And yet they don't go after the PPE fraudsters? Weird that eh, or perhaps he just couldn't afford an expensive lawyer to get him off, or perhaps didn't have the staff to blame and deny fraud as it was somone else who signed the paperwork, come on! small fish...
Well, it all went according to the plan. Nation is suffering to fill that pot again. Fake and bogus democratic system, just a facade
What about the 100's of firms set up by members of the cabinet?
Tory government: Don't worry about it.
On the other hand my company, and many others I know of, would have gone to the wall without it.
Sunak's fraud scheme we're paying for that too
mikegalsworthy PorscheGB had more than one customer blatantly announce they were buying cars with their £50k covid money AND that the government would never ask for it back…..Porsche can’t be the only ones with stories like this 🤷🏻♀️

incompetent government fail to carry out correct vetting and due diligence
Well, who knew? The government should be chasing all the companies that fraudulently claimed and get it back with massive interest.
