Truth is the Tories are loathe to impose windfall taxes on those who are essentially their party donors.

This government is the least tory government I have seen in my lifetime. The amounts they have wasted (£28bn) on a app and PPE contracts to their mates are shocking, their was an article in private eye or thee spectator recently about local company who got one these contracts awarding themselves £20m or so in dividends.

And don't believe the levelling up b ollox either. London gets the Elizabeth line at a cost of about £30bn and we get a tram extension from Wednesbury to Dudley.
The wasted spend on PPE is absolutely disgraceful.
I know everybody was scrambling to get PPE on the international market and all competing against each other.
But shocking that nobody was responsible for this mass mis-spend....
