Not "just in time" for many theatres and amateur dramatic societies that rely on shows to survive. Not sure where the "just in time" comes from, but it is certainly not in time, it's 3 months later than other support.

is it all going to Tory party donors, sycophants, peers?

Of course. The government's "response" to the COVID-19 crisis has been to divert hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer's money to companies that usually turn out to be connected to party donors. The Tories are so bent you could use them as corkscrews. https://bylinetimes.com/2020/07/02/lifestyle-company-with-no-employees-or-trading-history-handed-25-million-ppe-contract/ …

Only when pressured and shamed by people who are more popular than them. It's what populists do.
