- Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones confronted Chancellor Jeremy Hunt on crony PPE contracts that still have not been named in the public domain.
The Government has written off £10bn on unusable, overpriced, or undelivered PPE since the beginning of the pandemic.

Darren Jones is possibly the best MP in parliament at the moment
Every time I've seen him on a select committee he's impressed me and held people to account as he should, I really hope he can provide candid answers when he is held to account if Labour win at the election (if it ever gets called).
He does but dont forget Andrew Bridgen no 1 in my book @@cheeseburgerbeefcake
@@paulwainwright6903 But Bridgen is a tory right wing scumbag.

Vote these criminals out.

👍yes👍👍
How? They refuse to call a General Election.
@@PurityVendetta Why should they. if some one else sees the evedence they could enf up in chokey
Definitely
Hunt says they took drastic action but there were reputable companies waiting to provide equipment at lower prices and the tories ignored them in favour of tory friends and families at higher prices
Possible commissions ? Or a seat on the board, after their political career ends ? That is pretty standard procedure these days.
'drastic action' means ignoring the 100s of offers from british companies that already made PPE items to give their mates a brucie bonus
@@neilbower9052 exactly. Corruption not even hidden.
yep we had take drastic action cos some ...unt as health sec left us unprepared
Exactly,well said.
The VIP Lane PPE scandal shines a spotlight on the mainstream medias bias towards the Tories because it's one of the biggest government scandals in UK history and barely gets any media coverage.
@chaptermastermarneuscalgar6926 Lets not forget the largest transfer of wealth in history from the people of this country. During a 'pandemic' I really need convincing it was all about a killer airborne virus.
Spot on 100%
Absolutely Correct!
They own the media. They're intertwined with the BBC too, you can see debates are always sandbagged by hosts in support of Tory talking points. It's maybe eased a little lately as it's getting harder and harder to spin.. but it's all rotten.
It doesn’t take much to guess why that is the case. Just look at how MSM coverage is on Tory and Labour government. Completely differently. Media bosses are all conservatives so no surprises there and journalists will kiss the backside of their editors and their agendas to keep their jobs rather than honest independent journalism which is few and far between. It’s emerging more now due to social media platforms so hopefully legacy media will die out eventually over time and bring power to the real truth. We can only hope!
'Lost' over £8 Billion out of a budget of £12 Billion...IN ONE YEAR....repeat..ONE YEAR...and that's on the Parliamentary website.
Lost, u don't lose that amount of money, that's industrial fraud on a grand scale.
NASA sent a rover and drone to Mars for less than the amount wasted by this corrupt Tory government!
@paul8161 Indeed it is. Its scandalous.
Thieves and vagabonds running the country! It is of no wonder that the Scots wish for independence so they can be rid of these multi billion fraudsters.
@@paul8161 a bit like 2.3 trillion dollars lost the day before 9/11......same shit different day
Jeremy C-hunt !! criminals walking around in suits.
check Tory offshore bank accounts, there you'll find ALL the money plus.
Some of those "very difficult decisions" involved ignoring our home-grown professional PPE providers in favour of the Conservative's VIP lane.
All Governments will need to make difficult decisions, the important part is whether they were correct or not - £8bn "lost".
Labour should not let this one go until money is returned and people are jailed for fraud and corruption.
Including the MPS who Authorised it ?
Nice to see that since I've been away. Everybody has achieved a grand total of.......nothing!
But Labour will
Crooked cronies and crooked Tories they both drink out of the same trough.
The difficult decisions was deciding which friends would get the best contracts. It took corruption to a new level.
Spot on...'if we frame it as 'taking difficult decisions', joe public will think we're serious at being tough and taking the 'right' decisions for the country as a whole'...
🎯
Why would they chase the money they'd only be chasing one of their friends
And of course possible kick backs paid of shore????
You can name someone if you are taking legal action against them, nothing apart from the old boys network stops you from naming them in the house.
Absolutely. MP's can use parliamentary privilege to name someone without fear of it harming any investigation.
You would have to know what you were doing to name them. Sadly I don’t think that “ know what they’re doing” applies to the conservatives unless it fiddling.
Funny that- they had no problem naming Angela Raynor after referring her to the police for an investigation. Utter scumbags.
the names of the suspected companies belongs to the police? what a load of bollocks.
If it were an overpayment of benefits. They’d claw back every penny.
