Very much enjoyed talking to @LizDavidBarrett on the @KickbackGAP podcast about my new book on integrity and football. Managed to restrict myself to just the one mention of @shrewsburytown, too. Quite some self-discipline that! amazon.co.uk/Foul-Play-Tack… pod.fo/e/278393

From the moment the PM told us about his football-related freebies, it sounded like a very big conflict of interest with creating the new football regulator. It’s perhaps naive not venal but either way should not be happening. Disappointing. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Kemi Badenoch says 'five to ten per cent' of civil servants 'should be in prison' Speaking at a @spectator event, the Tory leadership hopeful says some civil servants 'leak official secrets' and 'undermine their ministers'

Media rows on freebies have overly focused on whether politicians should accept gifts. The bigger question is: why are these offered in the first place?
