Honestly, it’s just such a deluge there will be cases that people just don’t have time to investigate.
One of the reasons I cancelled my Private Eye membership was it just made me miserable reading about all the grifting, and the level of “No, I’m not doing anything” that anyone trying to combat it had to constantly fight through.
As an avid reader of Hungarian domestic politics news, I can confirm that the deluge is a feature, not a bug. Having read the hundred thousandth article about the prime minister’s inner circle winning yet another tender, yet another government contract, monopoly over one more industry, most people get desensitised to the point that they zone out completely. What’s the point if there is no other lane but the VIP lane?
Mmm I wonder why…
Covid VIP lane scandal
Covid profiteering
Life Peer investigated for fraud
Russians & Brexit
Son of Russian spy in Lords
Foreign Secretary secretive trip
Brexit Teeside freeport corruption investigation

Makes me wonder what else there is which hasn’t been discovered and reported.

That was exactly the same reason i stopped reading Private eye. Its relentless and seemingly nothing will stop the corruption

Probably not that much, considering how flagrant they seem to be these days.
