I think he probably overpaid somewhat in his enthusiasm to help her though!

Perhaps the Ministerial Code needs reviewing. It is bogging us all down with trivia.
It's breaking that Cruella is involved with a Rwandan charity that's been training lawyers for five years, so bogged down with personal interests and corruption

“several people the charity worked with are now key members of president Paul Kagame’s government and are involved in the UK’s £140m deal to send asylum seekers to Rwanda”.

Why is that corrupt? Do you have any evidence of that?

Bloody hell, you would make it impossible for the government to govern if you were in charge of the rules!

Maybe you think government ministers should imprison themselves within their own four walls to avoid meeting someone they may have associated with at some point who now has a different role. :rolleyes:

No one is saying that - what they are saying is that she should have declared a possible conflict of interest.

You may wish to get a taller step-ladder to help you get off your high horse… ;)

Quote:
One former minister told The Independent that the home secretary “never mentioned” her work with the charity and should have been “upfront and transparent”, while two former standards chiefs said Ms Braverman should have formally disclosed her former role.
Quote:
Sir Alex Allan, the former adviser on ministerial standards who quit under Boris Johnson, said the home secretary’s past work should have been declared after she became responsible for the Rwanda deal.

“I would have thought that it would be an issue that she would have had to discuss with the Home Office permanent secretary,” he added. “There would have been an internal discussion.”

The former minister said Ms Braverman should have referenced any previous work with the Rwandan government to colleagues: “It absolutely has to be flagged - this is all part of the ministerial code.”

An interesting counter point:

Quote:
Rishi Sunak, the richest PM in history, donated £3m dollars in 2018 to the privately owned Claremont McKenna University in California. There’s a lab named after him.

Schools in his Yorkshire constituency, as elsewhere, regularly attempt to raise money for missing equipment & supplies

It's a pity that his policies make his family less able to do something similar here!
