They Still Can't Help It Can They.

A Ex Tory Mp who earned £70,000 on the side when he was  a serving MP showed "blatant disregard" in failing to register earnings with The Commons Standards Commitee While being employed as a consultant for a defence   company .Bob Stewart who was MP  for Beckenham at the time .

This Mp is to be punished by having his Parliamentary Pass taken from him .So no more cheap Gin and Tonics him then.

The same commitee is also investigating Tory former minister Sir Geoffrey Cox over his registration of interests.

Much the same as Labour's Tulip Suddiq who failed to declare rental income for more than a year (conveniently concluded to be an oversight) and Labour's Morgan McSweeney who failed to declare £700k donations to the electoral campaign.

Yep, spent more time filling their own wallet, instead of filling the black hole.

[nicebloke1]

^^ Off topic?

How do you fill a black hole?

[bhg481]

You can use tarmac on the ones in a road; that would be a good start.

[nicebloke1]

Off topic x2^^

[gulliver1]

Cox even had the audacity to visit the British Virgin Islands spending time on legal work, while parliament was sitting and no doubt claiming his parliamentary salary.... Trousering Tories....                       They just can't help it can they.

Makes you wonder what else is going to come to light over the next few months. I notice Gove appears to be keeping his head down just lately, almost like a self imposed lock down. He's been questioned a few times about the PPE contracts that he aproved?

i think you wll find every party is and has been at the trough, labour members are not altruistic, i think of fagan in oliver twist.

Perhaps you should note that sleaze is not isolated to one party. Just ask what Rosie Duffield had to say, in September 24, about the current Labour Party.

Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury, has resigned as a Labour MP, condemning “cruel and unnecessary policies” of the government and a row over donations and gifts received by Keir Starmer.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, Duffield, who has served as the MP for the Kent constituency since 2017, she said: “The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”

I dont have a problem of bad apples being sorted from any box. Its the ones we know about and appear to get away with it.

No answer from you nicebloke on gulliver's "That's The Way To Do It." thread from yesterday.  As I have said in the past get your facts right before posting.  I don't lie and I dont post insults unless you really want me to.

[nicebloke1]

^^ oh for goodness sake get a life, I dont spend all day every day on AB. Maybe I decided at some point it was done and dusted, and not worth any more time. In fact its not.

13.46 Mr Nicebloke. I think Gove and Johnson will need to be Questioned very very Closely when Michelle Mone and Hancock are brought to justice.

Thank you nicebloke for confirming you really are not a nicebloke.  Please feel free to ignore anything I put on in future.
