@CatHobbs @We_OwnIt @MattHancock Hi Cat, Do we know how many and which members of the govt and their families benefit from these contact awards ? Non exec Consultants Shareholders ???

@peterharris567 @We_OwnIt @MattHancock Lots of revolving door connections I think

@CatHobbs @omamoll @MattHancock Can you provide links to evidence for all this? We are doing some work on the organisation of Testing. Thanks.

@colinrtalbot @omamoll @MattHancock Hi Colin, various scandals listed on this page The breast cancer hotline story seems particularly relevant Let me know if we can help further, would be great to hear more about your work on this

@CatHobbs @w_nicht @MattHancock The company Serco was fined for fraud: What on earth is the Government doing in giving a fraudster more business?!

@CatHobbs @MattHancock I totally agree with you Serco should be made to close down how any council would give them a contract is beyond me

@CatHobbs @MattHancock Local council workers who know the area the person has been

@CatHobbs @We_OwnIt @MattHancock Jobs for their mates. That is what the Tories do with our money. I wouldn't give that lying cheating organisation a penny.

@CatHobbs @MattHancock You cannot be serious! This outfit can barely run a waste collection service. Public service outsourcing is so old hat, John Major, New Labour. Every time a major scandal emerges I hope governments will finally see sense and bring contracts in house. But they never ever do...

@CatHobbs @The_SteadyEddie @MattHancock The same Serco who's CEO is a member of the Soames family? Surely not.

@CatHobbs @MattHancock Carry on Covid. Another UK blockbuster. Mistakes, stupidity and structural failures - they have undermined state capacity and public health. At least the films were funny (well occasionally!)

@CatHobbs @MattHancock Being liars, cheats and frauds is exactly what the government wants,honesty no chance.

@CatHobbs @AnnPettifor @MattHancock These outsourcing companies aren't fit for purpose AND the contract details aren't tight enough. Probably the money put in isn't enough either to deliver a FULL functioning delivery of the contract as is specified. It's a total mess & the Governments keep making the same mistakes

@CatHobbs @AlastairMcInty2 @MattHancock Serious question: Is Scotland included in the Serco contract for contact tracing? Has @NicolaSturgeon been smart enough to avoid this? I heard that @scotgov has been training NHS Scotland staff. So will we escape Serco in Scotland? Does anyone know the answers here?

@CatHobbs @MuttleySwan @MattHancock Just how much will Serco bounce back into Tory funds?

@CatHobbs @mconway70 @MattHancock Serco should have been barred from tendering A LONG time ago.

@CatHobbs @MattHancock UK GOV: so tell me about your skills and experience. SERCO: well, we lie a lot. UK GOV: YOU'RE HIRED.

@CatHobbs @MattHancock Perhaps the @Conservatives liars want a company they can guarantee will provide the numbers they want no matter what the reality.

@CatHobbs @MattHancock Why do we have to give every government task to the private sector?

@CatHobbs @MattHancock Corruption? Incompetence? or just how everyday business is done in Tory Britain? All three?
