So we spent:
- £2.2M on LGBT+ inclusion projects in Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal and Zambia
- £4M on making Universal Health Coverage more "inclusive" for transgender people in India, Thailand & Vietnam
But the NHS is cutting 21k jobs over a £1.1bn deficit.
This is beyond parody

That number is quite inflated as it counts inter-departmental transfers, DHSC → NHS England → NHS trusts. Will remove for now.
The spending page shows all invoices over £25K from government departments. Government procurement card transactions (over £500) are available under the GPC tab when you select a department.

@UKGovscan £4,140 billion across 10.6 million payments averages £390k. Are you saying government employees are making payments of that size using cards, or have I misunderstood?
English
We have over 10 million individual payments from 61 government departments and NHS trusts.

Sure, you can argue that education policy is racist - but not in the way she thinks it is:
Albie@albieamankona
Given that every racial group apart from black Caribbean, white British & Traveller outperform white Brits on all educational outcomes, by a large margin, the problem with the education system does not appear to be that it is “too white” or ‘racist’.

Suffolk County Council awarded a contract for 4 seats on a school run to Roman Hill Primary School, Lowestoft. Contract value: £4,389,000
Almost certainly a typo. But it's live on Contracts Finder right now.

West Sussex County Council awarded £108 million to Comensura Limited for temporary agency staff. Four years. £27 million a year.
Nearly 3% of the council's budget goes on temps managed through a broker. Higher hourly rates, no long-term commitment, and a management fee to a middleman on every single placement.
But temps don't count towards headcount targets. And that's the game.
