Good Law Project🚨NEW: Introductions from just six Conservative Party politicians led to ‘VIPs’ being awarded Covid testing contracts worth an eye-watering £5 billion.
Here are our key findings...🧵

💰Innova Medical landed Covid contracts valued at £4 billion via the VIP lane after its UK partner, a company trading under the name ‘Tried & Tested’ contacted Boris Johnson’s former advisor, Dominic Cummings.
💰Surescreen Diagnostics landed a £500m contract after Liam Fox MP referred the firm to Matt Hancock – Surescreen subsequently donated £20,000 to Liam Fox.
💰Matt Hancock assisted Ecolog Int. onto the VIP lane after being contacted by Genix Healthcare – a company that's donated £156,000 to the Tories.
His Department paid Ecolog £38m in 2021, after the Government decided not to proceed with previously contracted Covid work.
💰Conservative Peer Lord Prior introduced a company called LumiraDx to Lord Bethell. The firm was awarded Covid contracts worth over £45 million.
💰Lord Bethell referred a company called OptiGene Ltd after being contacted by a Cabinet Office official – OptiGene were subsequently awarded a £322m contract, leading to a 1221% increase in profits.
💰Another Conservative Peer, Lord Lansley, introduced a company called Accoro onto the VIP lane.
LJHblurbsmith💰Only Conservative Party Peers, MPs and donors appear to be named as referrers – no politician from any other political party succeeded in referring suppliers onto the Covid testing VIP lane.

And that’s what this UK government, and the last one, and the one before, will forever be known for. Kleptocracy.
