THE TORIES have handed billions to dodgy recipients in the name of beating coronavirus, Labour will claim on Monday as it sets out its plan to help Britain recover from the economic fall-out of the pandemic.

Shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds will publish a “file of failure” detailing about £3.9 billion that Labour said the government has mismanaged and spent on ineffective schemes and equipment.

It will be published ahead of her keynote speech at the party’s online conference Labour Connected.