We'd be pulled in and they will make a huge issue of it
Because they are corrupt
Arrests?? Has miss Mone been nicked?? Matt Hancock?? Michael Gove??
Dido Harding? Hiding?
No chance don't forget Track and Trace 34 billion
Why would they grass them selves up??? The next gov needs to do a full proper investigation with criminal charges when necessary..
The next government NEEDS TO. Agreed. Whether they will, is another story. The PPE scandal is wholesale theft on a grand scale. Some people should be behind bars.
Unfortunately, can you guarantee that it is JUST a Tory problem ? There's a Polish saying. The trough remains the same. Only the pigs (will) have changed.
NB. Tony Blair and His Lordship Peter Mandelson, seem to be buzzing around Keir Starmer an awful lot recently. They can sense all that lovely power, that will soon be within reach. I doubt that Labour will be as bad as the Tories; at least I hope they won't. But I doubt they'll be perfect either.
The way they can do this is to get more staff, give them the money to investigate criminality. I hope they go for it. The ppe is just one part, there is also the failed track and trace and at leasg one company who were paid despite not even fulfilling their contract
How long before they start to blame the sick and less well off for them awarding their mates billions in tax payers money?
Aren't they doing that with the reform of benefits?
@@paultrickett7717 yes They want some of me, actually its mental torture
Our useless government...
For 'useless', read 'corrupt'.
Blatant theft of the public purse plus sanctioned manslaughter, while the corrupt suites partied and bought yachts celebrating their corruption. Power to the People!
Scum🤬🤬
Has the baroness been arrested then?? Have the Gov even got the money back from her?
So he asks Jeremy Cu...Hunt why the Tories are only taking legal action against PPE Med Pro and no other companies, and the response he gets is "Let me be clear there is no hiding place for anyone. We will go after them". WTF?! He gets asked why he isn't going after everyone that committed fraud, and he responds by saying that he is going after everyone? It's just absolute gibberish!
Making one high profile scapegoat and hoping it gets forgot about
Love Darren Jones he was great on the Select Committee's! Would love for him to be PM
what it showed was profiteering by the tories
The tories are petrified of Darren Jones
Criminals
Don’t you just hate a corrupt Tory 🤬
the fact that the government doesn't want to put out those names on publicly funded money is an absolute outrage!
what a joke! how is it possible that everything else needs to be accounted for but the public money spent on dodgy contracts cannot be named? absolute disgrace and they all should be ousted immediately! imagine this happening with any other government....we wouldn't hear the end of it on how dodgy everyone would be!
Darren Jones is excellent.
If they won't reveal the names then the MP themselves should be in prison.
Well done Darren.
It will be held off until a inquiry ( whitewashing ) and the media can help it fade away,
THIS IS ACCOUNTABILITY AT THE TOP IN TODAYS TORY BRITAIN 🇬🇧
They blew £8bn, pocketing some of it along the way, then shift the blame by further intimidating and persecuting the poorest and most vulnerable Brits who claim benefits.
Jeremy Hunt should be brought to book about this? Baroness Mone should be questioned about the amount of profit her husband’s company made. Who the hell believes anything that Hunt says?
Crooked Tories
It's not against the law to name the accused in a legal case, and even if it were, Grayling has parliamentary privilege.
Darren Jones is the only MP in that shit ole I admire
They won't name them as folk would see which of the Tories are linked to them. Allegedly.
Defective PPE is just as dangerous as no PPE, giving NHS a false sense of security whilst not being protected at all.
Name and shame.
Should have their mugshots plastered across every billboard and newspaper in the country.
100 arrests ????? I don't believe him
I thought you released the names being investigated in case the police need witnesses.
Because they connected to the Tories?!..
Lining their own pockets
I just see Hunt looking after his crony friends. I doubt many of them will see a court room. And we can assume that the money will be safe in the Cayman Islands.
Greedy thieves.
Darren Jones is the future for sure, he is simply brilliant x
"We we made difficult decisions... "
And threw money at our local pub landlord!
Remember folks who signed those cheques off...
This is about the PPE I had to wear in the crisis which was rubbish but how about all of the money given to Dido Harding for the equally useless track and trace. Only less than half of the money given was spent so where has the rest gone?
Follow the money....
Jeremy Hunt’s smirk has disappeared!
