1. Nice to see it acknowledged at least. I won’t hold my breath it ever recovers anything though.

2. We just don’t need money recovered. We need these parasites and their accomplices jailed for long terms.

3. We need to have the balls to claim billions back from China for covering up the outbreak until it was already global.

4. Prepare for a few tories to go down then… I hope!

5. How would I go about getting a job as the governments official corruption commissioner. It sounds very lucrative. Who would I have to bribe?

6. This is exactly the sort of thing the current government should have done.

   Great positive step from Labour.

   More of this sort of thing please!

7. I’d vote for them just to do that. If they could promise pics of the faces of those who stole it on the day it was recouped, all the better.

8. Depends on who they go after. If they target everyday people (which, sadly, may be the case because Labour councils can be a bit like this) then they can fuck right off.

   Not because I support fraud etc, fuck people who do that, but purely because the government paid put extremely quickly and without checks to help people survive and as a consequence they accepted that some degree of fraud would happen.

   Labour can absolutely go after rich cunts and large businesses of they like. But I just feel like they’d go for easy targets.

9. Dido Harding, Michelle Mone, Michelle Donelan and others, form an orderly queue for the PPE Fraud.

   Akshata Murthy, step into the line for Furlough Fraud.
