He is director of a company called Sumner Group Holdings, which has interests in a wide range of businesses, including Peruvian and Brazilian gold mines. His stake in the company is said to be worth about £5 million.
“One of its subsidiaries, a nursing recruitment agency called SG Recruitment UK, was awarded two PPE contracts of £23.9 million and £26.1 million last year, despite auditors having expressed concerns about the firm’s solvency.”
I should point out that the red flags re solvency were from the company’s own auditors. So what the hell happed to due diligence?
One of the constant themes of this fiasco is the way this Gov ignored specialists in medical PPE & equipment WHO WERE FINANCIALLY SECURE & with a track record in favour of companies who were not or who had no financial track record at all &/or with no medical supplies background
All this banging on about doing it because they were desperate does not address the blunt fact that they could have addressed their desperation by using track record suppliers…but by some weird coincidence managed to land on party donor and Tory MP mates.
Repeatedly
Often paying (with taxpayer money) well over the odds (even at pandemic prices) and getting unsuitable or defective supplies in return.

Early on she experienced tachycardic, at 140 beats per minute (bpm), and breathless, with a respiratory rate of 20–24 at rest.
“My heart rate would increase further, to 170 bpm, on standing and with minimal exertion, such as getting a drink or using the bathroom.”
“I began having cyclic attacks of pins and needles in all four limbs and violent entire-body shaking. The shaking was as violent as seizure, but it wasn’t one because I was conscious.”
Now what could it be about the delightful Reginald D Hunter talking to her (overpaid on taxpayer money) daughter that would result in Dorries using a hash #wheresmyshotgunman
Quite apart from the comments to which @MrJohnNicolson refers being libellous they breach the codes of conduct for MPs and pulls the House and politics into disrepute.
But does put her up there with Johnson’s intemperate comments.
It is feared that incorrect Covid test results have been sent out to the public from the lab, run by the diagnostics firm Immensa, with staff allegedly forced to operate faulty machines without proper protective equipment, risking cross-contamination & spoiled samples
One whistleblower said the tips were incompatible with the machine and kept falling into the wells where the Covid sample solution was held. “I had to put my hand into the machine to retrieve the tips. This was the only option but it increased the risk of contamination,” 😱
New recruits at the lab, located in Loughborough, were never given formal training and Covid sample waste was not disposed of correctly, whistleblowers have told The Independent.

1 yr follow up of mild Covid cases
📌The mean age of the study population was 51.6 ± 10.8 years.
📌120 patients, 104 (86.7%) were cases of non-severe COVID-19.
📌Pulmonary diffusion impairment was reported in 30 (26.1%) out of 115 patients, and 24 (24.2%) out of the 99 non-severe cases.
The values of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FVC/FEV1, vital capacity (VC), total lung capacity (TLC), and residual volume (RV) were less than the normal range in 1.7, 8.6, 0.9, 11.2, 7.0, and 0.9% of the patients, respectively.
