Angela Rayner – 2022 Comments on Unlawful VIP Contracts

The comments made by Angela Rayner, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, on 12 January 2022.

While our hardworking NHS staff were going without PPE, Tory politicians saw an opportunity to line their cronies’ pockets.

A judge has now ruled the ‘VIP lane’ unlawful but that may be just the tip of the iceberg. Even now Ministers are covering up key documents while critical messages and minutes have gone missing.

Only a fully independent investigation will get to the bottom of how £3.5bn of taxpayers’ cash were handed out in crony contracts and ensure it can never happen again.
