Big losses on PPE. "Here is the excerpt from the DHSC annual report: “The Department estimates that there has been a loss in value of £8.7 billion of the £12.1 billion of PPE purchased in 2020-21." The impairment relates to £0.67 billion - "PPE which cannot be used, for instance because it is defective." £2.6 billion - "PPE which is not suitable for use within the health and social care sector but which the Department considers might be suitable for other uses (although these potential other uses are as yet uncertain)." £0.75 billion - "PPE which is in excess of the amount that will ultimately be needed." £4.7 billion - "Adjustment to the year-end valuation of PPE due to the market price of equivalent PPE at the year-end being lower than the original purchase price." In other words the DHSC paid above the odds for more PPE than was needed, tons of which are not fit for purpose. A jaw dropper, even in jaw-dropping times." www.itv.com/news/2022-02-01/covid-government-discloses-87-billion-of-losses-on-ppe But what about all the Gold Gordon Brown sold on the cheap ?

energy prices may rise by 50%.
Shell makes a profit of $19.3 billion this year.

All that people seem to get upset about is when the gov get TOO aristocratic, parties etc. There's something inherently stupid about Brits, they have to keep this fake stiff upper lip thing when getting absolutely shafted. Keep calm and carry on whilst we take all of your money!

I have more than my share of Tory voting friends, most vote for them because they believe they are wealthier than what they actually are and wouldn't dare vote Labour as that's what the poor do.

There is very little difference between the two parties when you step back and look at the whole picture
