I agree we need to pay for stuff. But the rumoured proposals were so shit. No tax reform, nothing to reduce the inequality between wealth and income.

The cavalier Tory approach during the pandemic is unforgivable. While my constituents in Bolton West struggled through lockdowns, £122m was wasted on unusable PPE Medpro gowns. That’s money that should have gone to NHS staff, local hospitals & vital services. It’s only the tip of the iceberg.

FACT: This isn’t about them. It’s about £122m of public money, failed PPE, and hidden profits during a national crisis.

FACT: On the very day PPE Medpro was incorporated, she referred it into the government’s VIP fast lane – a scheme used by Tory politicians for firms with political connections. Such firms were 10 times more likely to get contracts than others.
