I thought I would give you a quick case study as to how GLP/Maugham works -
Step 1 - Play to your audience and strongly insinuate (more) Tory sleaze
Step 2 - The gormless believe implicitly what he says
Step 3 - Once they are hooked Milk them!!!
Step 4 - Ramp it up - tell them we are probably going to court on this!!!
Step 5 - Even More idiots believe it!!!
Chartered Cities... Wanderlust is this you...?
STEP 6 - Keep milking!!!

Nothing happens, simply because there is nothing in the story other than the deliberate spin Maugham/GLP have put on it to 'grift' from the stupid.
GLP keeps ALL the idiots crowd funding money for a case that never is going to happen.
EPILOUGE - The Real Story!
The government has NOT awarded a £70 billion net zero contract to a small Cornish company
WHAT WAS CLAIMED (By Maugham/GLP)
The government has awarded a £70 billion contract for ‘Everything net zero’ to a company with only two employees in Cornwall.
This is not right. A not-for-profit group of local councils in the East of England has selected a company registered in Cornwall (which said it had an average of two employees in 2019) to run tender competitions for contracts for the public sector bodies like schools and hospitals to achieve their net zero goals. The maximum amount that can be procured through it is £70 billion, but the company has not been given this amount of money from the government.
A post on Facebook claims that the government “has awarded a £70 BILLION contract for ‘Everything net Zero’” to a company with only two employees.
The Facebook post is a screenshot of a since-deleted tweet.
But the claim that a Cornwall-registered company, Place Group Limited, has been awarded a £70 billion contract by the government, is not correct.
As pointed out by Matt Honeycombe-Foster, Politico’s UK policy editor, on Twitter, the reality is “quite boring (but much less viral)”.
Place Group won a contract to run tender competitions on behalf of public-sector bodies which are procuring services to help reach their net zero goals. Place Group says it will “invite leading sustainability organisations to tender for contracts, undertaking cost benchmarking to ensure the public sector gets best value for money”.
Or as Mr Honeycombe-Foster explained: “essentially, the supplier chosen [by E2BN] becomes a middleman, matching up companies who can work on green projects with local councils, schools and hospitals”.
https://fullfact.org/online/70-billion-contract/Or in simple language the company has been simply employed to tender out specialised work.
The company is a specialist in the field with 18 years service.
I don't know what the company tendered to do this work but it will most likely be in the tens of thousands of pounds rather than the 70 billions that Maugham/GLP 'scaremongered' with.
Note Politico’s UK policy editor Tweeted this rebuttal on the 2nd August at 12:57 pm, within hours of Maugham's first tweet - yet he/GLP continued to grift for money days later from the brainless morons who believe everything they are fed by them by tweeting out this story AND linked to their crowd funding page.
They are nothing more than charlatan's after milking their followers dry!!!!
And people like Hip Priest rather believe them than seeking out the truth for himself.
No wonder the world is as it is these days...
