There was concern that richboy might be able to steer the Tory ship to a brighter tomorrow..... but instead he seems to be heading for icebergs of his own making...........

'PPE losses rise to £14.9 billion'
The Department of Health and Social Care’s annual accounts for 2021-22 have revealed a further £6 billion write down in connection with PPE and other inventory. This follows a staggering £8.9bn write down in 2020-21.
The annual accounts also reveal that storage costs were running at approximately £24m per month. Good Law Project has previously revealed that PPE storage costs exceed £1bn in total and hundreds of millions of pounds were going to Uniserve, a ‘VIP’ that had also supplied substantial quantities of PPE.

That number probably equated to the percentage of his time spent working for his constituents rather than himself.

The man is despicable - and those who vote for him are idiots.

In fairness when they voted there was no inkling of how bad an MP he would be.

The idiots are the people who watched the show and wasted their money on the phone voting for him. That is where the £320.000 came from

I post this for completeness. Nadhim Zahawi sacked https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-64439757

I suppose it begs the question. What took Sunak so long and rubbish to any one who spouts due process.
