Corruption doesn’t stop with Paterson
Has Tory corruption influenced British public health policy and what is the extent of Covid cronyism, asks BECK ROBERTSON

CASH-for-access North Shropshire MP Owen Paterson has been forced to step down from his constituency role, after Boris Johnson backpedalled on his decision to undermine existing anti-sleaze regulations.
Multiple MPs and the public are now demanding answers after it was discovered £480 million worth of unadvertised Covid testing contracts had been awarded to Randox Laboratories, a firm Paterson worked for as a paid, part-time consultant.
The Tories’ decision to award the contract was made despite Randox’s prior mismanagement of a £347m arrangement for Covid testing, which left care homes with zero capacity to test, due to the recall of 750,000 defective kits.
