HUGE: Democracy for Sale have obtained a comprehensive list of the ministers who referred companies to the “VIP lane” after a five-year freedom-of-information tug of war:
democracyforsale.substack.co…
ALT Raab recommended a Cambridgeshire toy maker who had only a single employee at the start of the pandemic. Jenrick, now Reform UK treasury spokesman, is listed as ‘possibly’ referring an export packing firm. Graham Brady, then chair of the 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs, referred an interior design company near his Altrincham and Sale West seat. Brady told Democracy for Sale that he had “no recollection of this but given the location, I assume I was passing on an approach from a constituent. I have no involvement with the company and never have had.” Owen Paterson, who later left parliament after a lobbying scandal, referred a Birmingham biotech firm working on pregnancy complications. None of these firms were given contracts. Then health secretary Matt Hancock is named against 27 companies, three of them marked ‘possible’. Former Conservative party chairman Lord Feldman is recorded against 21 (three ‘possible’) and Cabinet Office minister Lord Agnew against 14 (four ‘possible’).

🚨Senior Tories and Sarah Ferguson named as people who fast-tracked firms into Covid PPE deals
After a five-year legal fight, the government has finally named more than 30 senior Conservatives who referred companies into the Covid PPE VIP lane. Eight of Boris Johnson’s cabinet ministers appear, including Dominic Raab, Robert Buckland, Simon Hart and Robert Jenrick. Matt Hancock is linked to 27 firms, Lord Feldman to 21 and Lord Agnew to 14. Michael Gove, Grant Shapps and Graham Brady are also named. Sarah Ferguson referred a small pharmaceutical company that shut down in 2022. Companies that got this fast-track treatment were ten times more likely to win contracts, yet large amounts of the kit later proved useless. The Covid Inquiry called the system inherently biased.
Why did ministers spend five years fighting to keep the names of those who referred firms into this preferential system hidden from the public?

Andrea Jenkyns deleted this video of her meeting with Paolo Zampolli from Twitter, but she forgot to delete it from her TikTok.
Paolo Zampolli is currently facing sexual assault allegations, including allegations of involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network.
A report released by House Judiciary Democrats described him as an "active participant" in Epstein’s sexual exploitation and trafficking network during the 1990s. It alleged that he used his modelling agency to arrange US visas for young foreign models who were then trafficked to Epstein.
He is also accused of drugging and raping a woman at his Manhattan townhouse in 2023.

Confirmation that the Tories were handing out Covid contracts to their mates. There were a few non Tory MPs who suggested companies but none of them were awarded a contract.

Dan Harrison, Reform UK Leader of Leicestershire council is in serious trouble now.
His group are against him, and has no confidence in him. We understand there will be another vote of no confidence coming. The council are also furious about the recordings that were exposed yesterday regarding the firing of personnel.

Hi @andreajenkyns, why did you delete the video of yourself with Paolo Zampoli talking about how you had just had lunch together?
Is it because you realised the House Judiciary Committee investigation stated he was “an active participant” in Jeffery Epstein's alleged sex trafficking?
Or was it that the FBI said he arranged a model’s visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein’s house, where Epstein allegedly raped her?
Or is it the civil lawsuit he’s facing over the alleged drugging and raping of Victoria Drake?
And you think he’s “amazing”.
That’s a lot of promises you’re making there, Mayor.

EXCLUSIVE: Leicestershire County Council leader tells Reform UK group meeting of plans to make 76 solicitors redundant.
On 27 October, at a Reform UK group meeting, Dan Harrison, leader of Leicestershire County Council, spoke about plans to make 76 solicitors redundant.
When I put this to him, he dismissed it as lies and said he would have the council sue me. He was unaware that I had recordings of the meeting and appeared to believe he could simply lie his way out of it.
Have a listen below.

Newcastle Reform UK councillor David Minto appears to have failed to declare his employment with Homes England on his statutory Register of Interests.
Minto's LinkedIn profile lists him as a senior manager at Homes England, where he has worked since 2018: linkedin.com/in/david-minto-…
Government procurement notices also name him as a contact for Homes England contracts, including a £100,000 intranet contract. Yet his Register of Interests, published on 2 June 2026, states “None” under employment: democracy.newcastle.gov.uk/m…
Councillors are legally required to declare paid employment as a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest. Why has a senior government employee apparently failed to declare who employs him?
@NewcastleCC's Monitoring Officer should investigate.

"They've promised to cut... the welfare bill, but the unfortunate truth is, Reform voters are more likely to be on benefits."
Lara Brown of the Spectator says Robert Jenrick and Reform UK have a "serious problem" with their plan to cut benefits.

Peter Mandelson was correctly removed from the Privy Council for bringing it 'into disrepute'.
The same action must now be taken against Matt Hancock, responsible for the generational slaughter in care homes during the pandemic.

Reform UK Leicestershire Councillor @Joseph_Boam didn't attend his second Conduct Panel hearing today.
Boam been found to have brought the role of councillor in to disrepute. His social media posts went beyond satire or criticism and were reckless with the truth, and amounted to a personal attack.
He did not attend the hearing. The hearing also found a breach because of this.
Sanctions:
- Censured
- He must send a written apology to Councillor O'Shea
- He must read guidance on social media
