“Paying prisoners money to destroy stuff we never needed but bought for billions from ministers’ friends feels like a Mafia TV series plot. In fact, it’s just everyday life in the UK under this government.” Jolyon Maugham, Good Law Project

@goodlawproject I first misread that as ‘pensioners’, but maybe that’s the next idea…can imagine Rees Mogg preaching it’s a way to make them ‘earn’ their pension money! What a government of criminals we have!

@goodlawproject Jings! What's startling about that story is this picture, which allegedly shows shipping containers full of PPE and other emergency Covid supplies bought by the UK government (mostly from Conservative donors and other cronies) but never used.
