Hi Mr A.
Thanks for that. Its just that I am in the middle of a funeral today with a few very elderly relatives who will take up my time till after Tuesday evening. Thanks

I hope Al Smith is NOT considering letting the Chines anywhere near our Affimers.
I also hope he hasn’t any Chinese spies ……sorry “ research students” on his team.

Doze. I am not suggesting backhanders. But we do know there was a “VIP” route to getting contracts. A who you know etc seemed to have been prevalent as was seen by the existing PPE supplier in Bradford who did not get a look in.
It was a first come first served as far as LFTs were concerned, backed up with the MHRA approving the change of use “at a stretch” and DHSC tendering process of course. …all very professional?
The Chinese business community is very close linked. The rest is conjecture which the GLP may like to pursue.

Hi MrA
Thanks for the correction. I have not passed anything on. Could you do so please?

I am still puzzled as to how Innova managed to develope, get approved and manufacture their tests so quickly.
How did they get hod of the virus samples?
Perhaps Huang kept in close contact with his mates at Wuhan university where he studied???
I wish they could get hold of Bethells and Handonc*cks mobiles.
This is something the GoodLaw Project could be pursuing. Hence my request to pass on the Chinese possible connection info to them.

Whilst the GLP seems to focus on contracts with Abingdon, the Innova link is far more interesting.

They are all there!

The engagement is announced between James, elder son of Lord Bethell, of Brill, Buckinghamshire, and the late Lady Bethell, and Melissa, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs Douglas Wong, of Newport Beach, California.

A spokesman for Yeung, who lives in the wealthy San Gabriel Valley community of Bradbury, said the businessman was not an investor in and had no ties to Innova or Pasaca Capital, though he and Huang remain friendly.

If anyone here is on twitter, could you post my two posts last night on there. The info about Bethells wifes father and the boss of Innova addresses can easily be found online.
Bethells wedding notice, the NYTimes article are good starts.

An Innova subsidiary and Pasaca Capital registered two Gulfstream jets early this year, according to Federal Aviation Administration records. One was a Gulfstream 650, among the top corporate jets on the market. A new Gulfstream 650 costs more than $60 million. Pasaca’s jet was built in 2015.

Innova’s second Gulfstream, registered in February, was an older model that can spaciously seat 20.

In the San Gabriel Valley, three local real estate agents, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to nondisclosure agreements, said executives with the companies have been looking at estates in Pasadena, San Marino and Arcadia listed for anywhere from $3 million to $20 million over the last year.

Such tours aren’t given to just anyone. One agent said several executives, including Huang, flashed an Innova bank statement with a $175-million balance as proof of funds.

Real estate records show at least two properties were purchased by executives tied to Innova in the last year.

In October, Innova President and Chief Executive Daniel Elliott shelled out $4.1 million for an 8,000-square-foot mansion in Arcadia. According to the listing, the two-story showpiece includes six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two kitchens, a sauna, wine cellar, movie theater and elevator.

Then in April, Weining Mao, president of the Charles Huang Foundation, paid $4.198 million for a traditional-style estate near San Marino’s Lacy Park. The 3,700-square-foot home claims nearly half an acre and comes with a swimming pool, spa, multiple entertaining areas and a bocce ball court set among manicured gardens.

In fact they both live in Newport Beach, about a couple of miles from each other. Coincidence?

Travel tests have been condemned as a "rip-off" by MPs as it emerged that holidaymakers are paying the equivalent of £100,000 for each sequenced test.

Of all the 500,000 PCR tests on travellers returning to the UK in the first three weeks of July, only one in 20 were checked for variants through genome sequencing the samples, according to NHS test and trace data. This equates to around £100,000 per sequenced test.

It is despite claims by the Government that the main reason for the PCR tests – which cost British holidaymakers an average of £75 per person even if vaccinated – is to track the potential import of variants from abroad.

The criticism of the cost was heightened by the Government advising that British holidaymakers returning from Spain should use costly PCR tests rather than cheaper lateral flow tests because of concerns over the beta variant.

Huw Merriman, who analysed the dataand is chairman of the transport committee, said that while the travelling public had been forced to fork out £35 million for the 500,000 tests, of the 6,977 positives only 354 – five per cent – were sequenced to check for variants.

"That equates to around £100,000 per sequenced test. I have long suspected that expensive PCR tests for travel are an unnecessary rip-off. Shocking new Test and Trace NHS data backs this up," he said.

At least a dozen Tory MPs including Mr Merriman are now urging ministers to scrap the "costly and burdensome" PCR tests, which are required for all travellers returning from amber and green countries, and replace them with the cheaper lateral flow tests.

Those who test positive would then have more expensive PCR tests and sequencing. Based on these figures, this would be cheaper for passengers and would also lead to more sequencing" said Mr Merriman.

"Passengers are being ripped off with expensive PCR tests. We are told this is justified to sequence for variants, but only five per cent of tests are. This barrier to affordable travel needs to stop now."

The average £75 cost of PCR tests in England and Wales is nearly double that of the cheapest EU countries including France (£42) and Greece (less than £40), where many are subsidised or capped by their respective government. The most expensive in Britain are £270 – nearly seven times the cheapest in the EU.

Henry Smith, Tory chairman of the all-party parliamentary future of aviation group, urged the Government to rethink tests for travel at the next traffic light review in three weeks and replace PCR with lateral flow.

Looks good for the Boohoo guys to have a little ready made PLC for all their LFT sales.
The family there seem to own most of LS…or have options.
Bought some last week. The penny doesn’t seem to have dropped on their BB…despite my hint!
