And the PPE hits just keep on coming. £14.28m to a company that specialises in the "Wholesale of sugar and chocolate and sugar confectionery" ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NO…
I mean, I think this stuff is quite interesting. Dominic Cummings' post Brexit procurement regime seems to involve shovelling vast sums of public cash out of the door to the weirdest companies.

But, without your help, we'll have to just let it go. crowdjustice.com/case/108millio…
If you can't get worked up about a company that rather sweetly put up a crowdfunder saying it didn't really know what it was doing in the healthcare sector but nevertheless, according to the Official Journal, got a £108m contract from Hancock then we might as well all go home.

We are already pursuing a
Government over the £108m PPE contracts it said it entered into with a chocolatier and a supplier of pigeon netting.

I know there's only so much of this weirdness you can take but here are two more.

First Aventis Solutions Limited.
It's an employment agency with net assets of £322.
You may think it is not the most obvious place from which to purchase £18.5m worth of facemasks (for which contract it was apparently the only bidder). This Government disagrees. ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NO…

Genuinely humbled by the flood of financial support for @GoodLawProject this last week. This year alone, we have brought litigation demanding free school meals over the summer holidays; removal of the planning bias in favour of fossil fuel infrastructure;... /1
... a public inquiry over mishandling PPE; for Government to provide children who cannot access education online with devices; challenging the award of vast public procurement contracts to unknowns. We have threatened Wetherspoons with action for failing to pay staff. We are...
working with @Gingerbread and @MumsnetTowers to threaten legal proceedings if the Child Maintenance Service does not collect maintenance for single (usually) mothers living in poverty. We are likely to sue Government for failing to revise air pollution limits in light of Covid.

So back in November there was a mudslide by an old quarry in Mansfield. And man of the moment Robert Jenrick paid a visit, at which he met Mansfield Mayor Andy Abrahams. chad.co.uk/news/people/ma…
And Andy Abrahams emerges from the meetings with a sense that Jenrick is going to do rather more to help with the quarry works than the modest contribution Jenrick actually makes.

And he writes to Jenrick expressing his disappointment. (The "Ben" is Ben Bradley, the local MP).
Anyway, Bradley doesn't like Abrahams writing to Jenrick in these terms and he write back to Abrahams speaking the language known to local Government everywhere "your letter risks damaging the Secretary of State's goodwill."
