more names are coming out relating to the insider trading betting scandal.

I guess they watched the Tory front bench making squillions for their cronies out of PPE, and decided to grab a tiny bit for themselves.

And now the Tory Party Chief Data Officer is being investigated for dozens of bets all under £100. Maybe he thought no one would notice.

It seems to have been normalised. Imo it’s all down to Johnson who was/is totally devoid of any morality and it just filtered down through his government.

Didn’t the Conservatives promise to put some sort of cap on the amount of money from the sale of your house that would go towards nursing home fees but then didn’t implement it? I’m sure that I was tempted to vote for them because of it.

Yes, you're right, but for some reason the idea was "twisted" and it was never implemented.

And now the BBC has found that the Tories are having to destroy about £1 billion of perfectly good PPE equipment which was massively over purchased. Good at business, aren't they?
