Chris Wormald’s failures during the pandemic “obscured reality and the need for more action”, according to the Covid Inquiry. He was rewarded with a peerage Now we learn he received a record £500,000 payout after being sacked. Reward for failure. www.ft.com/content/6913...

£324million lost to fraud, zero prosecutions and 250,000+ deaths. But according to Gove, simply mistakes were made. A mistake is pushing a pull door, or using the wrong homophone, not mismanaging millions, and causing needless deaths.

It is shocking that Chris Wormald has been given a peerage. Wormald was singled out by the Covid Inquiry for having 'obscured reality' during the pandemic. He was at the heart of the failures that cost the lives of our loved ones. Why has he been rewarded for that failure?

My Dad was a London bus driver who contracted Covid and died, because he had no PPE or modifications on his bus. So it breaks my heart to have it confirmed that £10bn was wasted on PPE that was not fit for purpose. How many deaths could have been avoided had the Conservatives used proper channels.
