mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Another shame for a Labour Gov't. Never mind what they say, see what they do...still rewarding these law-breaking bastards with new contracts. Shouldn't breaking the law be a fundamental breach of contract? And fucking Serco again!!! 030
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 14/09/2026@chrisbjohns.bsky.social Chris. I was telling you how the big supermarkets can quote low margins by inflating costs. This from @privateeyenews.bsky.social . 11.5% on an associated party loan. Taking the piss big style! 000
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 04/09/2026@jimpowerecon1962.bsky.social If you want to follow up on your Polish pal's comment about WW2 starting on 1st September, this is brilliant. 110
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 04/09/2026But they got away with it because they said openly the Electoral Commission is useless, which is not news! 021

mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 04/09/2026@publicsectorlawyer.bsky.social From 18 months ago! Is there any wonder Reform take the piss? They must have read my post. 000
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Bob Dylan, Albert Hall, 1966. 'Judas' tour. Had a front row ticket, but swapped it with a pal for this. No regrets. 040
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I see from your bio that you live near beautiful Drumcliffe. This is my neck of the woods, and of course we have Coole Park the other side of town. 110
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 27/08/2026That would be the Lord Browne, formerly CEO of BP, and this Lord Browne. 000
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 06/08/2026As with Baroness Hallett in her Covid Report on procurement, Dr Phil Hammond gets it. Financial transparency in public procurement should be the norm, not the exception. It's our fucking money! 010

mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Another extract. Should commercial confidentiality apply to public contracts? Has Limited Liability had its day? Not much on telly tonight. 😨 100
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 01/08/2026@chrisbjohns.bsky.social Have you read the comment on the Covid Report in the current Private Eye? I saw the extract below and it floored me. Procurement officials spending billions need training to negotiate contract terms?? FFS, this is exactly what I was doing at NCB 40 years ago! Unbelievable! 100
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Just read this in the Eye. WTF is going on? 'Training procurement officials to negotiate contract terms...' FFS! THAT IS THE ACTUAL JOB (that I was doing in the NCB 45 years ago)! Who are the officials? Cleaners? Electricians? Chefs? It's the basic requirement of the fucking job!!! 000
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Have you heard of HS3? Heathrow Shambles on Runway 3. Private Eye finds the curse of the consultants strikes again: 'Tell us what result you want and we'll justify it for you.' Another white elephant in the room! 000
mickrab.bsky.social @mickrab.bsky.social · 29/07/2026And this before. Note support band half way down. 110
