Did you know that MPs earning money from second jobs spoke and voted less than other MPs in parliament last year? Agree this is wrong? Join me and sign the petition to ban MPs from taking paid media jobs: https://t.co/kb4MAgPA50
Why has legal action not been taken against the Directors of Thames Water?
It is illegal for a company to pay out dividends or trade while insolvent under the Companies Act 2006, S 830: If a company is insolvent, it means it does not have sufficient distributable profits, and thus, paying dividends would be illegal. Directors who authorise such payments can be held personally liable to repay the unlawfully distributed dividends.
Insolvency Act 1986:Wrongful Trading (Section 214): Directors can be held personally liable if they continue to trade when they knew, or ought to have concluded, that there was no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation.
Legal Consequences for
Directors engaging in trading while insolvent or authorise unlawful dividend payments can face the below:
- Personal liability for company debts
- Disqualification from serving as a director for up to 15 years
- Criminal charges, particularly in cases of fraudulent trading

I just signed the petition calling on the next government to back NHS England's plan to hire more permanent NHS staff, instead of wasting taxpayer's money on private agencies. Will you join me? https://t.co/rPIkqBMFrx
@gavinesler Let’s not obey that rule. Let’s mention Brexit. Let’s ridicule it and despise it. Let’s expose it for the epically damaging moronathon that it is.
A great rule for life from Martin Samuel (The Times).
This is settler colonialism, happening right now. During a war of aggression and atrocity Russians come to Ukraine and claim property on illegally-occupied lands (here Mariupol).
Ian Hislop, "Lee Anderson did a thing about St George's Day where he said he was incredibly proud.. He had St George's Day cufflinks.. And he said: this is one in the eye for all you lot of avocado eating Palestinian flag wavers"
"And I was thinking: St George came from Palestine" #HIGNFY
Politicians like Nigel Farage can’t be trusted to remain impartial. That’s why I’m telling @Ofcom to ban politicians from presenting on news channels to stop any bias on our news before the General Election. Can you sign too? https://t.co/EW0JYBOrkc
And in a 1991 BBC Panorama programme we showed how PM John Major had been registered in 1968 at a house in Lambeth which the owner told me he'd never lived at - not even for one night. That qualified him to stand for Lambeth Council, and he duly won a seat. The Mail splash described the story as "BBC Hatchet Job On Major".
So again, there was a big fuss, but no action was taken.
The House of Lords is full of people nominated for their financial contributions to a Party, rather than their public service.

Russia was forced to attack Ukraine because Ukrainians wanted to join NATO?
NATO promised it would not expand to the east but later broke this promise?
It will take me less than five minutes to prove with facts that both statements are false.
