The Good Law Project are really going to town on dodgy-looking Government PPE contracts. This is the third judicial review they've got on the go:
The Government awarded a PPE contract worth £252 million to Ayanda Capital Limited, a ‘family office’ owned through a tax haven in Mauritius, with connections to Liz Truss. It is the largest PPE contract we have seen to date.

In response to judicial review proceedings issued by Good Law Project, the Government has admitted that the 50 million FFP2 masks they purchased from Ayanda Capital – for a price that we calculate to be between £156m and £177m – “will not be used in the NHS” because “there was concern as to whether the[y]… provided an adequate fixing.”

The despicable tw.t who did this.
The CPS has reviewed the case and decided there was insufficient evidence to charge: https://www.cps.gov.uk/west-midlands/ne ... -statement

Re the testing, it was 4 days after the incident, seemed to be just a test for Covid and not antibodies too, is this sufficient for this kind of thing? Timing of testing seems to be important especially where someone may not be entirely compliant with info about e.g. when they first experienced symptoms, for whatever reason?

Aside from the prosecution, I'm not sure if there has been a full explanation about the allegations that she had asked to work in a non public facing role, she and other workers weren't given proper PPE despite requesting it etc?
To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave.
