Four Weddings and a Funeral star has condemned the hapless UK government for its handling of the coronavirus crisis on numerous occasions.

Hugh Grant has added his name to many others by accusing the government of using the Covid-19 pandemic as an opportunity to enrich its friends and donors.

The actor, who frequently uses Twitter to air his criticisms of Boris Johnson’s government, shared a report about an IT company that was allegedly paid millions across multiple coronavirus contracts and has ‘extensive links to the Conservatives’.

A tweet in the thread explains: ‘Softcat Plc is an IT Infrastructure / Services Company awarded £16.2m since Feb 2020 over 11 different Covid-related agreements. These range from work in the health service to supporting the Student Loans Company & DWP.’

Grant re-tweeted the thread, commenting: ‘Always heart-warming to watch this government exploit a pandemic to enrich their friends and donors.’ Source
