I haven't asked for any details of your personal life just details of the taxpayer funded contracts you claim have saved the taxpayer money and improved the service.

If these contracts relate to public expenditure by a local authority then the approval for such contracts will have been given by elected members and the decisions approving such contracts would be publicly recorded and available for all to read. The government also keeps a publicly available register of all taxpayer funded contracts.

If you can't, or refuse to at least point us in the direction of said decisions and contracts, then we can only presume you're making it up.

So your keen business eye reduced flabbiness and incompetence by cutting wages and introducing zero hour contracts.

They'd be better off popping to Tesco than continuing to employ their incompetent procurement managers.

The NHS certainly has problems but letting you and your Tory mates asset strip it is not the solution.

I am not a member of the Tory party. Do pay attention.

Neither of the above. You really need to be more creative and astute. The only "zero hour contract" I've ever had any contact with were the ones I was employed under in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They've always existed but have just been spun as something new by the chippy leftards.

As I wrote, believe it or don't. You aren't getting particulars of the jobs I held in and for local authorities. Of course there was committee level approval, but committees don't write the proposals or action the changes. They respond to what senior officers or external consultants present.

You talk like a Tory, you vote like a Tory - therefore you are a Tory.

Was this before or after you slew the evil dragon?
