Integrity in politics? How about two immediate reforms: 1. Party donors can't be made Lords 2. Party donors and associates can't bid for public contracts @EndCorruptionUK @rose_whiffen @GavinHayman_GW @opencontracting @Sussex_SCSC theguardian.com/politics/artic…

UK public debt: Oct 2023: £2,64trn, 97.8% of GDP Feb 2020: £1.791tn, 79.1% of GDP May 2010: £1.03tn, 65% of GDP Tories borrowed more than all Labour Govts combined. Squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich, contracts for cronies. No new industries. Public services destroyed
US author Cormac McCarthy dies sad day, he illustrated in graphic form the way we humans can behave. bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…
Extraordinary that political parties are required to do so few checks on donations and that money can buy you anonymity in the UK courts for so long. Serious questions for @NCA_UK and the government which is resisting a Lords amendment to tighten up checks on donors.
📢In a crucial victory for open justice after amazing work by @martinbentham & @BBCNews, a major Tory Party donor, Javad Marandi, can now be named r.e a court case about the Azerbaijani Laundromat. The case raises urgent questions that need investigation: spotlightcorruption.org/major-conserva…
I have spoken to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Secretary of State for Health & Social Care. It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience.
A London company owned by oligarchs from the former Soviet Union is suing me and my publisher @HarperCollinsUK over Kleptopia, my book about how dirty money is conquering the world. The first hearing was recently delayed but will now be at the High Court this Weds, March 2
🧵US Senior Admin Official, in call with reporters, said in addition to disconnecting key Russian banks from SWIFT, the US & Europeans agreed to launch a mutlilateral transatlantic task force to identify, hunt down and seize the assets of sanctioned Russian officials & oligarchs,
As the Rt. Hon Andrew Mitchell said to me only last Sept. when we were at his old college for a conference, ‘I tell everyone they should watch this fantastic documentary about the police, In the Line of Duty’. Series 7 keeps the same documentary style….
Welcome to my world John, sadly it’s not changing, if anything getting worse. Take a snapshot of the past decade of UK law enforcement (ex. SFO) fighting international corruption: 27 convictions bribery/money laundering etc. That’s 1st 5yrs, second 5 yrs 0 convictions and 1 UWO..
I’m a couple of years late (at least) but this, from @OliverBullough is absolutely essential reading. More so now than ever.
'It can be very hard to tease out populism that hovers near the borders of probity from a genuine slip over the precipice into state capture. We may have got so used to seeing corruption as a problem that happens to others, that we will not spot it until very late in the day.'
NEW BLOG 📢What does the @OwenPaterson case reveal about corruption in UK politics? @CSC_barrington @SussexPolitics 👇👇👇 zurl.co/t85P
"They have broken the law... They have broken treaties... They have broken their word..." That's the view of a former Conservative PM on the current government. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-591889…
At the risk of repeating myself… They’re not ‘extra’ They’re not ‘additional’ And to suggest that they are is a lie. They don’t even come close to replacing the 44,000 officers and staff the government cut from policing between 2010 & 2018.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 We've now recruited 11,053 extra police officers. 🇬🇧 We're delivering on our promise to the British people to recruit 20,000 additional police. They will cut crime and keep our streets safe. 👉🏽 joiningthepolice.co.uk
Too late, it’s gone on a nice getaway to the Caribbean, the new luxury car, and the fantastic lifestyle over the last 12 mths…..whilst many genuine business owners struggled.
£100m in funding in the budget for a "Taxpayer Protection Force" within HMRC to deal with...fraud again covid support schemes...that had minimal fraud checks built in. I say no more.
It is sadly of no surprise
#funkyfilings incoming. First the story: A group of four obscure companies received as much as £40m in funds under the UK’s coronavirus economic support schemes, despite little public evidence that the businesses have any staff ft.com/content/b3c703…
I've seen a lot of gongs handed out, some deserving, other not. If ever there are two people who we should place on a pedestal and say thank you, it's #rogerpaulinefitter just heard their amazing story on @BBCRadio4
Foster parents Pauline and Roger Fitter once turned their Sussex garden into a campsite for adopted children in need Now in their 80s, and after helping 620 youngsters, the couple are finally retiring thetimes.co.uk/article/foster…

As a minister you can’t have your mistress (or your mates/party donors) marking your homework - spot on from @carolineslocock Essential that @PublicStandards strong recommendations to regulate non-exec directors are implemented urgently as a result of this scandal.
This: @carolineslocock explains exactly why #MattHancock breached ministerial standards ans should resign
