The Sunaks are earning millions off government contracts | Peter Geoghegan interview 

I totally agree!!!!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!

This right here.

Yup too right and now they can even look in your bank account.

​@@HA05GERThey think that because they are corrupt that everyone else must be corrupt as well. This paranoia is what has led to the influx of snooper legislation being impinged on the British people.

It's great because it's coming to light right now, just so that by November when the GE happens it will have finally filtered through to the thickest floating voters in the most important marginals ... But it simply does not in fact qualify as corruption for the simple reason that at no point is there any suggestion that Sunak sits on any of these boards or panels which are actually awarding the contracts. It qualifies as unbelievably pathetic, incompetent to the point of corruption perhaps, that MPs' spouses' financial and other interests do not have to be declared in the Members' Interests Register. But that's just the consequence of standard Palace of Westminster sh'tness and slowness. The same reason the HMRC website is complete dysfunctional crap which a 12-year-old programmer could have written better.

@@mikel8850 Most people don't want better governments and politicians? What type of braindead take is that.

Most people only cited for Brexit.......if you compared Rishis policies to Corbyns policies during COVID he made Corbyn look like a Tory ​@@mikel8850

​@@nnkk7742 Sadly ... it is true. They _should_ care. But they don't. And this attitude has been reinforced by the politicians who benefit from it.

Murdoch won't allow it.

Only the Guardian pays it's taxes in the UK. The others offshore profits.

If it was another party's MP, it would be.

...and it's not, and that should tell us all something.

Tabloids are only right-wing

I think that's gonna be one of the Tories election promises!

Doesn’t a democracy require the people to vote for a specific leader or are they just letting anybody run the UK now? How many prime ministers were elected through a vote in the last 15 years? Gordon brown? Nope, Teresa May, nope, Nick Clegg/David Cameron tagteam Nope, Richy Sunak Nope, the list goes on. UK thinks they’re woke but they’re more asleep than ever

Morals, they couldn't spell the word.

​@@starofdavid9919 ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL, they are THIEVES. 🤔🤔🤔

Unfortunately, corruption is part of the human condition - every country is subject to it, to a greater or lesser extent.

I get it 😭 🫖🍰 🫂🌹

Feel your Frustration mate , they get away with everything , one rule for them a different one for the rest of us , Bds .

Don’t do anything meaningful….even though you want to!

The platform they use have been bought by Murdoch, if good journalist raise anything, the Murdoch empire will crush them.

@hawkhoskins4250 what options do we? And what are we told about the options? The whole thing is suss.

It's not really that they're crap, is that the editors are not allowed to publish these kind of things because Daddy Murdoch on high won't let them. There's a reason these kinds of stories usually come from independent journalists (or journalists that do work for these papers publishing it independently).

It's the 'beigeification' of industries. We've been led to believe that one achieves based on one's merit which, in journalism, was always the case. It used to be an industry full of diverse backgrounds, especially the working class. However, as the disparity between the rich and poor has widened over, yes, specifically the last 40 years, those only in the middle economic brackets can move into positions of semi-power. Journalism these days is full of those whose parents afforded them the privilege of un-paid internships which has meant a loss of diversity of thinking but also a loss of actual merit. The 60s and 70s were a blossoming of civil rights that were put in place by politicians with a moral conscience who were not in the game for personal greed but were, instead, aware of the importance for a nation's heath for all its citizens to live in decent conditions so that everyone had a chance of fulfilling their life's purpose. For the last 40 years our rights have been lost at a rate of knots and those that can afford to move into positions of semi-power have become homogenised resulting in the society we see today - that of greed and corruption, with neither checks nor balance and a narrowing of thought. What is to be done?

I’ll take some blame here. I don’t pay for any news media. I read plenty online, rarely buy a paper.

Legacy media are all Oxbridge or wannabe yuppies whose purpose is to toe the govt establishment line. Journalists like Peter Geoghegan don't have reach for a reason and they have no power to hold these that we are questioning to account. Hold them account how? At the heart if it, they have not broken the law because 'our' law is written by those that govern over us and we no longer have the calibre of politicians in the country any longer who do bring this topic up for debate for reform. Who do you suggest voting for to change this? Control-freakery is off the chart these days. If it's not illegal, why would it change? If those in positions of power profit in this way, why would any of them change the structure of our legal system?

Nothing is illegal when the system has been captured 😂

Because they are the ones that write and change the laws.

​@@TravisHi_YTcorrection, the predecessors wrote the law and these laws have loop holes. Simple

Because they are the ones who make the laws with full power to protect themselves after having a majority in parliament

​@@TravisHi_YT ABSOLUTELY BLOODY DISGUSTING.

bcoz king got cancer

I like you 👍

​@@The-walloper Me too.👏👏👏🤔🤔🤔🤑🤑🤑

So... When are you quitting your job to go help dig water wells in Africa..?

agree ...these arnt the only people doing this trust me ....theres more companys then u think ....

