labour Government.
