Son of Tory donor who hosted Boris Johnson's wedding party given £11.2m Government cash

The son of a Tory donor who hosted Boris Johnson’s wedding party was handed an £11.2million UK Government grant to build hydrogen buses. Jo Bamford’s Wrightbus was given the cash to pioneer the “green” fuel cell vehicles in March 2021.
He is the son of JCB founder Lord Bamford, who hosted Johnson’s lavish wedding party on his grand Cotswolds estate last week. The outgoing Prime Minister and his wife Carrie partied with family and friends at 18th-century Daylesford House after officially tying the knot last year during the coronavirus pandemic.
A cringeworthy video has emerged of the couple dancing to Sweet Caroline in a luxury marquee tent. Billionaire Bamford has donated millions to the Conservatives and is understood to have met at least some of the costs of the party.
SNP Cabinet Office spokesman Brendan O’Hara MP said: “Tory cronyism in this Parliament has been endemic under Boris Johnson’s leadership The public will rightly want transparency over why the UK government handed over £11.2 million to Jo Bamford’s company. He may be going, but the legacy that will follow Boris Johnson is one of Tory sleaze.
"His premiership made it crystal clear that the Westminster system is broken and no changing of the guard or tinkering around the edges will fix it. It’s time for Scots to free themselves from this sinking ship.” Lib Dem economy spokesman Willie Rennie added: “There appears to be an unhealthy relationship between Conservative donors and Conservative Ministers responsible for awarding multi-million-pound contracts. There must be transparency about how these contracts were dished out.”
Jo Bamford is behind the world’s first double-decker powered by the gas, and Wrightbus has won multi-million pound publicly funded

Although British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation in July and will remain in power until his party chooses a leader, his legacy of incompetence will stick with him for years, if not the rest of his political career. But like Trump, who has received many kinds of satirical treatments— several actors parodying his oafishness on “Saturday Night Live”— and a kind of biopic treatment—Brendon Gleeson portraying the former last guy on “The Comey Rule”— Boris Johnson is getting a kind of biopic treatment in “This England,” starring BAFTA and Academy Award-winning actor/director Kenneth Branagh in the lead role.