Is Mone still swanning around on her gin palace boat?
the corrupt tories
Get the lying Hunt out
Bent ,why didn't the government go directly to companies who made ppe, simples and save money instead of splashing money around friends to buy lavish cars and big cigars and yachts
Not to mention where the £37 billion on track and trace went ..
No hiding place except for in the House of Lords!
we need a gofund me t take gov t court t get the names n prosecute
There's no hiding place, if we have defrauded the public then we will go after ourselves. 😂
How long do they need to chase after the money that friends, family and donors received in the VIP lane for unusable PPE.
NHS Scotland managed without a VIP Fast Lane.
I would like to see Darren as PM.
Anybody but Starmer.
The NHS has professional procurement teams that knew what was required and had all the contacts required with established PPE firms all they needed was a budget to work to.. as it was the Cabinet office was given an impossible task whilst being pushed by MPs to accept bids from their mates with shell companies established overnight to launder the cash… and provide overpriced and often defective or inappropriate PPE or nothing at all. As with every other enquiry any investigation will run on for ever until the evidence is lost just like with Saville … and then ‘lessons will be learned’ or not.. would it not be wonderful if one day the guilty were held to account…
It was always about filling their bank accounts they care nothing of the public.
One of the biggest scandals in my lifetime of paying tax…..those who abused should be held accountable & us honest payers…..paid back…..out of their personal accounts
‘Let me be clear’. Remember that they chose to pay these crony contracts when UK PPE companies were trying to get hold of the government to offer PPE at cost price. These are the ‘difficult decisions’ that Hunt is talking about.
Any other country people would be on the streets demanding an election, not us!!!
The illegal VIP lanes…and why did rishi say that the public isn’t interested in a public enquiry regarding the 8bn PPE….
The damage that these people took part in, the harm that they’ve done, the money that they’ve made, the dishonesty, the lack of conscience, the spite, the treating the public as a joke, the complete indecency of a band of delinquents let free to rule and have fun whilst looking down on the good people of this whole country. No matter how frustrated folk are, best not to vote Tory.
The UK has 0.8% of the world's population. We had the 6th highest fatality rate, per capita, of all countries. That tells us all we need to know about our 'caring' government.
Jezza shitting himself and pretending to be angry lmfao
I watched the select committee interviews. Long-established NHS companies couldn't get sign off on 100000 ppe contracts. Yet a fund manager did. No experience of supplying ppe. Tory party has lost any decency.
We have a RIGHT TO KNOW! Kudos to Darren Jones for asking the right questions.
This is the story of the Tory government, billions given away to Tory supporting right wing individuals and organisations and, billions lost due to mismanagement of the economy.
Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak would soon tell you the names if this was the public
Darren Jones for PM
When covid arrived we the people were fearful for our safety, the people in power or with friends in power rubbed their hands and thought " how much money can we make!
they’re coming for u Gove
Hunt is a compulsive lair
Darren Jones is the best man in parliament
Shysters
What it shows is that they took bad decisions - acting like headless chickens would be a kind description, profiteering where possible would be more accurate…
But it was Jeremy Hunt who, in 2016, was told (Operation Cygnus) of the desperate inadequacy of the national reserves of PPE - and decided to do nothing to rectify the deficiency. And it was that deficiency which left hospital staff working without essential PPE and many of them losing their lives as a direct consequence - of Jeremy Hunt. King
Name them and get the money back!
Absolute corruption, looking after their crony mates
The Tories saw the pandemic as a fantastic smokescreen to plunder the public purse as hard and fast as possible.
Is that the useless ppe that is still all over the country at different storage facilities costing around 700k per week in storage charges .
Wow, he most definitely didn't like that 😂 what's wrong Jeremy, protecting more scum?
He took very difficult daecisions.......Hunt only interested in his bank balance......total creep..
It was a difficult decision to give huge contracts to tory chums.
Most of them were given seats in the lords
They lined their pockets
Ooooh, be scared be very scared, Hunt says there's no hiding place !😮
How about protecting the people of this country we’ve been in dire straights for the last decade plus, we’ve had enough of this Government time for a change !
There will be no hiding place in a few months.
If there have been 100 arrests NAME THEM
Won't be long before Labour is doing the same. You can bet their expense packets on it. Streeting will see to that!
and HMRC are trying to claw back £600 that I as a small self employed person received as a grant during lockdown !
