UK.gov depts in post-Mad Frankie Maude landgrab over IT spending controls

"Due to missing year-on-year spend figures"

For me, this is proof that the whole canoodle is nothing but a carefully orchestrated smokescreen to enable pork-barrel contracts and personality building.

A government branch simply cannot have "missing" accounting controls. They are ACCOUNTABLE.

The IT spend shambles starts right there. Somebody needs to bring that house back in order, and Brexit is NOT going to help.

"The Department for Work and Pensions alone was given the green light for £200m in IT spending in the last quarter of 2015, twice the amount it was granted in the same period in 2014."

I'm sure they'll manage to spend it. Whether we see anything in return is a different matter.

Enemies within are hiding out everywhere in plain sight feathered nests ‽ .

"Was former Cabinet Office minister Francis 'Mad Frankie' Maude in the pay of a foreign power whilst in office?" ...... seems like an appropriate question for asking.

And who foots his bills and paves his ways nowadays may be truly revealing?

If you aint making things better, you're making things worse, and that is the work of enemies, surely?

And/or fools too, of course.
