Steven Parkin, pictured in 2007, made several donations to the Conservatives in the three years prior to the Covid-19 pandemicA Labour MP has said the Covid inquiry "absolutely must" examine the decision to award a £130m PPE transportation deal to Tory party donor Steven Parkin.
Public records show that from March 2020 the West Yorkshire firm entered into an 18-month sub-contract with the government valued at at least £130m. Electoral Commission records show Mr Parkin, the executive chairman of Clipper Logistics, made donations of between £25,000-£250,000 to the political party in the three years prior to the pandemic.The UK-wide Covid-19 inquiry will predominantly look at the UK government's approach to the pandemic

Understanding mental health trends during COVID-19 pandemic in the United States using network analysisThe emergence of COVID-19 in the United States resulted in a series of federal and state-level lock-downs and COVID-19 related health mandates to manage the spread of the virus. These policies may negatively impact the mental health state of the population. This study focused on the trends in mental health indicators following the COVID-19 pandemic amongst four United States geographical regions, and political party preferences. Indicators of interest included feeling anxious, feeling depressed, and worried about finances. Survey data from the Delphi Group at Carnegie Mellon University were analyzed using clustering algorithms and dynamic connectome obtained from sliding window analysis. Connectome refers to the description of connectivity on a network. United States maps were generated to observe spatial trends and identify communities with similar mental health and COVID-19 trends. Between March 3rd, 2021, and January 10th, 2022, states in the southern geographic region showed similar trends for reported values of feeling anxious and worried about finances. There were no identifiable communities resembling geographical regions or political party preference for the feeling depressed indicator. We observed a high degree of correlation among southern states as well as within Republican states, where the highest correlation values from the dynamic connectome for feeling anxious and feeling depressed variables seemingly overlapped with an increase in COVID-19 related cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and rapid spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant.
