£10 BILLION WASTED ON PPE AND NOBODY IS TO BLAME UK government just got the results of its Covid inquiry. The number is huge. Out of £14.9 billion spent on protective gear like masks and gowns, almost £10 billion of it was wasted. That means for every £3 spent, £2 went down the drain. The inquiry boss, Baroness Heather Hallett, looked into something called the VIP lane. This was a fast track system. If your company had a friend in government, you got pushed to the front of the line for contracts. Everyone else had to wait like normal. £4.2 billion of public money went through this fast track. The biggest name in this story is PPE Medpro. That company is linked to former Conservative peer Michelle Mone Lady Michelle Mone. She messaged government minister Michael Gove Michael Gove back in May 2020. Her company then got £203 million in contracts. Police are still investigating this deal, so some details are being kept back until that investigation finishes. Here is the strange part. Hallett said she found no proof of corruption in the final decisions ministers made. She just found a system that happened to favor people who knew the right person. You can decide for yourself what that means. Boris Johnson Boris Johnson responded by saying he had not even read the report. Then he said the government's Covid response was outstanding anyway. Matt Hancock Matt Hancock and other former ministers still defend the VIP lane. They say it helped them find good suppliers fast. Lord Theodore Agnew, who was a minister at the time, told the inquiry it was nonsense to say the lane was designed to make rich people richer. While all this was happening, doctors and nurses did not have enough proper protection. A group called Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK speaks for about 7000 people who lost family members. They believe their loved ones died partly because staff did not have the equipment to keep everyone safe. Hallett gave the government 11 ideas to fix this for next time. Better planning. Better stockpiles. Better rules for buying supplies in an emergency. All good ideas. All things that should have been obvious from the start. £10 billion gone. No one blamed. Just a system that happened to help people with the right contacts. Same old story. Sources The Guardian BBC News (UK) Sky News others

BREAKING: Teaching Council Inquiry against Enoch Burke deferred after legal challenge A Teaching Council "fitness to teach" Inquiry against Enoch Burke will not proceed as planned tomorrow. The Inquiry was in relation to a complaint made against Enoch Burke regarding his presence at Wilson's Hospital School. Yesterday, Enoch Burke was forced to initiate High Court proceedings against the members of the Panel appointed to hear the Inquiry. These are Andy Pike (Chairperson), Adrian Guinan and Clodagh O'Hara. Andy Pike has promoted on his social media a St Patrick’s Day parade float which mocked and parodied Enoch Burke and the controversy around his suspension from Wilson’s Hospital School. Andy Pike has also promoted posts advocating to "make the world a little less binary" and criticising those who refuse to use the "they" pronoun. Enoch Burke raised other serious issues including the recent scandal around the nomination of Claire Callanan as Chairperson of his DAP dismissal appeal hearing. Claire Callanan did not disclose that she holds a senior position in the Church of Ireland or that her husband, Senior Counsel Lyndon MacCann, is one of the most powerful men in that organisation. Wilson's Hospital School is a Church of Ireland school. Enoch Burke submitted that this scandal must be resolved before any Teaching Council Inquiry takes place. Today's hearing was marked by a controversy around the refusal of High Court Judge Micheal O'Connell to ask a simple question. Under official rules, the members of the Inquiry Panel are required to "operate independently" of the Director of the Teaching Council. This is because the Director is the one who prosecutes the complaint against the teacher. The Panel is required to remain impartial between the Director and the teacher. Surprisingly, there was no appearance in court today by the members of the Panel or anyone representing them. Instead, there was a team of Barristers and Solicitors, led by Barrister Eoghan O'Sullivan BL, acting for the Director. Enoch Burke submitted to Judge Micheal O'Connell that there was a serious issue as to how the Director of the Teaching Council came to be in possession of his High Court injunction papers when these had been served (by order of the High Court) yesterday on the Panel members. He requested Judge Micheal O'Connell to ask the Barrister for the Director to explain how he came to be in possession of the papers. Judge Micheal O'Connell repeatedly refused to ask this question. Martina Burke and Ammi Burke were asked to leave the courtroom after asking pertinent questions as to why the presence of Barristers and Solicitors for the Director was not queried by Judge Micheal O'Connell. The Barrister for the Director eventually informed the Court that tomorrow's Inquiry will not proceed as scheduled. Instead, a preliminary hearing will take place tomorrow in which Enoch Burke will make a recusal application to the Panel members and an application that the Inquiry not take place until the scandal regarding Claire Callanan and his DAP dismissal appeal hearing is resolved.
