It feels a bit disproportionate to have such a media frenzy over £600k compared to the £200 million PPE scandal - definitely someone has their thumb on the scales there.
I’d disagree, she’s was arrested. Any former leader being arrested is going to be big news especially for something so serious. As for the amount, that shouldn’t matter, if she’s involved she should face the consequences.
The PPE scandal is completely separate. So far, Michelle Mone is being investigated and that was big news. Would be nice if more people were investigated but I suspect separating the fraud from incompetence and the dodgy contracts from the badly decided ones will be difficult.
There’s plenty of Boris supporters that complain how much media attention and fuss was made over a few parties which is nothing in the grand scheme of things but he broke the rules he was setting and should be held accountable.
I had the same issue with !linux@lemmy.ml. It’s updated now but when I try to leave a comment the loading spinner just spins forever and it never posts. Definitely seems like somethings up.
