Today in Tory corruption news, the Government awarded a PPE contract worth £252 million to Ayanda Capital in a secret procurement process. This firm is a ‘family office’ owned through a tax haven in Mauritius, a newly-created company with no experience in selling medical equipment set up by Andrew Mills, a banker and an advisor to Liz Truss, the Secretary of State for Trade. Mills has made approximately £30m profit on 50 million face masks that are substandard and cannot be used by the NHS.

you mean to tell me that this entire time, all I’ve needed in order to pay off my loans was a lot more money?
damn, do other people know about this???

Elon Musk’s only real act of genius was casting himself into a fictional archetype (the Tom Swift / John Galt / Tony Stark-style billionaire inventor) that so many people want to believe in so badly that they will overlook the mounting evidence that he’s actually just an unstable idiot with enough money to hire better engineers than himself.
