Yeah, the point is that BAE is not anyone’s mate. Everyone hates the big four, the reasons to award them work rather than to politically attractive SMEs are structural, complex and tricky to overcome.

The die has been set unfortunately with the cronyism allegations. It will further diminish the reputation of public sector procurement.

Yeah true, but why didn't the interviewer correct him for the sake of the viewers at least?

Well it could be
(a) he is a bad interviewer
(b) he is scared of criticising the overlords for fear of retribution
(c) he was struck dumb at the shock of what he heard
(d) it was his dad

This is not a "pop" at a political opponent and anyone aligned to him. It is about equity, fairness and access to the ear of the most powerful person in the land. If Dyson is speaking honestly then I take back what I said about him.

But please understand the frustration when many others were working unpaid hours, putting themselves at personal risk, around the clock to make sure people received treatment or others were safe to see companies with direct access to the PM to fix their tax issues. In amongst other examples of giving contracts to who the cabinet knew without proper scrutiny. That is not a good look whatever you think.

But he only had the ear of them because they approached him to make a ventilator at a time of crisis, he's said himself it cost them £20m which yes for them isn't a lot but they didn't try and reclaim it back. It did seem tax was high on their minds at a time of crisis but how are we to know their legal team didn't tell them to raise it?

The crony contracts needs to be acted on but I don't think we can moan about Dyson.
 
Is there a more annoying character in British Politics than Diane Abbott? When will she realise that without being elected to govern, the Labour movement is powerless.

Hope Keir Starmer and the Labour party can stop fighting amongst themselves, get their act together and act decisively to keep the Union together. They are going to be important seeing as Boris is the SNPs biggest weapon.

All opposition is largely a waste of time due to vaccine success. UK voters are not known for their intellect.

And no one in the Western politics will bat an eyelid over this aside from the throwaway comments of "Oh it must stop, everyone needs to stop" - Erm whose land is it originally?? twunts..
Israel has always been free to do whatever the hell they like with little to no repercussions, it really is quite sickening.

A disgrace, a lot of the behaviour of Israel is absolutely awful.

It is quite interesting that a government can fcuk up so much but get one thing right before an election and get away with it.

The cynic in me thinks governments might try in future to do all the bad things in the start of their term and something popular at the end just before an election. It could herald the start of a new form of politics.