I can't stand sunk, but you're mad if the rest of the politicians aren't doing it

It is to wonder if this whole thing is God’ sense of humour. A way for British to return back some of the money and resources stolen from India for so many decades. If all this money ends up in India and back in the hands of the common folks to improve the country’s situation where most people live under $2 @ day. It’s not too bad. Again God has a mighty sense of humour.

It probably will come up in a PMQs but it will need to be timed well. As will a bunch of other massively damaging ones. None of the opposition questions ever have a specific time frame to ask they are chosen for strategic benefit. Sometimes a story breaks in the media and they go that route but others are held for key times. If the opposition go for the Sunaks government corruption and theft now it will outrage the public for a few weeks but if the election is in next January 2025 the public will forget (well enough of the public). The Opposition questions are posed to inflict maximum damage to the incumbent or to reinforce a narrative. This particular topic can derail the whole Infosys/India trade deal for months. It would be better to hit Sunak with this when he commits to a firm date of the election giving him no time to bury the scandal succinctly.

Sadly there are many many more corrupt governments than our own

Because Starmer, if elected, would likely do the same thing. Award friends large government contracts

@Discombobulate453 so you're saying we should keep the current government in place despite knowing they are literally ALL criminals to a man because there's a chance the next lot might not be great? After 14 years of driving people into the ground, killing 100,000s through forced impoverishment, taking backhanders for helping corporations rob the population blind, creating division using racial tropes and pushing us to the brink of civil war just to distract you from the fact its them hurting everyone...after all this, not even mentioning the ongoing national suicide that is Brexit, you STILL think Starmer is the boogie man? You are precisely the reason why this country will never recover. I'm fortunate, I work in financial services and have done well for myself. I don't struggle with my bills and consider myself extremely lucky. The Tories, technically, are better for me financially. That doesn't mean it's OK to forget about my fellow citizens. People who already had nothing, are losing even more now. This is a pathetic government, most of whom belong in jail. If you can't see that, you're the reason I think there should be a basic intelligence test to be allowed to vote.

Because Murdoch media keeps people focussed on irrelevant rubbish.

She wasn't but is now and didn't pay 20m in tax that she would have paid she said sorry she didn't now she had to and will pay from now on so basically she got of without paying 20m in tax what a piss take

@neilbevan6480 It sounds like a variant of, "Me no English" except the husband was the Chancellor 😆

Now if I made this remark about the lefts favourite victim religion, there would be a chorus of "racissssmmmmmmm""""@@Dawah_Help

@@Dawah_Help so from your name it's obvious you're an Islamist. How old was Aisha when your prophet married her

Standard tendering my arse!

Don’t worry, considering they’ll probably win the next GE he will soon be doing the same thing.

I liked the idea I saw a few years ago from America: politicians should wear badges like racing drivers to show who donates to them.

🤦🏾‍♂️

Wake up, they are all at it, Tories, Labour, Liberals, SNP and list goes on and on.

Yes agree but the people who make the laws are the ones abusing them.

There will be just 1million small gifts received.

Her father is, she will inherit billions though.

WEF. Young leader.

and he brags he does not know anyone poor....LOL well pleb now u know

Why would a billionaire want governmental power? The answer is to grab government contracts and they make this corruption legal because they have the power to make laws so that they get away with it. It's a clever loophole.

Yes pure lies

Don't wait for a change vote for one.

​@@Robert-cu9bmstill too far away. take direct action

It really is pitch fork time, before these hopeless hypocrites destroy our country.

WISE UP & RISE UP !!!!!

Diversion from ineptitude

@@freko106 Before or after this? The Daily Mail By NEIL TWEEDIE 10 June 2020 "Attorney General Suella Braverman and her religious sect are still mired in sex abuse scandal after founder of the Buddhist group sexually preyed on dozens of young men The Government's top legal officer is so devoted to a Buddhist group that she almost became ordained Yet its revered founder sexually preyed on dozens of young men... some of whom reveal they've suffered every since"

@@freko106 Yeah and didn't disclose her financial involvment. We know. Source: CivilSociety "Home secretary accused of failing to disclose Rwanda charity link Home secretary Suella Braverman has been accused of failing to formally disclose links to a charity that trained lawyers in Rwanda. Braverman co-founded the Africa Justice Foundation (AJF) in 2010 and used to chair the charity, which trained lawyers in sub-Saharan African countries. The Independent reported this week that Braverman did not formally disclose her links to the charity when she was appointed home secretary last year. According to the Independent, “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”. The newspaper reported that one former minister told it that the home secretary “never mentioned” her work with the charity."

@@joso7228 Not at all. Again what is in it financially for Rishi Sushi if he is able to get migrants sent to Rwanda? How much money does he get?

