Busy day for Alistair Jack. Looks like his company trousered £2m from the govt.

Jack and his family, according to the last Confirmation Statement, have less than 1% of the shares. He isn't on the Board.
It was a loan. There has been no suggestion that the loan hasn't been, or won't be, repaid.
There are many things to decry the Tories about. IMO I can't see this as being one of them.Last edited by CropleyWasGod; 16-01-2023 at 06:39 PM.

Now we learn from the Sunday Times about an arrangement where a distant cousin of Johnson’s, a rich Canadian named Sam Blyth, guaranteed the cash-strapped prime minister an £800,000 line of credit to help fund his wallpaper habit.
Should a prime minister be allowed to accept a very large gift from a rich foreign person and keep it a secret? This does not feel like one of the trickier propriety and ethics questions. And yet, somehow, it turns out that it was.

Is it because so many arguments (Scottish Independence, Brexit, Westminster Politics in general) are now blighted by straw man arguments, irrelevance, triviality, mudslinging and utter bollocks that the Tories are more than ever able to hide in plain sight for the genuinely deplorable things that they do?
Subjects I once found engaging and interesting I'm finding more and more to be a chore to follow.

There is so much noise and so many in public office acting in bad faith that switching off for some is guaranteed.

Under a further change to the bill, video footage that shows people crossing the Channel in small boats in a “positive light” will be added to a list of illegal content that all tech platforms must proactively prevent from reaching users.
Donelan said posting positive videos of crossings could be aiding and abetting immigration offences. Natalie Elphicke, the Conservative MP for Dover, had originally tabled an amendment proposing the change.Last edited by grunt; 17-01-2023 at 07:45 PM.

****ing Tories #2
Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world. We are roughly 550 plus people of 70-plus nationalities who are country experts, lawyers, journalists, and others who work to protect the most at risk, from vulnerable minorities and civilians in wartime, to refugees and children in need. We direct our advocacy towards governments, armed groups and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies and practices. To ensure our independence, we refuse government funding and carefully review all donations to ensure that they are consistent with our policies, mission, and values. We partner with organizations large and small across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to account and bring justice to victims.
(London) – The United Kingdom government repeatedly sought to damage and undermine human rights protections in 2022, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2023.
“In 2022, we saw the most significant assault on human rights protections in the UK in decades,” said Yasmine Ahmed, UK director at Human Rights Watch. “From your right to protest to your ability to hold institutions to account, fundamental and hard-won rights are being systematically dismantled.”

Strikes have now cost more than it would have cost to settle the dispute.
