"The insider was also told she was paid 30% - likely a seven-figure sum - of Worldlink's profits on the deals. But Ms Ley's lawyers would not tell the BBC how much commission she earned." bbc.co.uk/news/uk-564005…
If we could see the meta story of PPE deals this - well connected and usually undisclosed parties brokering deals for money - would be a big part of it.
I make no allegations about Ms Ley but where you have undisclosed insiders brokering contracts with companies - especially in combination with the VIP lane and companies being introduced by Ministers - you have the clearest possible opportunity for corruption.
This whole situation - and Government's continuing refusal to come clean about the VIP lane or publish all the deals (on which subject more tomorrow) - is really really sickening.
You might almost think that Government held back the interesting contracts until they hoped everyone would be bored. 
God alone knows why everyone refuses to call them VIP contracts. Here is a screen grab from a Government PowerPoint slide that was leaked to us. See the bit I've highlighted in orange? See the letters "VIP"?
And here's another screen grab, again using the letters VIP. I guess some truths are just too uncomfortable for the British establishment to speak.
Here's Zoe's new company. Looks like she's moving into Covid testing. Well, wouldn't you if you were her? Doesn't quite answer the question why she's winning contracts though.
