The outrage is there, but because of the 24 hour news cycle and the government being unapologetic about it, the outrage disappears until another story comes along, then we get outraged briefly, and so onI read a tweet by Musa Okwonga which I thought summed up the recent dodgy contracts and cronyism perfectly. His premise was that this government was elected to "sort out" Brexit and be tougher on immigration. As long as they get that done, their voters would see the Tories enriching themselves and their mates as an acceptable price to pay.
The more stories that are coming out, and the subsequent lack of any real outrage from the general public, the more I think he's got it spot on. It's depressing how few people seem to care about holding this government to account.
