The protest laws in the UK will mean that you wouldn't be able to do it.

The French like a good protest. We don’t as a rule.

That's how they get away with some of it.

However that specific episode isn't allowed at all. Or shouldn't be.

Wow, a positive environmental Government policy that exceeds even the highest possible expectation! Maybe they're not all bad after all.

Oh wait, it's a massive typo.

Not seen this before so apologies if it has already been posted. What training did she get to be a lawyer or did she buy a certificate on the internet?

Leaving aside the appalling picks, just no. You don't get to do this.

This might look rubbish and that I haven't bounced back.

I absolutely loathe Coffey. A mix of thick, lazy and incredibly condescending. What a dreadful Minister.

When I opened your post my first thought was that Coffey had tidied herself up a it. Then I realised I was looking at Barry Gardiner.

From the Gruniad - nothing to see here.

Yesterday, when Rishi Sunak was giving evidence to the Commons liaison committee, there was a cryptic question from Labour’s Catherine McKinnell, who wanted to know if he had anything to declare in relation to the government’s childminder recruitment bonus scheme. People who sign up as a childminder will get a £600 bonus, but £1,2000 if they sign up through an agency.

Sunak said all his interests were declared. And he defended the anomaly, saying agency recruitment costs were higher.

In a report for the i, Richard Vaughan and Paul Waugh explain what prompted the question; Sunak’s wife, Akshata Murty, has shares in a childcare agency that could benefit, they report. They say:

According to Companies House, Ms Murty was listed as a shareholder in Koru Kids as recently as 6 March 2023 and has been since March 2021 …
Agencies such as Koru Kids can expect to see a major increase in business as a result of the pilot, as it will drive prospective childminders to sign up via agencies.

No 10 told the i that it would not comment on Murty’s business arrangements because she was a private individual, and that Sunak had declared all relevant interests.

Liz Truss has put out a statement criticising the Government for increasing Corporation Tax from 19% to 25%. She may have forgotten but this change was re-announced when she was Prime Minister, after she had reversed it a few weeks earlier which was part of the measures that sent the markets into panic.

 

[Kenny]

So much happened in her 15 mins of being PM it will be easy for her to forget stuff

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

She really is talking to herself in a political wasteland surrounded by tumbleweed. Someone should tell her it’s over.
