So excessive profits by two businessowners, poor contract management, along with bad custody of taxpayers' interests . Yet the government gives 6 months to Tees Valley Mayor to sort out this mess he's created! It's quite unbelievable and totally unacceptable.

Just when you thought the stink couldn't get any stronger! This looks more and more like a treadmill to millions for Tories who had contacts . Don't tell me this was to help the national efforts. You don't make millions in personal profit if your motive is to help the nation.

The reason we now have the Delta variant ripping though is because the PM was following a date, to go on his trade trip to India, and NOT the data. If we had acted faster then we would have had better 4 and 7 weeks to get more people vaccinated

Yep! I used that very paper. 96% of Delta seeding events occurred after Pak/B'desh red listed April 9th. We'd have cut 505 events to <40 total (mostly pre April 9). Delayed current wave 4-7 weeks more than current opening delay plans. (stochasticisty w/ exp growth from small no).
