Feels wrong that first role doesn't it...The only reasons companies pay for this type of advisory role is if they feel they will help them grow ..impossible to think they won't use his parliamentary leverage and network in the UK business..

£100k a year for a 7 hour week? I can't think of anything that could scream corruption more.

There should be a ban on any paid employment for MPs.

another one leaves...

Amal clooney has said she is resigning as the UK's special envoy on media freedom over the government's "lamentable" suggestion it could violate international law over the brexit withdrawal agreement.

Very good piece

I particularly note this bit

as he moved into his political career. Against the odds — he had only been nominated, a party source said, “to liven things up at the hustings” — he became the Conservative MP for Henley in 2001 and by 2004 had progressed to the party’s front bench.

Moral: as with Corbyn, do not nominate, or vote, for anyone unless you are prepared to have them win.

However, this made me laugh:

Carrie works for the ‘Save The Oceans, Feed The World initiative’, while Boris’s contribution to reducing plastic use is said to be avoiding using condoms.

Shamelessly stolen from Matt Haig on twitter


Said it before but people go on too much about the privileged background of politicians. For instance, Matt Hancock had a very humble upbringing in an Italian workshop owned by a woodworker named Geppetto who turned him into a human boy.

This is concerning:

Could it be that Raab's stupidity is infectious? If so, what's the R number? And are we seeing exponential growth?

More corruption imminent.

For starters he needs to quarantine for 14 days. Not that it will make any difference because he is never seen anyway.

"Travelled there to baptise his son"

[bigwheel]

There’s a few twists here..No 10 now claiming he “was baptising his son at Westminster Cathedral. A priest can confirm this” on the weekend in question .

1. Why would Italy have a note of him arriving if it wasn’t true ?
2. Boris was originally catholic, converted to CoE in the 80s, seems to now be Catholic again

Can’t believe that of a man who is so steadfast in his convictions

Wouldn't that rule him out of becoming King?

Only if he was the type of person who followed rules.

Going to any school other than about less than a handful essentially stops you working your way up the greasy pole to become PM anyway.

He failed that most critical of tests though, which is managing to be elected by England.

No, he became Catholic the week after he stood down. Just a coincidence.

I think it was after. There is nothing stopping a Catholic becoming PM though. So good news for Jacob Rees-Mogg
