A great inspirational talk by Heather Thomas. We are still looking for trustees for this amazing charity scaramouchesailing.org.uk/2025/02/20/joi…

This great charity is looking for trustees. Supports the UK's leading school sailing programme, taking inner city kids to the top of the sailing world. @yandyfeed @RYA @OceanYouthTrust

Fantastic job at the heart of the UK's fight against dirty money & corruption.

🚨We're hiring!🚨 The APPG is looking for a dedicated coordinator, hosted by @FPCThinkTank. Details below👇

This post is problematic for a number of reasons. A thread…🧵 1. For those attempting to make sense of Trump’s victory and the rise of the far-right across Europe - look no further than the PMs statement below. Whether you like it or not, the far-right has a set of common narratives. We can probably all recite them…

I wish the British Foreign Secretary all the best with this. London's bankers, PR agencies, lobbying firms and lawyers - along with its properties - have long facilitated capital flight by some of Africa's most brutal and corrupt regimes.

Incredible to see our beginners at West Reservoir Centre today (where Kai started) and also Kai having come so far with Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team. Hard to comprehend!

Strong words from @DavidLammy on tackling #DirtyMoney - with sanctions against 3 kleptocrats as a ‘starting gun’ on a new campaign. We @TransparencyUK also look forward to tougher against professionals who enable #corruption + proper transparency in offshore financial centres.

Every year an estimated £388 billion that should have been paid in tax disappears into tax havens. A third of that flows into, or through, or is enabled by Britain and its Overseas Territories – new research from @TaxJusticeNet shows. taxjustice.uk/blog/a-third-o…

The UK continues to enable global tax abuse, disproportionately harming Global South countries. @TaxJusticeAfric joined us in writing to the government to make clear: this situation represents a continuation of the extractive, colonial model.

I said I would take on dirty money when I became Foreign Secretary. Today, I am.

Hurray! See you there

Just a reminder. If you haven’t voted yet…. For a youth sailor who spends most of his time facilitating other peoples sailing!!! britishyachtingawards.com/jessye-opoku-w…

📢 Large organisations are to be held criminally responsible if they profit from fraudulent practices. We're driving a culture of responsibility and accountability in corporate boardrooms.

What does Trump mean for the fight against financial crime? Project 2025 outlines some priorities: repeal beneficial ownership laws; publish more FinCEN data. linkedin.com/posts/alex-jac…

I’d reiterate this for #CivilSociety, too. #Project2025 calls for a review of all USAID contracts, meaning many pro #democracy and and #corruption groups may find their donor funding cut off in January

@PeterKGeoghegan Gutting!

Wish the very worst karma on whoever stole my orange Brompton from outside Westminster this afternoon. Gutted doesn't come close

Financial secrecy is a huge climate problem.
