Yet more Tory sleaze….

[glasgowcyclist]

The only reason for the government to use public money to store useless goods is because somewhere a Tory will be raking it in.

Dump the goods and dump the Tories.

The plot thickens.

This appears to be most pertinent:
”She will also no longer be bound by parliamentary rules to declare her interests, including any directorships, shareholdings and non-financial interests.”

I hope her leave of absence is denied.

Must we have a new thread for every twisted Guardian story?

It does emphasise how easily you are being played, but we already have several 'Tories are shite' threads.

Variety is the spice of life.

Of course we do, it's his life.

It ties in with the sleazy 2016 £350 million a week NHS Brexit claim.


Neil Kinnock hints at £154 million a week loss for the NHS.

Michelle Mone stole eleven hundred years of ambulance paramedic starting salary.

Theft, gift, or consideration for more IT lessons?

Taking a leave of absence from the Lords when there is no requirement to actually attend ? Wonder what's up with her,she hasn't actually spoken there since March 2020 🙄

She's making the Ultimo sacrifice for the sake of her career....

"The code states that if a peer takes a formal break “in order to avoid an impending investigation (or while an investigation is under way), the request may be refused”. If a peer is already on leave of absence when placed under investigation, then that can also be ended immediately."
Nothing at all to hide. Obviously.

If you're on leave your finances don't need to be declared....Coincidence I'm sure.

She's just looking for more support.

Why can't a Tory just be gifted £29 million without an eyebrow raised, its so unfair.

It sounds like she's getting ready to do a runner and leave the country.

Or separation

She likely won't be the worst.
It's as if the extractive energy which unleashed our rapine and pillage and extermination upon the globe during our colonial heyday is now confined to the domestic sphere. Remove our national (common) wealth to off-shore tax havens. These aren't patriots, they're traitors.
Severed heads on spikes; you know it makes sense..

She'll soon be basquing in the sun.
