Potential Covid Contract corruption

An interesting article in the recent Sunday Times from Henry Newman - special advisor to Gove and Johnson.
I quote a part because i can't find it online - April 2020 - Rachel Reeves wrote to Gove imploring the Government to respond faster and leave "no stone unturned" hunting for PPE.
Her missive included companies ready to contribute, including what turned out to be a Football Agent who would supply ventilators and a medieval bodice maker who would make surgical gowns!
Not long after, she complained that the Tories had spent too much - what a surprise!
Was there corruption - possibly; were we overcharged by every supplier wanting to profit from disaster - absolutely.
Can you blame the Tories for just getting hold of what was required - not at all - unless there was pure corruption, in which case hang 'em high!
