This is a massive miscalculation on Hesters part too. If he kept his head down and 9 of the 10mil in the bank, then I think it's likely that his contracts would have continued into the Lab gov. Data collection systems on that scale are risky to change and the outcome of issues in a clinical setting can be severe.
He's made himself a target by being a cunt and makeing huge donations to a political party. This risks his cash cow.

You'd hope that there's some sort of mortality / behaviour clause in the contract, that would enable an incoming government to nix the arrangement, and carve the whole lot out without a protracted, expensive and leaky migration.
But there won't be, and 80m insurance records will find themselves wrapped up as a nice gift to a US health insurer.

I think he was looking for a peerage upgrade to his OBE with this £10m . He doesn't need the money of extra Govt contracts but anyone that puts OBE in his twitter handle obviously gets a boner out of badges from the powers that be

Anyone else wondering why firms benefitting from winning any Government contract, central or local, is allowed to make any political donations to political parties or individual politicians, or 'think' tanks?
