This is the judgment on the PPE/Medpro claim.
A cracking £122m win for the Government Legal Service
And is wonderful to see the government bringing a claim in contract against a shoddy supplier.
This does not happen often, and it should happen far more.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Today in 1805: Napoleon's greatest triumph. He humbled two emperors, Hapsburg and Romanov, at Austerlitz. He then wrote what was his greatest letter to his wife Josephine:
"I have beaten the Russian and Austrian army commanded by two emperors. I am a little tired."

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

Actually reminds me of the broader paranoia about "inheritance tax" which has been promoted by the likes of Mail and DT.
Loads of totally unaffected people have been conned into believing they'll pay when they die.
