Tory Magic Money Tree. PPE worth £1.4bn from single Covid deal destroyed or written off = salaries of 37,000 nurses. In January, govt said that £9.9bn of PPE was written-off. Money hasn't vanished, it ended-up in the pockets on Tory cronies/donors. https://t.co/2SAnPeQLps

Is there a more telling story of 14 years of Tory failure than the Government destroying £1.4bn of PPE- the most wasteful pandemic contract. Abolishing the cruel two-child benefit cap would have cost only £1.3bn and lifted 250,000 children out of poverty. Political choices. https://t.co/BFBzhGjNb0

For years UK Gov have covered up the cost of destroying perfectly good PPE that was ordered, supplied but never used. Today the BBC have put a £1.4 billion on part of this wastage. The Gov will use this figure to claim they’ve increased NHS spending. https://t.co/nvEJgV32OS