@@freko106 And has her financial interest in it. Yes we know.

his god is Money... the one with an elephant head and a obese Indian body... thats a money god... and UK is the cash cow.

no he's not. His wife's dad is a multi billionaire tech entrepreneur and India's 5th richest man. There's nothing illegal about marrying into wealth.

@underdawg2743 Indian big business as clean as a whistle...😆

@@underdawg2743 sorry. You're mumbling. Think it's rishis member in your mouth. He's given his family hundreds of millions in contracts. No tenders. That's corruption. He made his money from the banking crash before he married her. Stand up guy

@@kanedNunable look at you, spouting your repressed gay fantasies. Butthurt little closet boy is green eyed cos Rishi is a baller

Well everyone is saying that which is why he wants to stay till November

He is goign to lose the next election. They only have themselves to blame. I cant see labour doing any better with the cards that were left on the table but i think it is time for new blood. The cons had far too long with their filthy snouts in the trough siphoning money off of the public teat.

You think he gives a fxxk? He's just going to milk the game whilst he can

Yes I agree

Well you know what thought did???

Balls!

He infiltrated the government to line his own pockets and doesn’t care at all about how bad he looks doing it. Now he’s our prime minister???

There's an investigation into David Cameron's (corruption) on Greensil. It's rife in this gov't.

He knows he, ll lost the next election so is just biding his time, then he and his wife and all the rest of the corrupt lot can swan off with their loot. Leaving the Labour Party to clear up their mess

That doesn't make it illegal.

Honestly, this has all been happening behind closed doors since Dutch Shell advertised their intent to sell their equity in the gas field off Gaza which happened years ago. You can't help but wonder what deals have been going on behind closed doors for all of this to come to pass they way that it has. Yes, 'business is business' but there is something seriously underhand with what is happening in the Holy Land and the 7th of Oct was not the full story. What a ghastly aspect of the world we live in - some people are filled with filthy greed and corruption

Its all India plc

All.the time "the rich" exist, it ain't gonna happen, I'm afraid?! I do not feel envious of the rich, I feel embarrassed by the sheer fact that they exist?!

How old are you though because as a teacher, I've never seen so many young people who obsess over monetary wealth, status and style over substance. Everything is image these days which is based on the animal nature of desire and greed. Some of us thought that we were evolving to relinquish such 'ideals' however we seem to be going backwards. The reason I asked you your generation bracket is because the older of us grew up in a world where image, brand and ads weren't as insidious in society as they are now@@GG-hu9dn

Are u defending your class ?

@@lordmountbatten154 God! Class? Nothing but inferiority complexed claptrap!

Says a person who's chosen to name their online persona after one of the most well-know pea doe files in the so-called 'class system'. Great choice. Says it all. Have a look into the school for 'wayward' boys in Northern Ireland and Mount Batten & his cohort including the psychiatrist employed there then, look at said Doc in relation to a boat called Azimuth in Cornwall where boys would sail across the channel organised by your namesake's cohort. Ungodly choice, well-done@@lordmountbatten154

Called Roland 😂

Sunak is a big rat who undoubtedly will leave the sinking ship the day after the GE , personally I think all Tory MPs should have to hand their passports in before the next GE to prevent them from leaving the country while investigations into their parties corruption.

Anything but the Tories

Current labour will be exactly the same

@@YA-hm5zy Obviously it won't though will it. The two parties disagree fundamentally on a number of key issues, and the backbenchers are made up of a completely different demographic of politicians

@@YA-hm5zy Very evidently incorrect.

So that's why labour have confirmed they won't undo anything the Tories have done. Like lifting caps on bankers bonuses but keeping caps on benefits for the most vulnerable. Like not repealing the Draconian legislation which stops us protesting and striking etc.

Billionaires are only driven by greed

HAHAHA

How did you think you become a millionaire

altruism in the tory party? lol.

Parasitic, pure and simple.

I WOULDNT WANT EM MAKING ME A CUPPA TEA

I don't think they've ever made one in their lives, bold to assume they cook their own food.

Starmer is also WEF and Trilateral Commission. You can vote for Klaus Schwab or Klaus Schwab.

I do not understand. what else has to happen for electorates to not vote Tory!!!

Or Labour! You must be crazy to vote for either 🙀

As in competetive capitalism not corrupt crony capitalism.

Socialism 🤔

You don't need to, you just need to use aspects of other countries that have far greater equality, humanity and empathy. Their people are happier and when things go wrong in people's lives, they don't demonise them, they provide the safety net required. We followed america in our standards with Reagan and then russia wanting britain out of the eu further damaging the economy and putting charlatans in power. One of the main reasons Boris farage mogg et al wanted out of the eu was to avoid the new tax laws cracking down on avoidance and fraud

haha careful - that's a dirty word these days 😅@@YA-hm5zy
