YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

James O'Brien is joined by investigative journalist Russell Scott, author of 'VIP Lane: Cronyism and the Pandemic' to reveal how firms secured vast contracts through Downing Street connections.

It comes as a company linked to peer Baroness Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman has been ordered to pay £122m in damages after a judge ruled it breached a government contract for the supply of personal protective equipment during the pandemic.

The Department of Health and Social Care sued PPE Medpro over claims the medical gowns it supplied did not comply with relevant healthcare standards.
