A City firm set up by two Conservative party donors with close ties to ministers has profited from multimillion-pound employment schemes set up by the coalition government, the Guardian has established.

A firm which was set up by two Tory donors and won contracts worth Â£73m from the coalition government to find work for unemployed people has exactly one advertisement for apprenticeships on its website.

Maggy you surprised tho?

All this workfare is just a shift of government money to private firms. Either via the schemes themselves or supplied free labour.

Corruption? In Whitehall? Who'da thunk it? Although I love when it gets exposed so beautifully though :)

I await the "the matter slipped my mind"-style comment from whoever is to blame.

And from personal experience I can say that at least 2 Workfair providers take the money then don't provide the service. The Jobcentre staff know this too, and can't do anything about it.
