This is one I am keen to see come to fruition. These thieving scumbags need brought to justice. I love the angle of looking into the way the funds of the HS2 are being dispensed since its shutdown announcement.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A recent report by Transparency International UK says that a fifth of the Covid contracts awarded by the government contained red flags indicating possible corruption.
It is also well known that close contacts of Tory politicians made immense profits through this crisis, while the rest of the country suffered sickness, deaths and economic pain.
The New York Times analysed 1,200 contracts worth nearly $22bn and found that roughly half went to companies run by friends and associates of Conservative party politicians, or with no experience in that area.
Conservative peer Theodore Agnew, former minister of state at the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury, quit in January 2022 in protest at Sunak’s failure to tackle massive fraud during the Covid pandemic.
Its annual report points to the British Virgin Islands as the overseas territory of choice for those setting up companies to hide the proceeds of corruption.
Digging deeper into the process of fraud will help us reform the system and clean up public life and contract procurement – an area where corruption surely exists beyond just Covid issues.
