Lawyers who lie, cheat and break the rules have no place in my profession. I will not minimise or deflect from what they have done because of politics. Standards matter.
In light of @RishiSunak’s bout of righteous fury today, maybe he’d like to say the same about politicians.
A thought...
UK banks deliberately, systemically, missold, by script, over £40bn of PPI, ripping money out of the hands of the public including many vulnerable people - no bank CEO resigned.
"The truth matters, Nigel. And the truth is that Coutts ended your relationship with them for legitimate commercial reasons. No-one should have to apologise for telling the truth. I certainly won’t."
My statement on Nigel Farage and Coutts.

@JohnGlenUK@RachelReevesMP How about you give us a detailed breakdown of the £37 billion your lot spent on useless track and trace? How do you plan to recoup the £58 billion of public money lost to fraud every year? When are you going to get back the £29 million fraudulently trousered by Michelle Mone?
Oh to have the confidence to claim this 👇 when housebuilding is on course to hit its lowest level since WW2 because you scrapped housing targets to placate your own party.
If he’s so sure, he should release the Govt’s impact assessment for the decision to scrap housing targets.
I've now had a chance to read all 40 pages of the Coutts dossier on Farage and it's 9 pages of internal risk assessment discussion (1-4, 8-12) 29 pages of evidence (5-7, 13-38) referred to in the risk assessment pages, 1 page of decision (39) and 1 page of glossary (40).

We can’t afford to continue with #Brexit!
A recent report from the National Bureau of Economic Research has highlighted the fact that Brexit is estimated to have reduced the UK’s economic output (GDP) by 6-11%, more than the 4% estimated by OBR.
This is a loss of £2000-£3500 per person per year. To put this in context, the UK spent £3477 on the NHS per person in 2021.
If we did not have Brexit, we could have used this extra growth to double expenditure in the NHS, raising the salaries of doctors and nurses, expanding the capacity to reduce waiting times, and to purchase more drugs and equipment
Every day we hear about the crisis in the NHS. Those who actively promoted Brexit with the promise of “sunny uplands” should be held to account for the economic disaster our withdrawal from the EU has created.

@GuinnessGI Having lived in China, you cannot compare our infrastructure to theirs for two reasons. 1. They rip everything down to build it. 2. You don’t talk about the poverty and empty office and residential developments that surrounds their prestige infrastructure.
Tory MP Stephen Hammond grabs Silvia’s phone here, throws it on the ground
… then, he has the audacity to threaten ‘don’t you dare publish that’
So, let’s make sure it’s shared everywhere! @snb19692
Albania’s Permanent Representative to the UN absolutely wrecks Russia in front of a full room.
He says the Russian Army clearly destroyed the Kakhovka dam and that there’s no point to listen to the Russians as they are a bunch of liars.
“How many times have they lied”?

@NASUWT@PatrickR_NASUWT This is dishonest. You have not communicated that this is not fully funded. Additionally, how can you possibly consider this a fair offer. Are you employed by the current government?
Uber eats just cancelled as it was supposed to deliver. Can’t say how disappointed I am. About to delete the app - hope lots of other people do likewise. A first world problem but…
