If you don't follow @GoodLawProject it's worth taking a look at its tweets over the rest of the morning: there are some pretty explosive revelations about the VIP lane coming.

Here's a little sample of what the Court is being shown. Civil servants complaining that they are "drowning in VIP requests" and that they don't hold the correct certification or pass due diligence.

(Government has been pretending - and very unfortunately much of the media and NAO has been playing along - that there was no such thing as a "VIP" lane. There was.)

Civil servants were complaining that the VIPs were inhibiting the efficient buying of PPE.

See email below: when VIPs (without "the correct certification") "jump to the front of the queue it then has a knock on effect to the remaining offers of help."
