Rishi Sunak - and his miserly Government

WTF the Zahawi Tax is on BBC all of a sudden

See Naga decided not to do the interview with Rayner after her outburst the other day with Lisa Nandy

^ I suspect The BBC alongside other media received warning letters from Zahawis’ solicitors which warned them off for many months

How jolly nice of him.

You either agree to pay a Fixed Penalty Notice or you disagree and go to a magistrate’s court to contest it.

How Rishi Sunak's Treasury helped Putin's top warlord sue Bellingcat journalist Eliot Higgins in London

How did the notorious Wagner Group chief get a 'special licence' from the UK govt, when he was already on the sanctions list?

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/prigozh...bel-slapp/

"UK Treasury, then under Rishi Sunak’s control, let Yevgeny Prigozhin circumvent sanctions to target Eliot Higgins"

"An investigation by openDemocracy has found that:

The government granted licences for a British law firm to work on the case, and approved key steps along the way;

Sanctions prevented Prigozhin from coming to London, but the UK government gave permission for his British lawyers to fly business class to St Petersburg so they could meet face-to-face and finalise their legal attack on Higgins

Prigozhin paid his London lawyers directly via wire transfer from Russia, causing the UK bank to initially withhold funds due to sanctions

The London case was a key plank of his strategy to thwart the global sanctions."

"Wealthy individuals abuse the UK legal system to attack legitimate journalists with the assistance of British lawyers"

"It is absolutely ludicrous that the government stands accused of evading the sanctions it itself imposed. If this is true, why did Parliament not know about it? Where is the accountability?" - Margaret Hodge, Labour MP
