Greedy Behavior Unveiled
In a shocking revelation, civil servants were caught red-handed attempting to purchase Five Guys burgers using taxpayer-funded government credit cards. The transaction was swiftly blocked as part of a crackdown on wasteful spending in Whitehall.
Government Clampdown
The incident took place in Kings Cross, north London, where two women tried to pay for their meal with a government procurement card, only to have it declined. This move comes after the government froze 20,000 procurement cards to curb excessive spending.
Cracking Down on Waste
The Cabinet Office took action by freezing the procurement cards, alarmed by a 400% increase in spending over four years. With only a few exceptions, the freeze applies to most cards, signaling Downing Street's commitment to reducing civil service waste and extravagant expenses.
