Who owned the site before?

justblair.bsky.social•101 days ago

Any idea who owns the company that profited from the deal. Bound to be friends or donors of "Honest Bob" surely?

mat70x.bsky.social•101 days ago

Robert Jenrick is a wrong un....... and there's half a chance someone will have got a bung out of this....... probably Jenrick! 🙄

maverickpeter.bsky.social•101 days ago

send him the Bill!

chappersbrum.bsky.social•101 days ago

The Bill. And The Bill!!!!

lioncub19.bsky.social•101 days ago

Perhaps he should personally pay that back?

And what will be done? A big fat nothing. Brushed under that great big carpet.

torytears.bsky.social•101 days ago

The question really is, how much did honest Bob make out of the deal.

bjbrightwell.bsky.social•101 days ago

Was one of his mates selling it?

suziey33.bsky.social•101 days ago

Do you think they did this out of spite, corruption or incompetence?

pmarsha11.bsky.social•101 days ago

What’s the likelihood that he financially benefitted from the deal? He’s an evil shark.

raw---1.bsky.social•94 days ago

Got to wonder how sweet is the pot considering this is not his first property scandal

spanglish51.bsky.social•101 days ago

He have elevated ‘thick’ to an art form .

janeandindie.bsky.social•100 days ago

They’d take more care if if was their own money they were spending!!!

paulriver.bsky.social•101 days ago

Did he buy it from a mate for a hugely inflated price? How much did he receive as a kickback?

chappersbrum.bsky.social•101 days ago

If he was a councillor authorising this he'd be surcharged.

stephenk900.bsky.social•101 days ago

Make Jenrick pay! I'm getting very sick of Jenrick and the Tories wasting money. Until they're punished, they or, others will repeat this.

choccycake.bsky.social•101 days ago

Never heard of a building surveyor what a waste of our money

mandyh59.bsky.social•101 days ago

Never heard of doing things by the rules

fundilymundily.bsky.social•101 days ago

Put that corrupt fucker in jail. And go after the people who sold it as well.

dcash.bsky.social•101 days ago

I suspect the money wasn't wasted. It most likely ended up in the pockets of Tory donors.

phelecpaul.bsky.social•100 days ago

£6.3m paid for the site by a private company in Aug 2022, then in Nov 2022 Jenrick begins negotiating to buy the ex-MOD site for £15.4m

... and this doesn't look fishy?

Who exactly are Brockwell Group Bexhill LLP?

robespierre1794.bsky.social•101 days ago

Imagine if political parties could be sued over things like this.

leegreenaway.bsky.social•101 days ago

I'm going to take a wild punt here, that the land owner wasn't a Labour party donor.

redevilrach.bsky.social•101 days ago

@goodlawproject.bsky.social this is a shocker

vespalien.bsky.social•101 days ago

So basically he gave 15m of our taxes to a "mate". How much did that mate donate as a thank you?

It's corruption, isn't it?

spookella.bsky.social•101 days ago

Jenrick needs a long stretch in jail to mull over his unwise choices.

ryancrashburn.bsky.social•101 days ago

honest Bob strikes again!

shirleymac.bsky.social•101 days ago

I should be shocked. Testing shock-o-meter……. Nah. Nothing.

humanity101.bsky.social•101 days ago

💯👆

lesleyak.bsky.social•101 days ago

The Tory Government wasted/lost/stole billions!!

rational-moi.bsky.social•101 days ago

Am I the only person thinking that this could well be an add on case for the corruption Tsar?………

bravehoundgabby.bsky.social•101 days ago

Follow the money. Who did they buy it from?

lancemassey.bsky.social•101 days ago

I suppose the question to be asked is who actually got the money?

anngraham.bsky.social•101 days ago

My first thought too 🙄

vox-casei.bsky.social•101 days ago

My first thought was pretty much that... "Which one of his mates got the cash then?"

lancemassey.bsky.social•101 days ago

My second thought was how much did he get on the qt

carolcooney7.bsky.social•101 days ago

The people who sold it bought it for less than £10m a year earlier, so nice profits for someone.

lancemassey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes. I was wondering why any new company would buy asbestos contaminated unusable buildings on seriously contaminated ground. But of course someone had told them he could use tory govt money to buy the place. Why no survey?
How did the tories avoid prosecution for fraud?
Casual, arrogant corruption

carolcooney7.bsky.social•101 days ago

Jenrick didn't care about the contamination or the asbestos, it was for migrants after all.

bagpuss.bsky.social•101 days ago

Why is this arsehole not in prison along with the rest of the money wasting tories??

greywarcanoe.bsky.social•101 days ago

With all due respect the money was not wasted, somebody enjoyed it very much

clonea.bsky.social•101 days ago

Honest Bob

richiedude.bsky.social•101 days ago

Really does make you wonder, is Robert Jenrick just completely incompetent or is he corrupt?

I suspect a little sprinkle of both.
